Does anyone have any affordable storage solutions for keeping expensive letter sized paper from ending up with bent corners? Red River and Southworth have those chipboard boxes which are better than wrapped reams, but once you start using it up it'll end up crushed if stacked... but at least the...

While this is for Epson (1400) specifically, it would be useful to discuss how to do it with other brands. While using Photoshop and Lightroom has a specific workflow to properly print with ICC profiles, how do we use them correctly with other software that uses the "default printer driver"? If...

Bailed on Ink (jet) carts (dot) us years ago due to terrible service (and haven't bothered to even see if they're still around), MIS has always been too pricey for my tastes, and my last supplier stopped selling pigments for the 1400 and now I'm almost out. Who's selling a decently profiled set...

I bought a new set of carts for my 1400 last year because my supplier changed their pigment inksets. Since you can't wash out the cartridges, I bought a new set. I had a leave-in set that were connected together that auto-reset. While I wanted this at first, it got annoying because you couldn't...

It's my fault for not using my printers enough, though I do find it strange that it's the /dyebased/ printer that's gone bad. This one has normal resettable cartridges. The black nozzle check seems to be permanently bad. Every so often I -think- I get one more bar clear. I don't have a spare set...

It's my fault for using in-printer reset cartridges (linked, jump to full randomly after dropping below a certain level) that make the printer do more purge/cleaning cycles than necessary. But it seems like every time it does this, it loses the good nozzle check! I'll get it running for a bit...

This is the third time I've had to clean my neighbor's Epson. She prints a lot of cards and scrapbooking stuff so she needs small print margins, and they also have to be even so they center correctly for the legacy software she uses (the HP she had bought when she moved in had a .25" top margin...

So it's been a hwile since I've bought a non-wide-format printer. I had someone who wanted to just be able to stick a camera card in a printer and print so I casually skimmed Staples for whatever the current equivalent to the R340 is. Apparently none of the small format printers/all-in-ones...

The dyebased one that got clogged, I finally got the nozzles used for Photo RPM unclogged by puddling The Hat's purge solution on the parking pad. I used to be able to nozzle check / unplug / move printhead / puddle solution / plug back in and immediately turn off via the button and the fluid...

I can't seem to get the black on my dyebased 1400 unclogged after not using it for about 8 months (yeah, my fault). Figures the pigment 1400 that wasn't used for a year fired right up with no issues. :rolleyes: I tried gently pushing cleaning fluid in with a syringe/rubber tubing and let it sit...

So I may or may not be getting an R2000 in the near future. I already have a 2x 1400s, one pigment, one dye, and a WF 1100 that I'm not using and probably doesn't work anymore now that I've I bought a B&W inkset for it. :rolleyes: I *really* don't need another printer (or have room for it) but...

For my monochrome laser I generally just get whatever cheapest 3-pack of aftermarket toner carts that have a decent amount of reviews and over 4 stars on Amazon. I just picked up this color demo model on clearance and I'm curious if there's anything I should watch out for using aftermarket toner...

Welp, been gone over a year due to family emergencies and otherwise being too busy to play with my printers. I'm hoping I can get my 1400s working again after such a long downtime. If not I'll have to get a refurb R2000... Anyway my main question is what to do with the Workforce 1100. I...

Anyone have any recommendations for shipping 13 x 19 photos/prints? I see mixed opinions all over the place on the dpreview forums; use tubes, don't use tubes due to curl, giant envelopes are fine, giant envelopes get all bent up in the system, etc. Currently I have mostly Red River papers...

Lately on some artists' websites I've been seeing comments about how their prints were made on a laser (or "LED") printer, and therefore have good fade resistance. I haven't really kept up with laser technology... every time I've gotten something printed out at an office supply store it's been...

After dealing with various issues that have kept me from maintaining my printers (worried about the 1400 w/pigment sitting for 5 months now...) I want to try to get the Workforce 1100 up and running. Has anyone tried using this one with black pigment and dye color (like HP printers) together? If...

I have a large amount of ink 000 jet 000 carts pigments for my WF 1100 leftover from the junk CIS that I bought for it. I bought regular refillable #68 carts from MIS. While I would prefer not to throw out the IJC ink, if I use it in these carts, once I run out I don't know whether ink from...

After getting another ad from Staples for a different paper I'm curious as to whether or not there's any physical difference in the myriad of 20 lb printer papers available. "Copy" "Multipurpose" "Office", the only difference on the packaging being the brightness, and even then most of them are...

Tossing all keywords I used to search into the title. I thought there was a third party utility for Epsons that let you schedule a weekly or daily print job (or nozzle check) to prevent clogging but I can't remember the name of it.

Everyone loves the Staples Photo Plus 8.5 x 11 double-sided matte but the other common free-after-rebate sale these days is the 4 x 6 Photo Plus Glossy. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with this? Using an Epson 1400 with IS dye ink (Precision Colors) and an R340 with OEM ink (until I run...
