I'm sorry Russ did answer my question which I failed to see in the E-mail he sent me, as follows: Q1: What is a damper? A1: Dampers are containers that properly provide inks to gravity and pressure fed print heads. All Epson pro printers contain dampers above the head under the print head...

Apparently there are a couple of different interpretations of what a damper cart is. I e-mailed Russ Hardie (Inkjet Carts) the same question because I use his inks. He really didn't answer my question but he did send me a video regarding a completely different type of cart that they are in the...

I was just wondering for inkjet cartridges in general. So actually there are a couple answers to my initial question and basically what make printer (Epson or Canon) somewhat determines the answer to the question. Thank you Andrew

I'm pretty sure I'm 99% knowing what the answer is but I'm not 100% sure. Question: Are damper carts, ink jet carts without the sponge in it? I know it's a simple question but thank you for the answer Andrew

You were right Pharmacist as usual. What you told me made sense but I didn't have a clue about it. I did as you instructed and I now see movement in my black ink cart. Thanks again Andrew

Besides my Epson R3000 I have a Canon Pixma iX6520 (which BTW is a very good inexpensive A3+, 5 ink color printer). I use Abacus compatible inks which I'm very happy with. I use the 6520 printer strictly for text, text with color and an occasional photo just to compare to R3000 photo.The 5...

To answer my question on my initial post wanting to know if I could initialize my Referb R3000 printer using 3rd party inks rather than using the 9 Epson OEM ink carts that came with the Referb printer. BTW when I send my original printer back to Epson, you are instructed NOT to send back any...

Mikling, I couldn't understand your last post. Are you saying you initialized a R3000 using 3rd party inks and you had a hard time doing it? If there was a problem, what was the problem? I'll be initializing my referb R3000 with 3rd party inks when I receive it this Monday. I'm hoping I don't...

I'll reload all my refillable carts and inks and give it a shot. If it works I'll be ahead of the game if it doesn't work it will be My Bad. I'll let it be known what happen when I receive my referb in a couple of days. Andrew

Thank you mikling for your advice which is exactly what I will do. Thanks again Andrew

Thank you "The Hat" Nobody really seems to know the answer. I e-mailed both of the Refillable Inks & Carts vendors that I deal with. One said there shouldn't be any problem and one wasn't sure it it was possible without using the Epson OEM inks. Either way I'm going to give it a shot to...

Thank you Joseph for your reply. I was thinking along those lines. Also thinking that I'm sure Epson tests their referbs so there may be some Epson inks left in the printers tubes after they been tested and flushed out. Thinking along those lines I'm just going to install my refillable inks and...

I was wondering if anybody ever had the following situation and what they did: I'm sending my R3000 back to Epson because of a Fine Art paper and CD/DVD print feed problem. I got lucky I have 2 weeks left on my original 1 year warranty. Anyway I was told by Epson to send the R3000...

I have the R3000 and now using Inkjet Fly Pigments inks and I haven't encountered any bronzing on 2 - 7x10 photos I just printed out using Epson Glossy paper. Andrew

I have the Epson R3000 and I changed one vendors refillable inks and carts to another vendors inks and used the first vendors carts. Every thing went smooth I thought I had to flush out the carts before I could put the new inks in. What I did was shake out all the ink I could from the carts and...

I just ordered a set of R3000 Inkjet Fly inks that I'm just going to add to my existing Inkjet Mall carts that still has Inkjet Mall inks in them without flushing them out. If it's a bust I'll accept it, no big deal. Or I get a chance to try another Venders refillable inks with my Inkjet Mall...

I have the R3000 that I use refillable carts and inks. I also installed a Ink Waste Tank on my R3000 and I'm aware of the WIC Reset Utility. I asked a question on another Printer Forum basically asking what happens to all the Waste Ink? The basic answer was that it either evaporates or...

I have the R3000 and I installed the June 2, 2011 firmware update AS27B4 around the 2nd week of June 2011 while I was still using OEM Epson inks. In Dec of last year I started using Cone inks and refillable carts. I also reinstalled the R3000 printer drivers about 3 or 4 times for one reason or...

As per my original post as to flushing out my present refillable carts so I can fill them with a different refillable ink. I've come to the conclusion it would be a bad idea, for me anyway. Yesterday I made an attempt to try and empty one of my carts first with a syringe and then just looking...

Thank you for your input. Pigment inks may act a little different than Dye inks. Thanks again Andrew
