This refillable cartridge is made of sturdy, transluscent, high-quality Polypropelene plastic. It inserts into your EPSON 4000, 7600 and 9600 and 4800 (Mt Black) printer easily. It is easily filled, but unlike other model refill cartridges, it does not need to be reset. You can buy an optional funnel for it to make pouring from bottles easier. We recommend using ConeColor or Piezography brand inks with it. However, the chip even though it can be reset with the optional chip resetter will not last indefinitely. We sell replacement chips in the related items section.
