I'm thinking of buying a CIS (Continuous Ink Supply) or refillable cartridges for an Epson R1800, but don't really know where to start or even if in my case it would be a viable option - any advice/information would be greatly appreciated!
I want a pigment based ink, and one that will make prints that will last around 50 - 80 years. I generally print between 5 to 10 13x19" color prints per month and am wondering whether to buy a CIS or refillable cartridges. The other factor I am concerned about is periods of time where the printer is not used at all. I also have no clue as to who a reliable supplier would be.
Besides those general issues, here are some more specific questions (and these are for both a CIS or refillable cartridges):
1. Are there any issues/problems with prolonged periods of not using the printer?
2. Do I need to do anything special if I do not use the printer for anywhere from 1 to 2 months?
3. What about longer time periods?
4. What is the minimum time that is ok to left the system unused?
5. Given the amount of printing I do, would it be wiser just to buy normal (either OEM or 3rd party) cartridges?
If there are other particular issues that I should be aware of with either system, I would appreciate any info.
Thank you
