I was wondering if anybody was already running 3.0 and had seen any problems with refilling carts after the update. I realize that things may not work out exactly the same unless you are using 3.0 on an 8220. However if folks are using it without issue, I think I would risk it and assume I can...

Has anybody recorded the required volume of ink needed to refill the dye ink and the pigment ink tanks in this series from: 1) completely empty 2) from the point where the low ink warning message comes on Has anybody recorded the total weight for the dye ink and pigment ink tanks in this series...

Well at first I thought there was a chance I was overreacting. My Artisan 837 started blotching light magenta and then would not recognize the OEM light magenta cartridge. Did a head cleaning which cleared up the blotching but figured this was the beginning of the end. Quickly bought a Canon...

Have a new MG8220 and have been using an Epson Artisan 837 for about a year. Starting to have some issues with the 837 which prompted the 8220 buy. Figured I better get one while I could. Now when I first got the 837 I was going to go all in on cart refilling. Two things stopped me: The...

Now that my Epson Artisan 837 is showing signs that it is about to go into failure mode I was rally caught in a quandary. What to do? Get a refurb 837? Get a printer out of the current generation of printers (seemingly never a good thing to do)? So I decided to snag an MG8220 before there were...

I have watched with interest how users tend to accept each new generation of consumer grade printer. Of late each generation seems to be cheaper than the last but with associated reductions in quality. If you look at the reviews of the Artisan series, the older printers in the series almost...

I know this post is going to sound so mundane to you power user. But I left the black ink cartridge in my printer when I got the first low ink indicator. I had a set of Epson cartridges just sitting there so I was not going to do I CISS or anything like that. However I am just staggered by the...

I asked a similar question in the epson forum but then figured this is a better spot to ask. Has anybody purchased two carts per color keeping one cart filled in inventory and ready to go when the one that is in the printer starts reporting low? That way you just take out a cart that has already...

I just read a recommendation from one of the refill ink and cart suppliers. They commented that one thing worth considering was to have a back up cart for each color their waiting so that instead of refilling the exact cart that has just reported low ink to the printer, you just pull that one...

Usually I research before making purchasing decisions and generally make a choice that I am confident is at least not a bad decision. I have to admit, while I am working at it, I am going through a phase where I am pretty stumped. I do enough printing with an artisan 837 to make either a...

I have an Epson 837. I have looked at a number of posts and done a few searches here trying to gain an understanding for the dye based inks for this printer. I know that Claria ink is the branded Epson ink so it is only available in Epson cartridges. There are many threads that focus on CISS...
