Hello Cline, I had the same problem with my ET-7700 which is the A4 model of the ET-7750. I had rather large smears of black ink at my photo's, I solved this by cleaning the square part of your photo 4720 with a piece of folded kitchenpaper. To reach this square you must swich on the printer...

I sometimes have the same probleem with my ET-7700, some black spots on my prints. I solve this by unplug the printer with the maincord when the printhead is moving, I can move the printhead then by hand to the leftside and clean the pad at the right side with kitchenpaper, this works very...

I strongly advise you the Epson ink, I used Inktec ink before in an Epson XP-422 and since almost a year now I use an Epson ET 7700 with inkttanks. The Epson ink nrs 105 pigment Black and the 106 photo Black, cyan, yellow and magenta is much much better than the Inktec inks for fading. I did put...

Here are already the first resuls of my primitive but practical fade test.Now at fridaymorning after 4 days in the southeast window of which 3 days were very Sunny with high temperatures, and yesterday cloudy with low temps and a lot of rain I saw the following results: Epson K3 ink : No...

You are right not to change more than one parameter at the same time, I now am retired as a mechanical engineer and during my job I never changed more than one thing at the same time. The gloss of the dye inks indeed is better than the gloss of the pigment inks, but as I only print A4`s or A3`s...

As I wrote this morning I printed an A4 with good result using the matte paper trick, and according to the supplier of the Inktec ink all 4 inks are dye inks. And I cleaned one of the two yellow rifill carts with demiwater to be ready for the 106 ink. Cleaning the refill cart was very difficult...

I use for the XP-422 already two sets of refillable carts with Inktec dye inks including the black. So this morning I printed a A4 photo of the skyline of Rotterdam using your trick of printing on glossy paper but the driver set at matte paper. First I performed some tests at 10x15 cm to find...

Thanks Inkstained fingers, You are right concerning the amount of ink, in total 920ml. I bougt two years ago a set of pigment refill ink for the R3000, in total 900ml for about € 120 the colours were almost fine, only a small refinement in the settings was necessary but the bronzing was notebly...

Hello Ink Stained Fingers, I am in a luxury position having also an Epson R3000 which means that I can already print even A3 +. But I will think about your repeat concerning the ET-7750, there should even be the possibility to sell both the XP-422 as well as the R3000. But I can imaging...

Hello Ink Stained fingers, Thanks very much for you quick and very clear answer. I now am thinking to buy the ET-7700 and sale the XP-422 with two sets of refillable carts and some 40 ml of each colour. Thanks again, Kees

Hello Forummembers, Anybody of you know the differences of the Ecotank inks for the printers ET-2650; ET-2750 and ET-7700 ? I know that the connection of the bottles is different prevending to put the wrong colours in the tanks but only at the newer models. I am wondering if the colours maybe...

Hello PeterBJ and Stratman, I was working tonight at the problem, cleaning the Timing Strip, dismounting the printhead and cleaning it with water with a bit of ammonium and remounting it. Nothing helped but I still can use the printer by always setting the paper falsely at photopaper glossy...

Hello Stratman, Thanks very much for your quick answer. Indeed I ment Head Alignment and I used both manners. The printhead is the original Canon which came with the printer when I bought it. The cartridges are refillable ones made in China filled with Inktec ink. Till last week the printer...

Goodevening members, may I ask you if you can help me with a very strange behaviour of the MG 5550 which my granddoughters use for schoolwork when printing text on just normal paper. Most of the lines are affected with letters which are a bit shifted in horizontal position for about half a...

Well that is right but putting the Ecoinks in eg a XP 332 save you at least € 200.
