Can mod for Epson C680? Uses catridge T017, T018.

I thot you need to mod to get if to work.
RM160 - yes please, i want one C680 full set. Confirmed. Thanks, exCISS.

They don't like my ugly face lah. all the postman try to avoid me.......so sad. Never mind, today not in anyway to receive.
Everybody else receive already?

Worried loh. Poslaju tracking shows delivery attempt at 1815 hours. At that time got plenty of ppl at home already. Also no poslaju card left behind. Either they went to wrong address or they did not come at all.

Relief: thanks, buddy.
As I mentioned earlier, you're doing a great job! I hope more LYN sellers can follow your example.

Barang sudah sampai!
Thanks a million, ezCISS!

Happy to report that ur kit has been installed and is working great in my printer now.
My original Epson black cartridge had been empty for over a month and almost 30% of the nozzles were clogged up. But after only 5 nozzle cleaning cycles, everything is 100% clear!

Installing the kit was easy, thanks to the instructions provided by exCISS, both in detailed words and pictures.

ezCISS, I'm considering also converting my C80 to this system.
Just 2 questions.

1. How long can the new CISS ink be stored if left unopened/unused in the original pack? My current Epson original C80 cartridges are still more than 70% full, so it could be months before i need to change them!

2. Epson uses Durabrite Ink Technology for the C80 (and also C65 which many in V1 have), is the CISS equivalent also water resistant (for all colors) and more durable than the normal water based inks?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I purchased the C80 primarily for the Durabrite ink due to its specific properties of being water resistant and durable. For this printer I would not want to use normal water soluble inks. How much more would the pigment inks cost?

Hope u can come up with the goodies again.
Cheers.

Ya, thinking of trying ur paper too, would like to order together with the CISS kit.
I've been on original all this time because the print quality and durability of the printouts is quite crucial for my application - the prints are exposed to quite harsh environment, and the Durabrite ink has been the only one (in the consumer range) i have found (compared to all other printer brands - HP, Canon, etc) to stand up to it.
I don't consider it `expensive' if it can satisfy the job requirements. Of course, if ur supplier can offer a more economical solution, i'd be a fool not to switch!
So far no other third party ink supplier has been confident that their ink can work as well (or nearly as well) as the original stuff. I think they're only on normal dyes, so they can't commit.

I don't know about osxchd's application (does he need pigment ink too?), for me it's the durability that's more important than color matching. I don't think any consumer printer can be exact and consistent enough anyway. They're getting better, but.....

The refill problem will always be there. Even supply of original cartridges for this Epson model is not easy to find. If u can obtain a constant supply of pigment refill ink, that'll be icing on the cake!

Mr.LKM very money minded nowadays.... when u going to start ur own WTS thread? i'm sure many ppl will buy from u too

Hi, ezCISS it's been quite some time since we had our last chat, and your bulk has grown from strength to strength.

I have just 2 things to consult you about.

1. I have lost one of the air filter plugs from my C680 set. How do I get some replacements? I think i will probably lose some more later.....

2. I have still not used my C80 pigment set yet as my original cartridges were still quite full. But now the original cyan ink is almost down to zero, but the other 3 colors are still half full. Can I just put in your cyan cartridge as a replacement without removing the other original inks? I will have to figure out how to separate the feed tubes of course, but do you think there will be any problem mixing the pigments on the printed page?

Thanks.

Got your email, what a BRILLIANT idea!

Guys, ezCISS never fails to amaze me when it comes to finding better solutions to my printing problems....

Yes, it's mind boggling.....BTW Mr.LKM what are you doing here....shouldn't you be out watching the eclipse?

ezCISS, long time no see...I need to order some ink lah. Will pm you on the details. Cheers!

Strangely, I was watching Heroes episode satu last night.....that's the one with the Solar eclipse I think....but I fell asleep 5 minutes from the beginning. So I missed 2 eclipses in one night!
Now that's my kind of outdated. Google Sky was officially launched just days ago. You are so outdated you scare me lah!

Ok, about my order, please wait for my pm.....still composing it. You know me, always good at making a short story long.
