It's been ten months since I purchased the i-Refill system from Inkrepublic for my Epson 3800. It's been okay, but I've had many problems with clogging, especially heavy banding in mid shadow areas. I'm also a bit disappointed in the bronzing I can see, especially in black and white prints the...

Hi. I am having the same issue. And I'm desparate as I need to get some serious work printed within the next two weeks.
