Title: Epson 1430 Ink
Post by: mpot on March 18, 2013, 10:45:45 AM

We have an Epson 1430 and we use all black ink. Every time we order new ink I question if I can save money getting some refillable cartridges but I worry they won't work as well as the sealed ones. Does anyone use these and if so any problems?

Thanks,
Matt

Save e=ven more money and just run one black and the rest with cleaning solution.

I don't have a 1430, but am quite happy with refillables for my 1100 for Cobra.

Also, I am unsure if always the case, but they sent them full which makes refilling even easier because the first time is a little tricky.
Also, you can talk to real human beings about technical issues

We use the refillable cartridges in our 1430, all black.  Printpayless.com is where we buy the bulk ink and refillable cartridges.  I think we paid 25 for the cartridges and 8 for the bulk black ink so it's CHEAP.

We use the continuous ink bulk set up from Cobra on our 1400. You can see the levels at a glance and go months now between refills as opposed to the refillable catrdriges that would need ink every other week.

Yep same here on my 1400 I wish I would have done it sooner. I found I can set it on the draft setting and still get good prints. It's 5 months old now and no issues
