So, an update... I managed to get hold of an i1IO unit that came with an old i1Pro ver1 as a bonus. I'm now in the process of getting everything setup and so far this is what I've done/learned. Get i1Diagnostics 4.1.2 as this is Windows 10 compatible AND i1Pro ver 1 compat' too. Later...

Actually this was a question I had when I was looking at the Pro-300 and it dawned on me that if you're using refill inks (including refilling from wide format OEM carts), why would you put a part used cartridge back in instead of a completely full one. Obviously it's a different story with OEM...

Hi Allie, Chances are this isn't necessarily going to be the best forum for your particular area of interest as most of the folk on here are about desktop printing and if memory serves (although I'm something of a lapsed forum member) there's not a lot of discussions, much less experience of...

I've managed to get an i1IO unit (at last!) which is coming with an i1Pro (don't know which type yet) which will be unneeded so once I've tested everything to check it works (assuming it does), you'd be welcome to use the spare unit if that'd help.

I'm actually in agreement here... This video might help with the cleaning process: But I definitely agree with @The Hat's assessment on those cartridges. The "compatible" sponge in a box PGI-72 cartridges are absolute trash and I'd definitely switch to refilling OEM cartridges with pigment...

I'll check with my source for empties here in the UK. They will likely have what you need and may even have a source in Europe although I doubt it. Will let you know.

For those of you following this thread (and any new folks browsing) I've done some more tweaking on my video approach and come up with two that I think cover the different styles I've been considering... but, as ever, I need more feedback. So, for those interested, these are the videos: First...

Normally I'd recommend trying to get the printer working with parts, etc.. but dye-sub in something like an ET-2720 is a hide to nothing. This is one of those, "learning experiences" you don't repeat again unless you like haemorrhaging cash. My guess is that Epson would quote you for more than...

Thankfully we're not at that stage yet but as I mentioned above, part of my query was wondering out loud how much demand there actually is for those older machines with the unique Orange/Blue/Red inks. The R2400 with its LBK, LLBK and standard inks beyond that is thankfully still very much in...

Yeah, it's that last bit that's proving the challenge. Inktec don't formulate for those at all unfortunately.

I've recently been reviewing a few things to do with legacy inks and printers back to the era of Epson R2400, R800 and the like and in conversation with suppliers it seems that manufacturers like STS-inks are now actively abandoning some formulations due to lack of demand as well as changes in...

I fear I need to start a new rant about off-topic non-ranting... Oh the irony! :smack :old

If you need it to be North American supplier you could always look at InkOwl.

There's two of them?!! :th:hide

Constructive feedback?!! Are you insane...?!! I mean... It's just... Well... Really! :th :smack:lol: --- Please excuse us while we adjust our attitude ... *cue: Elevator music* --- *ahem*. Yeah... that's actually a good idea but in fairness that sort of guide is two a penny when it comes...

Me' thinks y'all need to get out more but okay... Feast your eyes on yonder treatise on the purpose of battery changes for ye' olde T6710 chip resetter https://www.octoink.co.uk/docs/kb/epson-chip-resetter-battery-replacement/ Footnote: I mean... it's not like the guide didn't show you how to...

That heart melting moment when you go to check on an FAQ article you wrote to help folk fix something fairly simple and you get this gem of a feedback for it. I didn't edit it to remove the swearing but sometimes you wonder why you bother... So, with a microsecond of concern that humanities...

Well... FWIW, I have customers who've gone that route and tried things out. From last count the success rate has been around 30-40% but these are people who've taken a punt and not expected miracles. Long term I've not had any data come back but these were mostly people I've spoken to at length...

There was a news release recently that indicated Canon was pursuing legal action against some retailers for distributing and/or manufacturing the fake (reconditioned) printheads. Can't find it at the moment but it seems Canon have taken notice. That said it's a shame that Canon haven't...

Just as a thought you may not have the app in the right directory or the PATH variable isn't updated to include the Argyll executable.
