Yes, I cleaned the contacts with alcohol both on the carts and the printer.

I've been using PC inks & carts for over a year now and really love them, especially the EV6 ink in my Artisan 1430! I think I have a broken or defective cart (black) for my cheapee XP-310. Got the "cartridge not recognized" message, so I topped off everything (all carts were nearly full...

Thanks to all for the help. I think I can put this matter to rest now.

I think the WIC reset thing is a reasonable purchase. I'll keep that in mind... if the printer outlives me! Any negatives on that?

No, really. I'm not that kind of person. Sorry I got carried away with the emoticons...

Makes sense now!:clap

I know it's probably a long ways down the road, but I hate having a time bomb in my printer and not knowing how to deal with it. I found that Epson offers a free utility to do this, but only for some models, 1430 NOT included. I'd like to hear thoughts about replacing the ink pad yourself, or...

Mike, thank you for the valuable info. I wish it were easier to see the ink levels without removing the cartridges but I'll just have to be prudent and top off more frequently. I really don't want to lose all the sweat I did purging air out of the printhead. I think I was luckier than some, only...

Yes, I was referring to the Artisan 1430. I'm using Precision Colors EV6 inks and their supplied auto resetting cartridges. Smile, please see my recent post under "Arrggghh Auto reset chips driving me mad" to help answer your question. All carts showed at least 1/8 full.

The independent standing vs. master slave situation also existed way back since the R200 (10 years? now) days but lost its popularity. If a channel has a non recognition reading, it could be the slave or it could be the master. You cannot determine which is the problem except through trial and...

Printing a landscape on 13" x 19" and the yellow cart goes empty about 3/4 the way through. Everything stops, red light blinking on replace ink button. So I refill the cartridge, pop it back in, press the button. Printer goes through its charging/cleaning cycle, then continues printing right...

Thanks. I know it sounded like a dumb question, but my concern was whether Epson's software might somehow reject if Epson ink had never been installed.

I just ordered one of these from Epson, refurbished for a backup & printing web pages, etc. (They're giving 'em away for $35 shipping included). I'm using Precision Colors ink in my 1430 and completely satisfied. Question is, is it safe to load the new (refurbished) printer with PC's dye ink...

(sigh)

Would removing and refilling all carts when one goes empty give the same results? Would they all reset to "full"? I'm new to this so I don't know what actually triggers the reset. I'm using Precision Colors' refillable carts ( and their ink, of course) and I am yet to perform my first refill. I...

I am really pleased with both the inks and the profiles!

Kinda has an odd smell... somewhere between dirty socks and hazelnuts!

Our water has a LOT of minerals. I'll use distilled to be safe. Thanks! Oh, and BTW Mikling, my kit has the EV6 ink. Is that now permanently replacing E6B, or am I even talking about the same thing?

This is probably a dumb question, but since it's my first post I figure I'm entitled to one: I got a kit from Precision Colors for my Epson 1430 a few days ago, so I' m still on the prefilled carts. When I do refill (which I've never done before) how should I clean the needles & syringes? Not...
