This is with the newer Epsons, if I remember correctly.
I'd also like to point out that a good way to avoid inkjet
cartridges entirely, is to invest in a bulk-ink-supply for your favorite
printer. This kit replaces the inkjet cartridges with a seemingly normal
cartridge, except for the series of tubes that lead to far larger
ink-tanks (it is not a truck). The tubes neatly fold alongside the ribbon
cable for the head mechanism. I've kinda been eying the one for my 1520 --
at $80, costs about as much as just the two cartidges from Office Depot.
