Hi, I've been reading the forum for a while now, but this is my first post...
I have an Epson R1800 printer, and have begun making transfers for t-shirts, so am now looking for a more economical ink solution.
I've read about the CISS from www.inkrepublic.com, and the Lyson inks and system sold by www.specialistinks.com, as well as a bit about some of the cheaper systems from echostore, and others found on ebay. I also found a bulk system at www.shopdyesub.com, but when I went back there today, I can't find it listed anymore, so I wonder if it's no longer being sold (for the R1800 that is).
I also noted that shopdyesub sells refillable cartridges for the R1800, which, considering that I'm not doing very high volume at this point, might be a good interim step for me. I also do photography (which is why I have this particular printer in the first place) and so need to use quality pigment, long-lasting inks either way.
So, my question is, has anyone used a CISS on the Epson R1800 (particularly either the inkrepublic or the specialistink one) or the refillable cartridges? What has been your experience?
By the way, I have really enjoyed the open sharing of helpful information, and by and large the good humor present in this forum -- not always the case online!
Thanks in advance for any experience anyone can share,
Charlotte
