Yup, LD products and services are terrible. Their prices are not cheap either. Make sure to buy encapsulated ink to minimize clog and allowing the pigment ink to suspense longer. I like OEM best and only use OEM. I do not care about expired inks especially if they are in sealed-design OEM bags.

I am glad it is working out for you! I guess I am guilty of the sin of hoarding more than printing lol! Btw, perhap on a seperate thread, I am very interested on your thoughts/experiences on the WF-7840 with precisoncore printhead considering you have two unit. Though refillable...
I do not have experience with SC-P800 but I bought mine chipless firmware for my workforce through chiplessolutions and it works well though it no longer tracks ink level and remains full at all time. Unsure on how it will behave on P800. On P800, chipless is the cheap way to go! Save those...
Would you please share how your Maxify MB printhead is giving you trouble? I am new to the Maxify MB series and very happy with it considering I bought a used unit. I am considering buying more spare printheads. Walmart in US is having MB2720 for $130. The Maxify keeps it heads clean like...
See this post attachment is my best quality I can get with aftermarket with minor horizontal tear.

I tried refilling and it just too messy and no good way for these newer toner cartridges to plug-up the hole after you...
Laser printer performance are based on the quality of your toner/drum. From my experience with MF-634CDW, I had waited about 5 years before aftermarket toner get decent quality but still not perfect. Expect 1-3 lines of screen tear or toner leak in IBT. Messy to clean up! My cartridge is...
Yes, usually I can speed this up by inject/prime the pharmacist formula into the ink chamber prior to installing the cartridges. I strongly believe the other issue with this is there is not enough head pressure especially from aftermarket cartridge that requires priming. I have pretty good...
Are you looking for printhead with pressure activated spray instead electronic activated? Imo, most of Epson Workforce printhead partial failure are from electronic failure and not because of nozzle plug. If this is what you need, I do have some to give away. You will have to pay for...
I always overfill because ink is cheap :-). Usually, I let it overfill and put in storage. With everything sealed and vent taped off. I only let it drip out prior to install into the printer and open the tape on vent. Yes, my sponge is stored with excess. I figure this is a good thing to...
Yup, you are correct! I got the 2 printhead. One is 100% clog and the other is 90% clogged. Damn "reputable" seller. Gonna give it a clean and try it again! My optimism really taken a hit lol. Good thing the Maxify is so reliable. Tested cheap refillable carts and did a few clean cycles (5...
For the sponge, it looked like normal with the typical nozzle imprinted. I would say it looked like any other color in term of wetness. On going forward, I am going do the drip test by taking out the top filling hole to see drip performance.
For reconditioning/washing the sponge, I know they...
It was a dud purchase of 252XL cartridge on Ebay: they send me cart with priming chamber. It does not match listing. Inkowl has no prime cartridges so I just ordered from them.
In addition, I also ordered a set of Maxify cartridge too because they are sealed/pressurize design with no priming...
I do not know what GASP means. So you would like cartridges with sponges that are still wet and has been capped at ink extraction port to prevent dirt accumulation? With this request, I would recommend contact the ebay seller directly or get in touch with your local listing poster. With the...
For 7720 and 7620, they do not make it anymore. WF-7720/7710 translate to WF-7840/7820 respectively: the numbering changes for some reason. You can get 7720/7620 easily on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. Most likely the printhead is clogged and unrecoverable. I am buying a few printhead...
Yes, that is correct. You can hear the USB disconnect and reconnect. See the attachment for device manager detection while in service mode. For the Pro-100, this happens with 4 times with the stop/resume button. I am 100% sure is not 5 times! 5 times it just sit there and does nothing: no...
Picard is within the States. The shipping from UK to US is pretty high imo.
If you want cheap price route but you will have to mod and clean. You will have to do this sooner or later so I suggest starting with it to get best quality! I recommend refill German method after mod/cleaning: I...
Smile, how long ago did this happened to you? Also, I recommend to stay with Paypal to avoid issue. Eventhough they were under one umbrella, Paypal has been fair for me. Amazon and Ebay is the two primary market for me. Aliexpress and local listings are alternatives.

Epson cartridge has not been modifiable since the last decade unless you have the Pro series with ink bag. You only option is aftermarket with Epson. You are welcome to explore and teach us on your success or failure. From my research, WF-7840 has no...
