Ink Refill Cartridges vs Continuous System

[trpenner]

I purchased a JLWSales system for my Epson R320 and had nothing but problems with it (even though it was supposed to be his latest v.6).

I am now considering getting some spongeless cartridges. I had heard that the cartridges of the spongeless variety leaked and used more ink than necessary. I now hear that some of the newer ones don't leak and some even have the never empty chips that will cause the printer to reset to 95% therefore not allowing the clean mode that uses all that ink. I also here there is better dye ink than what the Epson comes with including that with UV protection.

These are all things I have heard over time so I need some real guidence here. The only things actually 'selling' on eBay it seems are still the continuous systems.

I think the refillable catridges might be the way to go here but I need some help regarding who to buy from and what to look out for.

Thanks.

I've been using mine for 6 months with great success in a R300. Perfect nozzle checks everytime. I did the waste ink external bottle mod and use the SSC service utility to reset the waste ink counter when I think need to. All carts have reset themselves at about 10% back to 100%.

What problems have you experienced?

I switched to InkRepublic.com's CIS for a week. So far so good. Pretty easy to install and no blockage so far.

The ink flow seems to be better than any CIS. I will keep posting later.
