    Cool trick! How to do nozzle checks as a scheduled task

    I was looking for a way to do scheduled nozzle checks on my printers. (every 3 days for me) I know MIS autoprint exists, but it sends a purge page without actually telling me the nozzles are clean. I've found a way!!! The trick is to capture the data sent to the printer for a nozzle check, and...

    Epson NX100 all in one --- got for free, can it be refilled???

    Hi everyone, I got a NX100 all-in-one free with another purchase. It's still in the box for now, I'm not sure if I'll actually use it or give it away. I'm a little confused about the cartridges... it came with T088 pigment carts. Google tells me it could also be used with T069 dye-based carts...

    Where to buy empty CLI-8 with chip ?

    Hello Serville, would you be kind enough to report back after a few refills of those hong kong cartridges? Empty CLI-8 and PGI-5 are quite expensive on Ebay these days... I've been able to find two sets at a "reasonable" price a couple of weeks back, but I'm not sure I'll always be that lucky!

    cli-8/pgoi-5 orange caps

    thanks everyone! I'll store them in a tupperware, but I think I'll also put them in individual plastic bags, in case something goes horribly wrong and one of them leaks. As for the purging for color accuracy, my monitor is calibrated with a Spyder, and I also own a copy of Profile Prism. I am...

    Thanks.. So I guess it's going to stay in the box for a couple of weeks, and primed before installing.

    Hello everyone, I purchased a CIS kit recently but i'm not quite ready to install it (my carts won't be empty before a week or two). It's a pre-filled kit... how long can I wait to install it? If I wait that long, will it clog or anything? Another queston, the kit simply states to install it...
