    Epson L850 - Head Clogged or damaged?

    It is my understanding that the problems - misprints - happend with sveral printheads in a row which still let me think that the problem is with the printer somewhere and not with the printhead(s) in the first place. Could it be that the tubing is somewhere squeezed on the way from the ink...

    Epson L850 - Head Clogged or damaged?

    No, the ink tubes connect to dampers, white cartridge like inserts into the printhead carriage, and the ink passes through the dampers and the filter to the ink connectors at the printhead - these should be replaced dampers like these here - but there are more offers...

    Epson L850 - Head Clogged or damaged?

    I'm running a L805 which uses the same printhead, and I'm at 56 000 pages with the first printhead. It could be that the dampers - the cartridge inserts in the printhead - are clogged and don't let enough ink passing. There is a litle wire mesh filter inside which clogs up, and there is no...

    Epson L850 - Head Clogged or damaged?

    Could you please post the nozzle check as well. What type of ink are you using - OEM or 3rd party refill ? How much did you print so far - the nozzle check should tell.

    Epson Cashback

    Epson is running a cashback action in Germany - and advertising a new model of an Ecotankprinter at the same time - bigger than all previous Ecotank printers ; I haven't seen any technical data yet - it appears to be an A2 desktop combo ... and Usain Bolt is apparently happy with it - he just...

    looking for sources on good quality bulk refill inks for older cannon printers, MX870 era etc ? PGI220, CLI221 carts

    No, they don't; Mike does his own inks . I just mentioned precisioncolors as an alternate supplier serving the U.S./Canada region and creating less shipment hazzles than with import duty etc. from Germany.

    Fading of patch sheets in the dark

    Let me update the fading results after 1 year with the patch sheets kept in the dark, but w/o any specific additional archiving precautions e.g. albums with acid free paper, special boxes or whatever. It appears to me that some ink/paper combinations are drifting slower since the last report - 9...

    Canon Pro-100 Banding in Standard Quality Mode but great in High Quality Mode

    The printer may use smaller droplets for the high quality mode, and these are located in another nozzle row. Canon nozzles can only print one droplet size, Epson nozzles can be controlled by the driver for several different droplet sizes.

    Print head compatibility

    I must admit I don't get it what you want to acheive. Vegetable inks for refill are on the market and can be purchased. And you may look up the MSDS - Material Data Safety sheets for Epson inks if you want to use Epson printers, these MSDS will tell you an approximate contents of an ink - water...

    Epson SC-P900 compatible cartridge chips: resettable or not ?

    It is interesting to see that my 3rd party chips for my T2100 cartridges look physically exactly the same as yours for the P900.

    Do Canon Mega Tank Printers have code to reset ink pad?

    A general statement for all Canon printers is just not possible, it depends on the product model. Your printer might be listed in the WicReset software, and you need to replace the waste ink pads yourself. Other printers have a maintenance box - with a chip. Resetters might be available from...

    DIY Eco Tank bottles?

    I have not seen any bottle for the Ecotank printers - 102, 106, 114, 664 and more - on which you could not unscrew the top of the bottle - it's pretty tight and you might have to use a tool. Give it another try.

    New Canon Pro-1100 announced

    Looking around for the specs of the Pro 1000 and Pro 1100 I recognize that Canon is publishing a droplet size of 4 pl in the Druckkopf - Printhead section for the Pro 1000 https://www.canon.de/printers/inkjet/pro-photo-printers/imageprograf-pro-1000/specifications/ This is a very rare instance...

    New Canon Pro-1100 announced

    I'm not really getting it - Canon is claiming a significant improvement of the longevity, a better matte black and better scratch resistance - this inkset just could run on the existing Pro-1000 model - with a firmware and driver update, I don't see the need for new and heavier hardware - with...

    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    Your tests confirm may findings I made quite some time ago - before Corona - with the P400 printer. I tested a range of inks and papers, there is wide variability in the gloss and bronzing behaviour between all those. This was the time I tested as well a separate GO gloss optimizer overprint, I...

    Can you install new ink cartridge in Stylus Pro 7880 without updating printer firmware?

    I would consider your case as a warranty case with the dealer, you got a cartridge from him which is not working, and if you are already a longer time customer of that company they should have an interest to fix your problem. They should give you a replacement cartridge in exchange of the defect...
