Hey, what's up. I bought an Epson S20 printer yesterday after giving up on my brand new Lexmark (never buy lexmark, ever). The reason I chose the Epson is because of it's cheap refills and the printer itself was only 25 quid incl. delivery etc. Anyway, I print black only so I bought a few cartridges - 4 for 6.50. However I would like to refill the used ones anyway until the cartridge is dead and can't be refilled any longer. Anyone know a good howto about the T0891/T0711 cartridge? Is it protected by a chip? I heard that it is but found a software that resets ink levels and it seems to work. As far as refilling goes I found a video on youtube and some info online but it's not great. I'll look for more but if anyone knows a good tutorial - please share. Below is the video. It looks complicated. I've always thought taht you just stick the needle and pour - at least that's how I've done it so far.

I'm also thinking about a CISS. The printer prints 26ppm (black) so it's not bad for bulk prints. However with the cost of just 6.5 quid for 4 cartridges which I'm hoping to refill several times, I'm not sure whether I should invest 20-30 quid in a CISS. I also don't know whether the printer has any protection against such devices. I found a video on youtube of an S20 with a CISS:

Does this mean that my printer can certainly have a CISS? I really would want to get one but I don't know whether some chip protection won't prevent it from working.
