A looong time ago, I had a Epson Workforce 1100, who I eventually filled full of 00 buck, long story...heh
But, my sister in law has a Canon printer that uses the 211 and 210 cartridges, according to Precision they use dye ink, I was going threw my junk drawer (my desk actually) and I found the...
Wow, told ya my search skills sucked, thank you very much.
When I get home from work this afternoon I am gonna start filling them. I thought the windowed ones PC sells were aftermarket carts, I should order a couple sets, I will fire them an email and see if there OEM chips or the ARC/COC chips....
It's nothing fancy like you guys have, just dont wanna fubar anything again, so I am going to be precise...heh
There the CLI 226 and the giant CLI 225 tanks

Printed some solid colors, looks good for the shape it's in. It'll hold out till the new printhead comes in....
Also cleaned the wipers off, they were so caked with crud it...
I have a set of OEM's that I was refilling before I got the CISS, also the set of refillables, the OEM chips I had on there decided to stop being recognized and nothing I did would help. I got lazy and didnt want to pull the carts for refilling, hence the CISS. I should have left well enough...
