    Epson xp-960 giving phantom paper jam error message

    Hi all! I have brought my Epson Expressions xp-960 out of summer hibernation. hehe I WAS experimenting with using it for sublimation printing and decided it was not best suited for that. So, I had switched the cartridges back over to the original Epson carts and printed a few test sheets on...

    What 4-colour desktop can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent printer?

    I do see a couple of indications on the web, including a BnH Photo Video answered question, that eco-tank printers are eco-solvent.

    What 4-colour desktop can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent printer?

    I think that was just a LEAD-IN to the article... JUST BEFORE printer #1 it says, "All the printers on this list use eco-solvent ink.".

    What 4-colour desktop can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent printer?

    Huh!? 🤔 I hadn't had a chance to go though that page yet (I'm at work and the boss is around). I don't get it either.

    What 4-colour desktop can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent printer?

    EDIT: I guess that I should add the distinction of "ECO"-solvent ink. I just now found this: https://mindseteco.co/eco-solvent-printer/

    What 4-colour desktop can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent printer?

    At work, I print with both, a large-format Roland solvent printer and a large-format Mimaki solvent printer. When the cartridges are "empty" they still have about an ounce of ink left in them. Are there any 4-colour desktop printers that can use the remnant ink from my large-format solvent...

    Something Odd ..

    Hey there T.H. MY experience is that this is "overspray" caused by a head that is dying. (kind of like metal spatter that occurs with Flux-Core Welding if you know that process) In my situation, a Roland, which has two heads, Black & Cyan shared and Yellow & Magenta shared, the Black and Cyan...

    black and white printing without using color inks?

    There's an issue with printing only black that many people don't realize... IF you just wish to print text, that would be fine and I would suggest that you take up The Hat's suggestion and get a cheap HP or Brother LED/Laser printer (which use "toner")... Mine was a $108 and I never have to...

    very large font when second printer is connected

    This part is particularly confusing, Paul. Why is the Epson printout interrupted? And why would you assume that just switching to a second printer would be okay or even work? As far as how printers receive instructions from computers, THAT MAY be the issue here. Epsons and HPs aren't going to...

    Epson ET-8550 EcoTank All-In-One A3+ Photo Printer

    They should go back to using good, old fashioned cams and relays in washing machines, for awhile! 😂🤣

    Fade-resistant bulk ink options for XP15000 (what combination)

    I've had good results with Precision Colors, a Canadian company that has a depot in the US for shipping. The owner, Mike, is very picky. precisioncolors.com

    Photo printing colors

    hmmmm... Because it seems to print correctly when the printer THINKS it is printing on PLAIN paper, BUT NOT when printing a photo on photo paper, this SOOOUUUUNDS like it could be a "Double Colour Management" issue. Do you have an Epson Printer Driver selected to manage colours in "Printers" but...

    What is the best sticker Vinyl for solvent ink?

    Cheers! I hope it helps.

    I'm an old hat at printing but I'm not "The Hat"!

    hehe... My long-time girlfriend is Irish American. (Maybe THAT's why I'm "stuck" in Michigan!) 🤔😶😶😶 And, of course, YESTERDAY I was Irish! ;-)

    What is the best sticker Vinyl for solvent ink?

    I'm a large-format printing technician who uses a Roland "solvent" printer. If you are just printing small stickers keep in mind that THIN material MAY require you to put Application Tape over it so that it is easier to apply without being floppy (heavy applications of ink can make the vinyl...
