The quality doesn't have to be top-notch. I just want to buy a printer that
let the user self-refill the ink. Thanks.

There may be some new Canon iP6000D printers still available in the
pipeline. Google and see. This is a six color printer using bci-6 carts.
a more expensive printer that may be available is the i9900 but this is not
inexpensive, even at discounted prices. It is a wide format 8 color photo
printer.

Go onto the Nifty Stuff Forum and read up on the iP4200 and iP4300 printers.
The cartridges can be easily filled but hav a chip on them that, when
registering empty and refilled, stops the ink monitor from functioning and
possibly terminates your warranty.

There are plenty of printers that will let you put in generic ink and
they are ready to clog up.

I have 3 printers running perfectly on refill ink that do not require
any more cleaning than recommended in Canon manuals for their own inks.
And from experience, I don't have to clean unless I install a new set of
cartridges and press 'clean' to prime the ink.

and dyebase bulk ink from MIS made for the C88 by their supplier will make
refilling a breeze and avoid clogging.

I spoke with this and found them rude and I was offended.&nbsp; I do not like their website and the way a few disclosures are not very prominent.

I spoke with them.&nbsp; While they were nice they told me they did not want to let me know what I was buying.&nbsp; They said they are afraid of someone finding their sources and competiting with them.&nbsp; They also acknowleged that the customer will not know if they change suppliers since the customer would not be told.

So maybe the person you are thanking works for an ink relabeler.&nbsp; You do not know.&nbsp; And neither do I.


Thanks

Thanks for the link. I went to CompUSA today. Instead of C88 and CX5800, I
found only C88+ and CX5800F. Are these new models still compatible with the
cartridge? Also, what does "MIS" stand for? Thanks again.

Comparing the cartridges that the Epson C88 and C88+ use show they take
the same ones when I just went to the Epson web site ( www.epson.com ) and
looked at the model numbers on their online store. The cartridges would
work.
If you're looking for ink from MIS go to

http://www.inksupply.com/epsoninks.cfm#860

and you'll be able to locate the ink for the C88 on this page to give you an
idea of cost. I recently read that one ounce of ink is equivalent to two
fills for these cartridges. Hence a 4 oz bottle will give you about 6 - 7
refills per color, being conservative. Additionally you would need at least
a 10 cc syringe and a priming nozzle for the very first time you fill each
cartrtidge.
http://www.inksupply.com/spongless_carts.cfm (Look at the very bottom of
the page) . This nozzle twists onto the bottom of a syringe. After filling
the cartridge for the first time one punctures the bottom plastic of the
cartridge where it feeds into the print head and pulls out about 1cc of ink
with this bottom adaptor. This pulls out any air that was originally trapped
at the spring loaded valve. After this is done it does not have to be done
anymore when new fillings are done as ink is already filling the valve
cavity.

MIS carries the spongeless cartridges also but I think one would be better
off with the auto resetting chips to have to purchase the additional chip
resetter.

Have a nice holiday,
