I was just going to suggest that.. for the exact same printer :) ISTR calculating that the size of the bottles (500ml I think - they were huge!) would save about £1000 on original Epson cartridges for the same volume. I don't know about other makes TBH but it worked superbly well with the R200 :)On 30/11/12 07:37, tom wrote:I'm looking to get a printer for printing tshirts ( I will have toseverely modify the printer) and refillables would be the obvious choice.Any experience of re-filling so I can avoid certain ones? Tom te tom te tomNot sure about refillables, but if it's an inkjet I'd suggest looking at a continuous ink system.I had one a couple of years back on my Epson Stylus Photo R200 and it was ideal, it had special cartridges that went in the printer with tubes going to an ink tank. IIRC the tanks held about 10 times what a normal cartridge did and ink was pretty cheap.Looking at this site... http://www.inkexpress.co.uk/They seem to be around the £50 mark these days with ink starting at about £5 a bottle.They have a load of Epson printers listed, but I'm sure it would be possible to get them for other printers too such as HP, Canon etc.RobOoh.. thank you Google! http://cissmarket.com has a menu selector for different printer makes/models, so you can check prior to purchase if your desired printer has a CISS available and the price.JulianTom te tom te tomhttp://www.sawgrasseurope.com/v.php?pg=1114 Any good? :)
