fotofreek: those aren't the instructions that came with the kit from computer friends. Those instructions were to either punch a hole through the refill hole in the bottom of the cart and seal with the blue tape or punch a hole in the upper corner and use a blue plug attached to tape. Neither...

I'm confused. The fillhole and vent location in the pdf instructions don't correspond to the yellow ink chambers in the other link. I've taken a T048x apart and it looks like the insides of the one in the link. I've read other instructions to create a fill-hole in the upper corner near the...

Hi jagans. Doesn't seem to be much traffic here, so I'll jump in. I'm wondering the same as you whether other printers can match the photo quality of epsons. I have an r220 and am wowed by the quality (though I've nothing to compare it). I've been reading a lot of reviews, and they typically...

Fano - sorry to be posting so much, but since you have an ip3000 and r200, which has better photo quality? My r220, despite ink costs etc., certainly seems excellent to me, but I've no way to compare.

Ok... I see you can get the dvd tray for the canon's from ebay, and the user reviews for the ip4000 on amazon are glowing. Not that I still don't think my epson r220 is great... but if there's an even better printer I'm interested -- not just for myself, but I was _going_ to get another r220...

Fano -- Thanks... I didn't know there was such a big difference in ink usage and cost. But, for the epson's, why not use the readily available chip resetter, and refill the oem carts? At least that'd be cheap, unless it'd be hard to even get 3rd party ink in Europe. Of course refilling is...

Here's their link for silicone o-rings: http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/ORBK,%20ORB,%20MORB.cfm And for ptfe (teflon) o-rings: http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/ort.cfm The silicone ones are cheap... like $5 or so for a hundred of the smaller diameter ones. The...

Am looking for screws and o-rings in the US... here's what I'm finding: nylon 10-32 and various sizes: http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/mn-f.cfm They have lots of o-rings too... silicone and ptfe... not sure which would be best or what size to get offhand though. Prices look...

boco779: Get an epson r220. If you're in the US, it's the only series that I know of that can print on cd/dvd's. You can also read my review of it in this forum. It prints great. It's incredibly cheap (don't buy the more expensive in the series... the 300's... why pay more? ... this has the...

I forgot to add... the chip resetter for the epson r220 carts... little explanation except to match the pins on the resetter to the cart and look for the light to blink slowly. But the carts don't _fit_ the resetter... there's no guide or placeholder for them... you have to just touch the cart...

Here's my experience with computer friends ( http://inkjet.cfriends.com/ ) jet-master refill kit for the epson R220 printer: 1. The instructions are incomplete. There's _no_ explanation of what to do with a black kind-of punch thing; no explanation for what to do with some screw thing; no...

Hi... am new and sharing my built up experience from the last several weeks w/ my new epson r220 inkjet. I wanted to make some dvd inserts: 1. Memorex DVD inserts (abt. $15 for 25) suk. Stay away! I spent a lot of time designing an insert, and when I printed out on this memorex crap it...

Hi all -- just registered and and want to make a few posts to share info. I recently bought an Epson R220 inkjet, which is sold everywhere it seems for about $99 and I have nothing but praise for it. In fact I'm buying another for my gf, and have made it a point to tell co-workers and family...
