I've been having printer problems for several years and guess that I need to learn more. Most of my printing is paper and photos, but an occasional DVD (maybe 10/year). I had an HP 5250 and was totally satisfied with it until it quit a couple of years ago. I got the Epson 610 and though not...

Looking for an all-in-one in the $>150 range. I had an HP 5250 that served me well for about 6 years but quit. I replaced it with an Epson 610 that worked okay for a little more than a year. But the ink cost appears to be very high with the 5 cartridges needed. It has been giving me...

Your logic makes sense. I never saw a blockage. But when I removed the duplexer and looked with a flashlight at the paper path - then reassembled the printer - the duplexer now works. I also fiddled with the gears and springed thingys. Whatever happened, it fixed the problem. Thanks. Lee

Printer copies fine. Prints one-sided fine. But every try on 2-sided printing the paper jams. I've removed the duplexer a dozen times, replaced the paper at different quantities, and looked inside the printer and duplexer with a flashlight. Everything looks fine. Why is the paper getting...

Pardon my confusion. The not-OEM cartridges are not ones that I refilled. They are 3rd party cartridges that I purchased online. I installed them as-is. Don't know about sponges or negative pressure.

Yeah. Kindof. The blobs are black and refillable but the others are OEM. Are you saying that the refillable may be the problem? I have an OEM black. Maybe I need to discard the refillable??

Twice now I have blobs and smears on the printed DVD from the Epson XP-610. I will go through nozzle cleaning, but I'm wondering if there is something else going on that I need to address?

Nozzle check attached. The black in the yellow is an artifact due to decreasing brightness and increasing contrast. Otherwise yellow is hard to see. I'm using a combination of Epson and other cartridges. The cyan just replaced is Epson. I've never refilled my own.

Prior to upgrading to Windows 10 I enjoyed a free printing utility called "Image Expert". this is an old utility that came free with my first digital camera abut it won't install it in W10. I also have Adobe LightRoom and the W10 app "Photos", but they do not print WYSIWYG. Any...

Recent prints using Lightroom and Windows 10 Print utility. How do I diagnose and fix?

WOW! I was only looking at the photo black. So you're saying that even though the yellow is only half empty that the purging function will waste more than half the ink left??? I'm looking forward to learning how to refill and reuse ink. Lead me to the best way to do this.

okay. My usual approach is to continue printing until the cartridge is empty and the printer refuses to print or the printed page starts showing blank lines or incomplete colors. My experience is that the real "end" occurs long after the first "ink low" warnings. My assumption is that of...

I'm on my 4th or 5th inkjet printer during my 20 years or so of home printing. I'm sure that I've spent over $1000 on ink. My current model is an Epson XP 610. I've heard that cleaning the heads (jets?) wastes ink but is needed to keep the printer heads from clogging. Also that the printer...
