Re: Epson R340 Refillables and CIS Systems

Does anybody have a CIS system with a R340 and the printing does a good job?

Another thing I hear about CIS is it needs to be used frequently or it will clog up. Just wondering if this is true. I don't want to ruin my now discontinued R340 if what I hear is true

Thanks for any input!!

I have a R340 with a CIS as well as my R220 and my Canon 4200 and 4300's and have had not issues at all for well over 6 months now with the Epson R340 or the rest. Output is just as good as Epson cartridges and no issues with clogging if it sits between uses. They work wonderful together but I am sure there are inks out there that if used with it would cause issues, but I have had non.
