    Epson R340 generic ink compatibility

    I am no expert but I agree with mikling, I observe the conditions stated above and if sealing is a problem consider hot melt, a low temperature type, I use it to seal my refilled carts, and I stress, always have a good back up set of carts. Never, never leave an Epson without a good head of ink...

    Epson R380: How do I refill cartridges?

    Funny you mentioned vacuum, My supplier "Inkbank" sent me a vacuum syringe it has an internal cylinder. It is supposed to fill all the cracks and crannies in my Epson's ink tanks. I have found that a thin needle injecting the ink very very slowly avoids bubbles and fills the cartridge just the...

    Getting carts with print heads to work

    I would be interested to track down a factory reset for my machine. The printer repairers guard this procedure which I believe is an illegal act. What if you were not allowed to put air in your tires. My Epson has 4 ink tanks no sponge and after the chip has been reset the monitor works...

    Getting carts with print heads to work

    That's the right model available in Oz. there is a 6 colour version too. I also replied to your email. I selected it because the monitor would not fail when using a chip re setter. It can probably be said that others are better but there is always a trade off. Terry

    Epson R380: How do I refill cartridges?

    I chose an Epson for two reasons their colour reproduction and the fact that they can produce photos with 4 colours that takes up to 6 on others also my model scans transparencies. But this thread is about faulty cartridges. I have 4 carts that I refill and a chip resetter does work and The...

    Protecting HP carts

    When removing the carts from printers like the HP720c place a strip of thin plastic between the head contacts and those of the printers. There is a tendancy of the pins on the printer cutting in to those on the cart destroying the contact between them. The plasti strip pushes the spring...

    Getting carts with print heads to work

    After using various cleaning methods to unclog the carts, I resorted to centrifugal force. I placed each cart with the head sitting in a pad of tissue soaked in metho placed in a plastic bag. This I twisted up and swung in circles. The force applied to the ink plus the softening of the clogged...

    CLI-8 Cartridges, How does the chip really monitor ink?

    Update, one of my astute forum members has found that the trigger program that detects a printout and the control key presses is consuming 50% cpu usage. I use Autohotkey for this and as the script file no problem but as the compiled version it does. Ain't life grand. There is the possibility...

    Setting up a waste ink tank on a Epson R380?

    I have a RX530 and will do the mod. I am worried when I get the waste tank warning as it is not supported on the ssc forum yet. I do not want to have to pay to get a bit of felt replaced or cleaned. Is there a key press combination on these printers that will work. I have the refill thing down...

    CLI-8 Cartridges, How does the chip really monitor ink?

    As I have already replied to you. For others I want it known that the 4 colour version will always be free for home use. I intend to make 4 + colour versions commercial mainly to pay for web hosting. I am using free hosting at the moment and it is very restrictive. I do not want to tie up this...

    CLI-8 Cartridges, How does the chip really monitor ink?

    The information could be stored in the registry. but if the monitor is inaccurate so to would be the result. I do not have a canon but if information does exist there in any form it would not be hard to extract it and give the result after a correction factor, displaying it on demand or when the...

    CLI-8 Cartridges, How does the chip really monitor ink?

    Hi all I am the author of the Inkmon project. I created it principally for my old but a goodie HP720c. When it showed promise I placed it on the web and started a forum to get feedback. The first versions up to 1.5 were a bit inaccurate. So with the assistance of one canon owner giving me...
