Hello,
That's my experience regarding an Epson T33 and refillable cartridges/ink:
First, if you consider cartridges expensives, we pay over here (Brazil) the equivalent of US$ 16 for a cartridge with just 5 (yes, that's five) ml of ink...
Someone has compared this price to very expensive luxury champagne - champagne is cheaper!
So, the logical step was mail ordering a set of refillable cartridges at the same time I purchased the printer.
The best ink available over here is by Sensient. There may be better ones, but I was unable to locate any. So I purchased a set of 100ml bottles (2 blacks, 3 colors, dye based) for some US$ 50 including postage.
The process was very straightforward, there's even a video in Youtube showing how to do it. The only 'trick' is to unplug the printer from power during the change, and plug it back when the refillable ones are in place so the new chips will be recognized.
I've printed a lot, no trouble at all.
Unfortunately, as I've posted in another thread, I was unable to compare the Sensient ink to Durabrite...
