I believe epson changed the cartridge between 1270 and 1200. They added a
microchip sensor so the printer can more "reliably" determine when the
cartridge is empty. The by product of this (and some claim the intention)
is that you can no longer refill the cartridges.

||In a George Lepp seminar a few weekends ago, he had a large number of
prints
||done on the new Epson 1270. Quite nice, and the panoramic 13" X 42" prints
||were especially impressive. The new "archival" inks used with it are not
||supposed to be compatable with the 1200 and similar vintage printers, but
he
||said to try it and find out. This leads me to believe that the ink jets
are
||different in some way on these newer models, and may be an attempt to
rectify
||the clogging problems?? He also said the Epson papers were the best to use
||with that printer. He seems like a very straight forward guy, but he's
also
||partially sponsored by Epson, so.....
