Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
You don't want to refill the Epson cartidges. You can either get cartidges designed to be refillable, or a CIS/Bulk Ink System. Either solution will run from about $50 to $300, and it's hard to say if the more expensive ones are even any better from what I've seen.
www.inkjetfly.com has CIS systems as low as $50 (empty), though I cannot attest to the quality or lack thereof. www.inksupply.com seems to have had a few more people use it and like it, thought the price is a bit higher (about $110 empty, though it might vary with printer). Still looking for the best option here myself, and I'm finding it hard to get enough feedback to get a good idea of the various CIS companies ;)
A refillable system is going to be a lot more cost effective for you. You'll save on the ink and the shipping. If you get one from AET(where i got mine), they have ones that dont require the syringes. The inks come in bottles that interlock with the cartridges. Much easier and a lot less messy. The refillables are a lot less expensive than the cont. flow systems too.
No, becouse they have a electronic chip that would have to be reseted.
Second thing is that those cardriges do not have proper hole to refill them (have to be drilled).

Any more ideas?

Reason: fixed quoting
It seems like everyone that has gotten a bulk system got it for a different vendor! Makes basing one's choice on other's experiences decidedly more difficult than normal ;)
Anyway, MIS (inksupply.com) does have a system for a C88. A slight majority of people (I asked on the HTFDP board as well) had used this system and liked it, so this is probably the one I'm going to go with myself.
moving up to bulk ink???????
