The ink reservoirs are independently separated by colors that can be easily refilled only the empty tank anytime. It works efficiently in almost all brands and model of printers."
Looks like an interesting idea - anyone tried it? |
hm, that does look very interesting. i would be worried though that if you don't use the printer often enough, the print heads will dry out and the whole setup will be ruined. that is usually what kills my printers ; depending on whether the print heads are integrated into the cartridges or not (which is a factor in the cost of the cartridge) sometimes you can salvage them by changing the cartridge (for a price...) but not always. (my last epson which is probably going to be given away for parts is a testimony to that).
but for someone who does a lot of printing it looks like a great solution.

the price of the cartridges is now the FIRST thing i check when shopping for a new printer.
