We are printing about 100 pages per day, mostly photos and student artwork, but use inexpensive paper and don't need photo-quality. Currently using R280, and while it is not bad and served us well for a couple of years, there is more maintenance than I would like with CISS, occasional streaking...

Long time canon and epson refiller, but for personal use only. Looking for a hassle-free solution for elementary school. Currently using Epson R280 with CISS, but nozzles often get blocked or catch an air bubble or whatever, dribbles a bit of ink sometimes, needs bottles moved up/down to keep...

I work at an elementary school and I'd like to replace our expensive color laser printer with an inkjet + CISS. Mostly printing throw-away artwork and such from kids and teachers. I'm thinking about getting a slightly used 1400 or R280 or similar. Would appreciate a suggestion for a dye-based...

I decided (mostly just because I like to tinker) to switch to pigment inks on my Epson 1400. I print only about 20-30 photos/month. I like to use Kirkland glossy paper for messing about because it is great value, so performance on glossy paper is important. I play with a variety of matte papers...

I'm looking for a paper in 24-30lbs range that can print decent business graphics or kids artwork. Most papers that one can buy for $8/500 seem to be uncoated, and coated bond papers from Canon or Epson are very expensive... Any suggestions for paper under 10c/sheet?

Hi, I have been refilling both Canon and Epson entry level printers at home for a few years, but I have no experience with CISS. As IT Manager at an elementary school, I always try to do things cost-effectively, and our solid-ink Phaser printer is fairly expensive to run, although generally...

I am getting very slight vertical banding repeating every 1/2 inch or so only on "light magenta" pattern print (the fake light magenta, since it only has 1 magenta). It is very slight, and running printhead cleaning as well as auto and manual head alignment is not changing anything. It looks a...

I've been using pigment inks (Image Specialists) in my Epson R280 since it was new, but could never quite produce perfect ICC profiles to dial out enormous cyan cast Epson drivers give when using pigment inks on this printer. I just ordered dye inks from Precision Colors, but I am not sure how...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I accidentally filled photo black cartridge with pigment black ink. Does Canon iP4300 use any pigment ink at all when printing photos on photo paper? I am seeing some bronzing in near blacks, so some pigment ink is obviously present. But, when I print test page...
