    Does ink clog in brass tubes?

    I also put a silicone hose inside the tank (from the end of the brass tube to the bottomof the tank) and always kept a liquid level high enough to prevent drying. I'm 100% shure that this has nothing to do with drying out. I think the chemical reaction, as pharmacist described, is the reason...

    Which refillable cartridges for epson?

    I dare to ask again ;) are there any refillable cartridges which can be reset from the user? For example when they were refilled when they were still 50% full. Can the original chips be removed, put on the refillable cartridges and be reset by a resetter. Or can original epson cartridges be...

    Which refillable cartridges for epson?

    My reply wasn't meant as an offend and on a first view of the small pictures they look very the same. And not everyone rips off the lable to look at at internals. :cool: I have a set of cartridges from you. I have problems of inserting the rubber plug of the vent hole. At about 70% depth the...

    OCP - PIGMENT INK for Epson R2400

    B&W on Canon Printers

    Mikling you showed excellent BW Prints! But is there any need for a special printing software? How can the grey shade be exact when the printer thinks to use Cyan but there is a grey ink in the cyan cartridge? So the grey ramp on your test print looks fine but I don't understand why.

    cleaner for dried pigmented ink

    Ho quite some echo ;-), it is an alcalic soap not an oven spray for burnt residues. It is a professional cleaner for gastronomy. Of corse they do not recommend it to use it as cosmetic ;-) I often used it without gloves and never had any skin irritations, but certainly it is better to avoid...

    Inktec ink fading :(

    I made the same experience with Inktec bulk ink. They fade away within weeks, although gave me good results when profiled. The german computer magasine ct just published a test about third party inks (german language) http://www.heise.de/kiosk/archiv/ct/2010/18/118/ for longevity the gave...
