Sure, It's possible to get some bad ink but not if you stay with a supplier with a good track record. Do some research. I don't know about HP printers but I've used a third party ink supplier for 3 years and my Epson is still printing great full color prints and I have yet to get a clogged head...

Epson slow? That has not been my experience since I set up my Artisan 725. I Print full color photographs 8x11 1/2 in under a minute all the time. And the photographs are all excellent. I do find that I need to tweek some pictures more than others which is normal given the fact that the printer...

Glad to be of service and Happy Printing!

OK! That explains it it's an 837 I thought I was missing something there for awhile! Many companies provide excellent CIS systems these day, I personally use Inkjetcarts but others are good and many have a ton of good instructional videos available. As for firmware problems, Epson is of course...

I've been looking for an Epson 827 but most queries on that number take me to the Artisan 837 model. Did Epson make a 827 or is this a model number that is changed to reflect a different country? Is this printer the same as a model 837? Even U-Tube does not seem to show one.

Artisan 827? Is that like an Artisan 837? I see the 837 listed as having a damper/chip set available for $39.95 with 120 MIL bottles of ink at $5.50 each. I think all the Artisans use the same kit and I know my Artisan 725 does. I'm using that set up with good results and zero problems so far. I...

Ah!, So many printers, so little time!

Yeah! I wonder if squirting a little windex in my ear would clear up my brain clog?

See How much we can learn from each other. All good information. Mikling's comment about high use of a printer might make a piezo head a good choice hit the mark for us because we print a great deal, and jtoolman's comments as always were a fine overview of both types of techknowledgy. Good to...

I started printing using the thermal heads that push inks using heat but then switched over to Piezo heads that use electric pulses that create the tiny bits of inks that are spit onto the paper and are not hot. I have come to believe personally that the piezo heads are more trouble free and...

I have an Artisan 725 so we're talking about "Claria" type dye based inks and 6 colors right? I'm sure there are a lot of excellent inks that will do the job, as for me, I have been using inks from InkJetCarts with excellent results, but I recommend you find a source that you personally like for...

Given the money I've saved over the last 3 years with a refurbished Epson 1400 and the amount of prints we have done,( thousands) and are still doing on that same printer I know that I could have bought 50 or more printers for what I paid and still have money left over! Needless to say, I love...

Yes, It works like a charm, can't ask for more then that! Right now though, I'm using the new damper/chip combo set up and the dampers are easy to refill via a flip top refill hole. There is an O ring and the top seals well with just a little finger pressure! I do have to watch the levels...

That comment about saving enough money to buy another printer is the key for me. I have an Epson but figure I have saved enough money on inks ( OEM VS third party) to pay for dozens ( at least) of brand new printers. The OEM inks are simply priced so high that it is ridiculous as far as I am...

I use it and at the moment have almost a thousand sheets sitting behind me. I have no idea where it comes from aside that Costco sells it but I do know that I love using it and I get the results I want from it. ok!, I just picked up one box and it says (Made In Mexico) on the product! It is...

Got an Artisan 725? I bought 3 of them when they were going for 100 bucks, ( about the cost of 6 OEM cartridges) and so far the first one is proving to be a very nice machine for the money. One reason I bought it is that my wife is using an Epson 1400 which does a very nice job with it's 6 color...

I just filled two 6 ink cartridge printers a few minutes ago and it took about 15 minutes. I do like the CIS systems with the bottles and tubes but I have to say the damper cartridges with the flip top covers are easy to use and I get almost no ink on my fingers and I don't use gloves. Just pop...

Will let you know when and if it happens before the year is over! Call it a prediction!

Ok! I'm talked out of that one, guess I'll just wait for the new firmware I hear about that will eliminate chips in cartridges. It was only a brain storm anyway and the sun's out now!

The Hat wrote. "Why would you want to use this waste ink anyway, sure the ink is cheap enough in the first place.." My answer is the same Hillary gave when asked why he climbed Mt. Everest." "Because it's there"! Just something cool, ( to me), about the idea of throw away ink put to good...
