I am new in this forum. I have a Epson stylus Photo 825 and R260.
I am looking for good refillable spongeless cartridges. I usually refilled MIS inks to original epson cartridges but it is not convinence so I would like to use refillable cartridge to refill my MIS inks. If anybody know, please give me your idea.
Thank you.

The only Epson spongeless carts I've seen have been from MIS. Do they have these carts on their website?

Thank you all your informations.
Do you know which one is better between MIS cartridges and alotofthings cartridges?
The cartridge systems of both shops looks different. Which one is more leak proof and safe to use? I got information which alotofthings cartridge has a auto chip and it is huge advantage.
Do you know which one is better?

While the auto reset chips are more convenient, they work really well and are meant for continuous ink systems. The tank is easily topped up and monitored visually.

On a refillable cartridge, there is a small risk when using auto reset chips. If you don't pay attention as to when you are running low, and continue to use the printer until the head sucks air, it will create the biggest issue with Epsons. .... Shooting Blanks. In other words getting air into the heads and nozzle chambers. It will appear to be clogged.... no output. To get rid of those usually requires multiple cleaning cycles and wasting a lot ink. It's just that you'll have to pay attention to this and monitor when the ink is getting low since the reset feature will not stop the printer from printing when the ink runs out.

On the R260, there is no resetter at this time so you'll have to live with an auto reset arrangement in the refillable and pay attention to the ink levels.

Do note that the inkset for the 825 and r260 has changed substantially to the point where the color differences are even perceptible in solution. All ink colors have changed.
