I received a free Epson R3000 printer. Owner said he had not used it for a while and head needed a good cleaning, He also said it was problematic in that he got error messages regarding the ink carts.
I cleaned it up, put in a new set of re-fillable carts, with inks from ali express. Wow! Great...
HI,
I'm running my spare Pro 100 (that I bought sans print head) with the print head from my first machine. I'm now getting B200 codes somewhat frequently. I have have <200 prints on this machine. I'm thinking of buying a new print head for it. I am afraid to invest too much in it. I don't want...
I just got a new in box pro 100, sans ink and print head. I got it as a spare for the 4 year old unit I'm using. Out of curiosity, I searched for a new print head. They are crazy expensive. Is there a economical source I' m overlooking?
I've been refilling with PC inks for a couple of years now. Between my two sets of carts, I've refilled 16 times. I've never flushed my carts, and have never had any problems.
I'm going to be ordering a fresh set of inks in the next few weeks. I'm thinking I can just add new formula to old...
I have a Lexmark printer that decided not to work after a Windows 10 update. I'm thinking of replacing it. (It is used occasionally, and is not my primary home printer). I'm using a Pro-100 at the office, and refilling my CLI-42's . Are there other Canon printers that use the CLI-42? I don't...
My Pro-100 never acted up until today. I was not able to print on Canon 13 x 19 glossy paper- I kept getting an error message for paper jam. Paper was nice and flat, and I think, properly inserted in manual feed tray..
I gave up after six tries. Then printed on plain paper in rear tray just fine.
I've got all re-filled carts in the Pro-100 for the first time. I've resisted changing them all out as a set when carts are still nearly full. This was a six cart swap. I did this in the midst of printing 10 8 x 10 glossies. First print after swap has slight banding in highlights. That went away...
Ok, I had a window of opportunity, so I refilled my first two carts today. I re-set the chips, removed ball from each, drilled 5/32" hole, and filled. I was very concerned I'd over-fill, as I watched the ink level climb on the sponge side, so I played it conservatively.
These are photo magenta...
I got a low ink indicator on my Light Gray cartridge. I was planning to swap all 8 carts. The light gray was totally empty on the side without sponge. Photo Magenta was 1/2 full. all the others had so much ink, I didn't swap them this time. Some were reading half full or less, and were 3/4...
I adapted my Pro 100 spread sheet for Pro 10. I can't upload an excell file here. But it would be nice if I could because if you enter the numbers on your computer, it will total them for you.
I've been watching some videos regarding flushing the carts. It appears that people don't seem to worry about getting the chips wet. One guy runs water into the fill hole under the faucet, and water is running all over the cart, including the chip.
Is it so? It doesn't matter if the chip gets...
Ok,
The Pro 100 has been up and running for about a month. All is well. I just got my refill kit from Precision Color. I have a full set of extra OEM carts.
I made a little spreadsheet to keep right under my nose when I do my cartridge swapping and refilling. Hopefully I can avoid making an...
