Okay, Hat! Here's one. How long do these little chip resetters last? I have the little blue one for Canon CLI-8 & CGI-5's I think I got it from Milking 2 or 3 years ago & suddenly it won't reset the chips. Can the batteries be changed? Time for a new one? Thanks to all! Pkk

Success!! I;m printing again. And after following Hat's advise I'm not getting the smudges. This is the first time I've removed & cleaned one of my printheads. It all went as advertised. I haven't done anything about the Pro 9000 smudging on the back yet. It can wait. Thanks again to all. Pkk

Thanks for the quick reply. My ink is about 6 months old. This last round of refills pretty much got down to the bottom of those bottles. I flushed all my carts less than a year ago & they haven't been refilled more than once. I have about 70 carts for these 2 printers & I have wondered about...

Hello All & thanks for all the great info this forum offers. I just did a big (for me) printing with my MP830. I was printing greeting cards on heavy card stock. I let the printer rest a few days & then went to print a few more cards. The magentas were completely clogged-nozzles checks were...

Thanks Stratman. I learn something new every time I log onto this forum. Pkk

Hey Stratman, What do I need to get to print on DVDs on my MP830?

Well Hat, I think I'll be calling Epson on this. Everything I tried with the drivers gave the same resuly as above. So I selected Ultrasmooth fine art paper from the paper choices which requires the manual rear feed. Printed perfectly. I did notice that the right hand edge of the paper (facing...

I was thinking along the lines you suggest, Hat, but I don't think that's what's causing it. I think it's the paper. I got tired of ruining my good paper so I pulled out a tablet of artist water color paper that I sometimes use. It printed fine. I went back to my 17" paper that I cut from rolls...

No, It's a PC. Windows 64. I normally print out of Photoshop so I also tried printing it from Windows Photo Viewer which I use for casual snapshot printing. Same thing. Pkk

Hey All, Has anybody ever had this with an Epson 3800? It only prints about half the photo, cutting off the top. I had this happen when I first bought it (used) but I thought it was because I was feeding the paper from the wrong source. This only happens with large paper sizes- 16x20 or 17x22...

Thanks again for the GREAT feedback. I'm hoping for a score like filmguy got. I just want to avoid a mistake, especially with one of these 90 pounders. This forum is now my primary research medium. I learn more faster here than wading through specs I don't understand & the reviews on Amazon have...

Thanks for the input. I figured the 3880 would be the best choice for the hobbist/semipro because of it's not as heavy & bulky as the 4000 series. Lack of a roll feeder doesn't really matter-at least to me. But I guess for that reason they seem to hold their value better. 3880's sell at higher...

Hey All, First thanks for all the help this forum has provided me with getting going on my own photo printing. I've been running a Canon Pro 9000 & I'm very happy with this machine but I must admit that I've been browsing Craig's list & Ebay for the bigger Epson printers. I'm interested for 2...

Thanks again to you both. I'm slowly narrowing down my choices. If I can get my Canon Pro 9000 to print on dvd's that's a factor. And if the Epson 2200 is slower than my 9000 that's a big factor. I met today with the powers that be at the church (that would be the secretary) & they guarenteed me...

There are all great comments. I'm getting my questions answered & questions I hadn't thought of until now. I can see my choice is coming down to sticking to Canon so I can easily refil with the same dye inks I'm using now or turn my office into a real print shop & get an Epson with pigment inks...

I should have mentioned too that I'm not worried about quality. Any 4 tank printer out there will do good enough quality. I figured having 4 tanks to keep full instead of 8 would be easier. But then the 9000 really only seems to use 6 colors. I have 2 sets of cli-8 & bci-6 carts now. Thanks...

Yeah I didn't think about just getting another 9000 & using 2 at a time. I bought mine last summer for $160 new in the box & as the Canon rebate deal was still going at least till Dec I guess there's more out there. But you are all answering my questions. Which ever route we take I have some...

Thanks again! You've been helping me with all my injet problems. The main reason I was wanting an alternative to the 9000 is time. It is pretty slow. My little IP 3000 prints circles around it on everyday office work. But it only has an 8" carriage. I don't mind letting them spend some money if...

Hey again all. Well my Pro 9000 Mk II has gotten me into another fine mess. I've been printing the proofs for our church newsletter on it and now they're wanting to know if we can print the entire run ourselves. These are printed on 11x17, both sides, then folded. We send out 2500 each quarter...

I haven't decided how I will bind it but I think not stiching. That sounds the hardest. I will certainly report back on how good a job a stark newbie can do with this. Pkk
