I'm given to understand that when printing with an Epson 13" printer on roll paper, the printer is able to deal with cartridge(s) running out of ink. That it can/will resume printing after replacement as if it had never run out of ink. I have found nothing where Epson states that it can/will do...

This thread brought back memories. My father was a WWII vet. Often, he indulged us kids with foods he had been acclimated to. Many times we had fried Spam or $h!t on a Shingle with Spam as the meat ingredient for breakfast. To this day I cannot stand Spam. I do like $h!t on a Shingle with meat...

@ Ink stained Fingers I agree. Even though I haven't tried the Marratt inks yet, I do not believe they'll be worth the extra cost. I'll be back to PC inks when I order my next batch. @stratman I had forgotten that Gail has her online album also. She is much more organized than I am. She is a...

@ Ink stained Fingers I just compared the present pricing for Marrutt and PC, almost choked on my bubble gum. The 8 x 4oz [125ml] bottles + 8 x empty cartridges + 8 x syringes & needles. Marrutt = $250 PC = $150 Not sure if that was the Marrutt pricing when I bought, it was probably well over...

[If you're not into the narrative, skip to the bold section.] My Background: I bought my first PC in 2000 as a business expense, but set it up for my personal usage needs. I outfitted it with a Brother MFC laser printer for the business uses. Then, as a serious amateur photographer, I bought an...

While I have been printing my photos for display for years, I have never gone beyond simply doing a basic monitor visual calibration with the old PS Gamma utillity. My printers have been an Epson 1270, an Epson 1280 and then an Epson 1400, all dye based ink printers. I have just purchased an...

Thanks guys. Excellent info for stage 2 of my upgrade to a wider format inkjet. My interest right now is which type of inks are best for my intermittent usage style, dye, pigment, or ...(?) . That will define the models that will work best through the long run for me. My thoughts are that the...

I've owned Epson inkjet printers : 1270, 1280 and now a 1400. The 1400 has been a dream to use compared to the 1st two. After fighting the inks drying, clogging the nozzles and finally throwing both the 1270 and 1280 away because they would no longer print properly, I have finally found my...

I just went back and looked at a pdf of the 1400's user manual. It says to leave the carts in the printer when shipping. I'll swear that I had read in the paper manual [it's still packed away somewhere] to remove the carts when shipping. Apparently I got it all screwed up in the confusion at the...

Well, I finally unpacked my 1400 and began to set it up today. When I opened it up to deal with the ink cartridge carriage, to my horror I saw that I hadn't remove the cartridges as I had intended to. Things had been in an uproar getting things packed up, sold, given away, thrown away or donated...

Thank you cls for your response. I have a number of 10ml syringes. They should be OK to use for this? I will not use the cannulae that I have, but will obtain a section of latex or clear plastic tubing to connect the syringe to the nozzle intakes on the printhead. Using Windex, flush ~2cc's...

I have just completed a long distance move. My Epson 1400 has been in transit and then storage since the end of July. Per shipping instructions that I could find, I removed the ink cartridges before packing it up. It has been almost 4 months since there have been cartridges in it. In 2 or 3...

Ever since I had my Epson 1270 I've been scoping on printing out a maximum sized panoramic photo. I've gone through the 1270, a 1280 and now have a 1400. I also finally have a few stitched panoramic photos that are worth the effort. I would now like to try printing some of them. The 1400 does...
