Just curious - is it possible to refill and prime an original Epson 7900 cartridge that has been used up?
To make a long story short, I have just this weekend picked up a 7900 practically free. The university I work at has one that I've used, and because of that I can get a whole set of carts free, used, when they next go empty. I'm not keen on spending 4-figures on getting ink for this almost free printer, so I'm looking at all my options when it comes to getting it running. I am looking at ConeColor inks, of course.
I don't even know if it works as of yet. It has no carts and no maintenance cart even.
My fall-back plan is to just donate it for a tax write-off to the university, since the photo program could use another one and would likely convert it to a piezography printer. Or maybe I'll just do the piezography thing, but I'd like to have a full color printer. I've already got friends and business contacts calling me about doing poster/banner prints for their businesses. There is no fine art or high-quality print shop in town, or even in the next few towns, except for one clueless frameshop owner who can barely operate a computer (I used them once and he just let me use the printer computer and do whatever, because he had no idea what an ICC profile even was).
