Thanks for the clarification, Steve.
I also believe there are lots of good ink refill kits out there, but I
don't know which companies know the difference between dye ink and
pigment ink!
Is there an easy way figure this out, so I don't have to find out when
I see spider-legs on the page?
I thought I'd start up a collection of ink companies and just ask each
one. Maybe they'll talk to me.
Thank you!
