No excuse needed. I just need to figure out the best decision here. Today is my list day to return and I don't know much about printers especially laser and I don't want to get stuck with a bad printer. And if it's not, I gotta figure out how to stop it from wasting ink and paper with this spots...
And it gets hot pretty easy. I'm printing artwork/graphics to postcards and it seems black or darker shades trigger this more than anything else but not all the time. Sometimes the spots are concentrated around horizontal lines. But the consistent thing is the heat.
Isn't this normal and...
So far I'm finding compatible replacements for around $45. Can it be cheaper, per page, refilling pigment ink cartridges?
So apparently you can refill these things...
Wow, that's awesome to hear. You guys are getting me all worked up for this printer lol. Is the 100 one basically the same? Edit: ah, I see. Pigment ink. That's advanced technology for me. I'll look into that. Apparently that gets everyone excited.
And ciss is not the best option I gather? Just...
I have not. I'm still debating. I've got a laser jet I just purchased which I can return for this but I'm researching which would be cheaper, so I have to look into cheaper alternatives for ink/toner replacement.
Yes, I found the thread in this forum. Still trying to figure out how it gets down to $100 + shipping, if it's still available.

And yes, I got...
Thanks. I don't have an inkjet anymore. I now have an HP laser jet M452nw and have not looked into compatible cartridges.
I still have time tho to return it and opt for an inkjet if I determine it to be more economical. And I think it was mentioned in this forum recently there is a great deal...
In the last 10 days I've printed maybe 200 postcards of opaque artwork on one side and am down to 2 x 70% and 2 x 80% for the four toner levels. At this rate with the price of toner, it's going to get expensive.
So I'm wondering if either there is a refilling method or comparable cheaper...
Cool. It all depends on your specific needs I guess. I don't need the highest quality prints, tho I gotta say this laser im getting, HP M452nw can punch out some brilliant looking prints reliably and fast enough onto fat 12pt cardstock on the side with this coating that ink just sits on top of...
Thanks. That's good to know. At this moment I've returned the Epson but only to try out a laser printer which if doesn't work put for some reason I'll reconsider but the other day I was running out the house and forgot to print something, so I go to print it and there were faded line through the...

"I have a ciss system with this and it works alright so far. Getting all nozzles clear and flowing can take a bit of work initially in my experience. I have firmware version PL20H1 and auto reset chips have successfully reset once so far. My research left me unsure...

Any thoughts on this kit for the Epson? It's just one of the first that came up. I imagine there a few different brands. No chip resetter needed?
Thanks again. Okay, as the Canon has the same type of sponge cartridge that in itself wouldn't warrant the upgrade from the Epson I now have. But you said refills would be easy enough. Would this also be true of my Epson's 277 cartridges? Either way how do you determine this?
Laser printers...
Thank you. Yeah, that's the one. I believe the "12pt" is the one that matters being the actual thickness, you may know different, but it makes sense as my paper is about that, 11-13, pacon stated 11pt, I've measured up to 13 I believe. They vary a bit. There was a little crease in the paper even...
Thanks. This is all pretty new to me. So what is the alternative to sponge and are there cons to it also? I'll have to research that.
That Epson 1500 is a bit pricey though. I have seen a video or two for CISS systems for my printer so it appears possible. What about the Canon pro-100?
I don't...
I'm pretty new to all this. I've used a refill kit with my old cheap HP 3632 which uses the two 63 cartridges and it was a waste. I'm sure I did something wrong but somehow it ended up regardless of the level of ink the print heads would just dry up. Maybe it my use of rubbing alcohol to clean...
