Thanks Martin and I have looked at your very interesting site. I am almost never bored by anything to do with printing. I'm just another printer hack but I do have a love for messing with them and really enjoy it when I get some of the beautiful prints they turn out. My biggest problem is...

Forgot to add the fact that as long as you are using like with like the inks should not be a problem. So if the printer comes with dye based, use dye based refillable or if it comes with Pigment ink use refillable Cartridges with pigment inks. Again, go to the ink supplier site and they will...

Don't know about that particular model Epson but most refillable Cartridge people tell you to be sure to run the original OEM carts and then. after they get down to where they are going to need replacement, switch over to the refillable Cartridges. Hope that helps. You might spend some time...

Good for you, everything is easy when you know how Huh! LOL! Outoftheinkwell!

It's been days since I have seen any replies about the subject of Counters in Epson printers which I find a little surprising considering how many people I've talked to in the past that have expressed a dislike of the policy that shuts down their printers. Guess it's not as big a problem as I...

hello again. I just was thinking. With all the printer people in here It seems like it would be a great opportunity to put our heads together and pin down the very best solutions to this printer shut down situation. I for one am going after all the information I can find and will sure share the...

All good advice my friend. I'm sorry I left some of the details out, I actually have had a waste ink tank installed from the very beginning so the pads are not soaked at all. As for the RATF chip I usually don't have to reset it as it seems to reset itself normally but since I have this red ink...

Hello! I use Claria type ink from a third party supplier and Costco Pro Photo Glossy Photo Paper which is just under nineteen dollars for 150 sheets and that combination seems to work great for our full color prints on our Epson 1400. We have had some of those prints for over 5 years with no...

My wife's Epson 1400 Stylus printer has done thousands of beautiful full color prints and she really loves it. I realized after we bought the printer that I would soon be in the poor house paying for all those ink cartridges but I found out about ciss systems and that really saved the day. I...

This is after reading the comments by Manuchau about Canon shooting themselves in the foot. I could not agree more. I do understand in the real world that the profit margin is king for any company but in the end I've always thought that a fair shake is the key to customer loyalty in the long...

Hi Mr. Slade. My question is about my i960 printer. I bought it several years ago after reading about how good they are on your excellent web site and I must totally agree with you. For our purpose,( My wife is an art teacher), it has been perfect. We have printed thousands of wonderful...

My thanks to Lilla for good advice and prompt answers. First of all I did get my new canon ip6000d to turn out some very good prints. I had no success with my old HP Semi-gloss paper and everything was turning out mottled and grainy looking. Shadows in faces looked like dirt specks instead of...

No need to apologize to me Trigger. I'm 72 and I agree with you 100%. Things indeed have gotten way too complex and the games that are played with the customer in the interests of the bottom line are at times, disheartening to say the least! Whenever I find a company or sales source or a repair...

Me??? Get a lexmark...never LOL I only mentioned lexmark because I was laughing about the ink cart costing more than a whole new printer. I love canons...and just bought a new( Old) in the box Pixma ip6000d because I can use the same carts . My old I960 will get all the TLC I can give it and...

My Canon i960 prints all colors except magenta. I have cleaned the printhead with the usual software program and also by removing the head and running warm water over it, letting it dry and blowing it out with a can of compressed air. Same results...no magenta. Do you think it is time for a new...

This might be a silly question but! What is the best way to store FULL Ink Carts? I have 50 or more and they are all laying on their sides. Is this ok or would it be better to stand them up in the same position they will be, IN the Printer..Thanks....Regards from outoftheinkwell.

Hi Fellow Inksters. Been reading and learning from you guys. I never knew how much is really going on in my old printer. I have two oldies ..an HP cse960 still cranking after 6 years and a Canon i960 which I dearly love...except it just started smearing magenta all over our expensive photo paper...

I have had some problems with my old Canon i960 which uses individual BCI-6 Cartridges so I looked at Canon printers on their company site and have been trying to figure out if I need another printer head or not. Anyway, I see that Canon has gone over to color Cartridges that have all the colors...
