    Should I Convert Wf-3540 From Pigment -> Dye Ink? Is It Safe?

    Hi everyone, I have been happily printing on my WF-3540 for a few months now. I have been using Precision Colors Epson Pigment ink with inkjetcarts "RATF" "damper chip" refillable cartridges. It has been working (for the most part) great but a few headaches. The cartridges themselves seem much...

    Am I screwed - New Epson automatically updated firmware at install?

    I just installed a new WF-3540 printer, and while the option to upgrade the firmware came up, I was able to hit Accept or Decline, it did not update automatically. Now, I am using a Mac so that might be a difference. But I have never heard of a company automatically installing firmware updates...

    Cut Canon printer to install CISS?? (to avoid leaving lid open?)

    I like the Canon printer a whole lot more than an Epson. I like how the Canon's paper catcher automatically flips down and catches the pages (might not seem like a big deal but when the printer is in another room it is!) and the Epson's paper catcher is just awful and flimsy. Feels like it is...

    Cut Canon printer to install CISS?? (to avoid leaving lid open?)

    Thanks for the reply TheHat. I mean this with no disrespect, but this is kind of what I was talking about! I know the option of refilling, and I know that running a CISS with a Canon is not the best solution as well. We are willing to take the risk of the CIS, we understand this. I was just...

    Cut Canon printer to install CISS?? (to avoid leaving lid open?)

    Hello everyone, I have done tons of research on the topic I am about to discuss but cannot seem to find a solid answer. First off, I know Canon CIS is not the optimal choice. A CIS is a must, I am a university student with 3 others and we print LOTS of powerpoints. A laser printer would be...
