Hi, does anyone know how much of a 70ml bottle of Epson 512 ink is used up when filling an ET-7700? Even a rough estimate would be better then nothing.

Thanks!

Good question.

And there are so many variables.... Page yields etc. were all over the place and no " number crunching" ended in consistent results.

However, strictly focusing on volume (70 ml) watch the following YouTube video link:

Start around the 8:00 minute mark and carefully watch the refills.

Especially Magenta and PB. You can just barely see the ink going down in the inverted bottles. About half way I think.

Poster moves the bottles off-camera as each refill is completed - so you cannot really always see the upright bottles after each tank is filled.

Bottle to tank refill ratio: Looks to me like about 2 refills per bottle...

Google for other similar "how-to's" and "tutorials". Maybe someone will specifically mention the bottle/tank refill ratio.
