Roland BN-20 inks

[Robert M]

Anyone ever try to put a 440ml cartridge in a BN-20? And if BN-20 does not like the 440ml chip, can you use a 220ml chip? Some Roland's didn't write back to the chips so you could keep use them as long as the cartridge didn't actually flag that it was empty (the tab on the cartridge actually hit the sensor.)
Thanks

440's work just fine. I've used OEM, Marabu and RiteMedia carts. The "ink levels" in VW won't be accurate, but it doesn't really matter

no problem at all, my roland account manager was horrified but as long as the extra length is supported in some way go for it, more cost effective as well

I put in little spacers made from cereal boxes, but I've seen someone make a full out support stand.
