Ok, time to snap out of it and get a new printer. It was a daunting task to pick out a new printer. I noticed that there must be 30 new models come out this month. Holy cow, this is going to take some time. I think I like Epson R300M because it has that monitor thingy. Rats, it's discontinued. Already??? I just saw an advertisement for it. Oh well, I guess I'll go with R320, that has a nifty little color monitor too.

The first thing I better do is go to atlascopy.com and see if they carry cartridges, bulk ink and refilling stuff for my new printer. Oh, and I can't forget to email myself and ask if my old ink will work with this new printer. Darn, I don't see my new printer listed on web site. Why don't they keep their site up to date?

Finally got an answer back from myself. Seems that they have all my stuff but I didn't think to look for cartridge numbers instead of printer models. I really think they should get on ball and list all those new printers when they come out every day. What would it take, two, three hours a day? You can't tell me they are that busy!

Now, what can be done if you really want to refill your rock? The best thing to do would be to get some purging fluid or you can make your own version of 50% water and 50% Ammonia. Inject fluid into cartridge, as much as you can get in. Let it sit for a day or two. Then suck out as much as you can with your injector.

Refill in normal manner but don't expect best results because it is impossible to remove all of purge fluid. Your prints might be a little washed out until fluid mixes with ink. If you're persistent you could possibly restore it to 100%.

Congratulations, you just refilled a rock! :-)
