    Epson R3000: dreaded PK ink globs on paper

    While you're at it replace the ink damper for the blacks, that seems to be the actual problem for the "ink globs" just replacing the switch valve wont fix the problem. Few months ago I replaced the valve switch on my R3000 and 3800 and the ink continued leaking wasn't until I replaced the ink...

    Epson 3880 Black Ink Leak Repair

    You are correct, the actual problem is not just the ink valve selector it also comes with a bad ink damper. I guess the rubber seal or the one way valve on the ink damper goes bad after a while. Strange that it only affects the PK/MK. A while back I replaced the ink valve selector on my 3800 and...

    Epson 3800- Odd Black marks along print edges

    I just purchased the ink selector valve for my 3800 & R3000 after having the same issue. The easiest/less messy way to approach this is to replace the whole damper unit, but is also more expensive. Damper Unit https://ebay.us/MnRpEF Damper Switch Valve https://ebay.us/gsbDCe

    Epson R3000 PK cartridge not recognize

    As websnail mentioned your best option is to get another set of chips or you will be better off with a new set of cartridges. I own a R3000 myself and I currently have 2 sets of extra cartridges to swap them when needed. Just last night I replaced the yellow cartridge after getting the error of...

    Epson R3000 - Anyone removed the buffers?

    Hi all, I like everybody else that owns a R3000 ended up with the same issue this past weekend. I searched on eBay for a replacement ink supply system to no avail. So I decided to find a way to get the printer back to working order. I was able to get the printer back by switching the blacks and...

    Collective group buying: Inktec Powerchrome K3 High-Gloss pigment ink

    Hi Joe, I currently use OCP K3, but I was looking into improving the lack of glossiness of the Magentas. I guess my other option (for now) is to use the Cone magentas and see how it goes since it's too expensive to buy any of the OEM magentas on eBay these days. Thanks everyone for your time...

    Collective group buying: Inktec Powerchrome K3 High-Gloss pigment ink

    Hi Pharmacist, in the post you mentioned that the magenta is the one that causes the muted problem, what about the LM? I ask this because here in the USA I can get the CMYK colors ($45 per liter) but not any of the light colors. I'm currently using OCP and I still have a lot of it, but after...

    I bought an iMac 27"...my goodness.

    I'm sure you are in :love with your new iMac, who wouldn't! They are a beautiful piece of art and pack a lot of power in a small/slim design. If I hadn't had the bad experience with my MBP 2009 & 2011 I definitely would go for one of the new iMac myself, but for now I'm happy with my build. The...

    I bought an iMac 27"...my goodness.

    You nailed it! The worst part is coughing up $1,800+ for a decent apple machine that will mostly die in less than 2 years (the infamous video card issue) fortunately I had apple care. I wasn't taking any more chances with apple :fl and gave up the fancy look of their machines and sold both of my...

    Arggggh: auto-reset chips driving me mad !!!

    Hi Joe, I indeed have an external waste ink collector installed (plastic bottle) on my printer, that is a must! I do work on Mac (well a hackintosh and now my MBP is pretty much a dust collector) for PS & LR and pretty much everything else, but for the adjustment program I use Windows 7 (that...
