If there is enough clearance in the Epson printer to do what many of us have done with Canon carts - buy some phillips slot stainless steel pan head sheet metal screws slightly thicker than the fill hole in the MIS carts and the shortest length you can find. Buy o-rings that fit really tightly on these screws to use as a seal. Screw them into the fill hole. They are self tapping and cut their own threads. When you tighten them down be careful not to overdo it as you will squeeze the o-ring out of place and lose the seal. Doing this will also make the fill hole slightly larger so filling will be easier.

I have a set of MIS virgin carts for my Canon printers and they work just fine. I agree that the little plastic plugs are impossible, so I did the screw/o-ring thing.

PS- I should mention that the cartridges from Inkforsale.net are labeled as "CET601 101 BLACK INK CARTRIDGE" and there's no company specified, although the have a bar code and a stamp saying "Ink made in USA".

Listen Everyone. I've been trying inks from "inkforsale.net" . I ordered several sets of carts for my i560. When I got the package, each cart came in a separate red box that was not labeled with the BCI-6C,Y,M but was labeled BCI-3e C,M,Y. This ink is supposed to be Pigmented ink as this is what is used in my Canon MP730. So I called and told them I had the wrong order and they informed me that all those carts that say BCI-3e, CMY, BK, are "DYE" ink as they don't have any Pigmented inks. You can imagine my surprise. All of the BLK inks used in most of the Canon printers is BCI-3e BLK and is pigmented. When you go to the "Inkforsale" web site and select a printer mfg, it takes you to a place to select your printer. What a joke, since they but the same ink in every cart. Yes the prive is very very cheap, but at what cost to your printer when things get clogged up.

I will continue to test their ink, but it apprears they are selling the "ONe Ink works for every Printer in the world", and they is what I paid for it.

Hmm... anyone know if "dye" ink will clog up an Epson Inkjet? It's still working fine in my printer, though I haven't printed more than a few tens of pages...

Moxfyre--- It depends on your printer model. Some of them expect Pigmented ink and many others take Dye inks. I have seen other "Experts" say that "Any printer will print with Dye ink",.. but I have also seen many reports that Epson uses Piezoelectric printhead and Canon uses Bubblejet Thermal ink printhead. The difference in viscosity is very differnet so at least the ink should try and match that. I don't think their Dye ink will harm anything,... but if your print driver for Photos is expecting Pigmented Ink, I can't see how it would turn out good. What bothers me about this place is that they are trying to make us think they have special ink for each printer type and model, when in fact, all they have is one kind of Dye ink. Does it work, yes it works in my Canon i560 because the color is expecting Dye ink. Will the Black work,... I don't know because Canon uses "Pigmented" ink for the black cartridge. I have not installed one of their black carts into any of my 3 printer and I'm not sure I'm going to. I use two printers to print Professional quality 8x10 photos and I've worked long and hard to get it to print correctly. You can imaging how mad I am at myself for even buying this super cheap ink when I've had good quality ink for 2 years. What a dummie.
