I have an apson r220 which is soon going to run out of ink. I may be able to get some very large genuine epson cartridges for one of their pro printers cheap. What I was thinking of doing was refilling my r220 carts with the inks from the other carts. I have a syringe but the only instructions I could find on the net talk about needing a plug to reseal the filling hole.

Has anyone refilled carts and could shed any light on this? The big carts I may be able to get have about 6 times the ink that the r220 ones have and I could get them for about £4-5 so it would be substantially cheaper if I can do it. I already have black an yellow carts.

I have heard bad stories about using compatibles causing head blockage. I have seen a CIS system for about the same price as a set of epson carts but the ink obviously won't be genuine epson.

thanks
