IIRC the sponge it self holds only 20% of the ink (2.6ml). The final countdown is likely in the 5% range or so at best (.65ml). You would have to buy more than 20 cartridges to get a full cartridge based on my estimates, or 5 cartridges that hit their low ink warning. I'm not trying to...

I agree, 220 euro for a used 1290 is a tad steep, but we are not talking about just a 1290, we're talking about a 1290 with a CIS. I don't know the going rate of CIS systems. I see many listed at $100, others closer to $40. So let's say 50 euros. It may include ink, and it might be dye...

Ultimately this is your choice. I'm pleased with my second hand 1280, but paid nothing for it. If I needed to print banners, I personally would consider a used 1280 if it was $100 or less. In my neck of the woods I can get the 1520 for $50 or less used, and the 1280 floats at about $50 to...

http://www.trustedreviews.com/printers/review/2008/08/11/HP-OfficeJet-Pro-K8600-A3--Inkjet-Printer/p1 It's a tad tough finding you you need from HP For laughs I checked the prices on A2 printers, and the new ones start at $1000 Euros. This doesn't exclude the possibility of a used a2 printer.

I do have direct experience with the 1280. The obvious benefit is it supports rolls out of the box. While and older printer, Epson heads are not prone to burn out like thermal ones. There is an issue with waste ink and it eventually becoming full. I'm unsure if this offer would include a...

Well you already ordered the ip3300. It's lower resolution than the ip4200/4300/4500 but I know many people on the ip3000 and the like that are perfectly pleased with it. I don't know what region you are in but the Canon AIOs are pretty reasonable in price as well, though now that it's...

I don't know these chips. I do know how the Canon acts though. Canon will meter the ink, until the ink level reaches the prism, then the 10% countdown starts. You can circumvent this and add ink before you reach the sponge, but eventually when the print value gets too high it'll presume the...

Righto, this is the point where I have to correct my self. The Epson Photo Stylus 1270/1280/1290 supported rolls out of the box. The 1400 clearly does not. This was clearly a silly assumption based on the fact that the 1400 was next in the Photo Stylus line. The 1400 supports the same max...

I have an Epson 1280. It's an older model but it doesn't really have an issue with clogging and I don't use it daily. I have had to clean it once using Windex and alcohol per Arthur Entlich 's instructions. There are clogging issues on their low priced consumer models. It's less of an...

Your logic makes sense. Keep in mind that at least on the ip5200 of mine, I've observed that you can refill them before they hit "low" and continue to fill them and either 1) get the warning when the ink exposes the prism 2) get the warning after print exceeds a certain amount What I'm...

Yes, they are pretty good. The deal on the mp500 though, that's a referb. the mp530 from buy.com isn't and the price includes shipping. What was it $100-$103? Cool deal on the mp970, though makes one wonder if one should shell out the moolah upfront and get the low price without a rebate...

Do keep in mind that the MP830 is like the ip4300/ip5200 in the fact that it has only the 1pl, 5pl, and text sized heads (20pl IIRC). I was going to say the mp830 was onsale for $151 on buy.com, but it just jumped up in price to $228.99 The mp530 still onsale for $105 shipped...
