Phil,

I did receive a reply off list and here it is. However, It didn't really
answer any specific questions about the epson.

I'm going to try once my current ink cart runs out. I'll keep you posted
about the results.

Hi Peg,
I have been re-filling my stylewriter cartridges with supplies obtained at
Office Depot. There is a small circular "tab" that is removeable. The
refill kits come with "pointy" bottles and you just drip it in..... just
try not to do it too fast!

Jim (my friend) has been buying the "Full Monty" replacement cartridges
and
was delighted to find that he could re-fill from "bulk" with a quality
ink.
Since I just sent him the first message re: the Lennox papers on Monday,
he
'phoned around and then went and bought some, and was also pleasantly
surprised when the proprietor informed him of the Higgins replacement inks
as a cheaper alternative.

As ypu probably know many of the cartridges are made by Cannon and HP with
the respective printer "name" for different manufacturers.... ie the Apple
is made by "another" company and the Apple logo and name put on the
"custom
casing"
