    IMHO, using bulk ink system/kit is much better and cheaper.

    I know there is a company selling auto-reset ink level chipset. their chipset can avoid your printer's cleaning cycles.

    If you let your printer sitting there without doing anything for about few hours, whenever you start to print, your printer start to do the cleaning. Guess what, it uses "INK" to clean the print head, and it uses about 2ml ~ 3ml ink. Ink cartridge has about 13ml ~ 15ml ink, however, if you do too many clean cycles, you will run out ink right away, even you use refilled cartridge.

    The problem is not on "Ink" per'se, but the "chipset" Epson designed. Hence, I think if you really want to get rid of "wasting ink problem" and save money, you can try to buy some bulk ink system with autoresettable chipset which can prevent cleaning.

    I know
    http://www.InkRepublic.com is selling such system and they provide free shipping to uk.

    If you do some cost analysis, the cost of buying bulk ink system from them is next to nothing. Because you can save so much more than refilling ink.
