<<But beware - at least a couple of us have ordered prefilled EB6
carts only to find that they were incorrectly filled - instead of
6 different densities of eboni, they had two different tones (warmtone
and cooltone). So when you buy the bulk EB6 the inks will be
different.>>

Thanks for the warning. I'll keep my eyes open for this possibility. I think
I got lucky in that regard, since the set of prefilled EB6 carts I got seem
to be producing prints exactly as described by Paul Roark in his PDF article
on the subject. In any case, I just ordered the 4 oz size bottles of Eboni 6,
as well as the refill "hardware" you listed.

By the way, is it just me or do others here find the MIS website rather
difficult to navigate? The part numbers and links provided by you and others on
this forum have been quite handy, since I personally have been almost entirely
unable to find any of them by simply navigating the site. The Epson 1400 is
not even listed in the printer choices when one is looking for inks.

<<Go to inksupply.com -> Refill kits -> Refill instructions -> Refilling
Epson R260, R380, RX580 Series Cartridges (these are the same basic
type as the 1400's)>>

EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Thanks again.

Rob

Rob, don't feel bad....I did the same thing with the MIS carts for my r1800. Felt a little chagrined but mostly just relieved that the solution was so simple. ...
