    HP Designjet 500 plus - magenta ink fails - but only on long prints

    Hello. I am wondering of anyone can guide me a little on this please. I have an HP Designjet 500 which is running still on original HP inks (albeit old ones) and generally speaking the printer produces excellent quality prints all things considered. About a month ago, for the first time ever...

    Hi - new member with an Anet A2

    Hi. Thought I would say hi as I have just bought and assembled an Anet A2 and had a little go to see what it will do. A dinky little test print (still took abuot 20 minutes) was encouraging when printed with PLA. Yet to play with ABS, though that is the material of choice as it is stronger and...

    Epson Stylus Pro 9600 printing on polycotton

    Well, while having a go at making my own spooling roller with tensioning arm for trying to print non-paper backed material, I ended up winning a proper bit of kit for (I think) about £49 + carriage. Still going to finish my home brew effort BUT I wanted to have a play with the bit of kit I won...

    50mm > 75mm roll adapters - Any idea where I can buy a couple?

    It is possible that these little things have a special name and as I do not know it, my searches on Ebay and elsewhere are not getting me very far. If someone knows what I should search for, please enlighten me! The printer I have can handle either 50mm rolls or 75mm rolls - but as it was...

    After a *simple* way to split an image with an overlap.

    Hi. This is a software issue so hope I have plonked the question in the right place. I am trying to use the Epson 9600 to produce a two piece spot of wall art (two vertical strips to go on the wall as wallpaper). It is to cover a little entrance hall wall in a friend's tattoo parlour edge to...

    Epson Stylus Pro 9600 - occasional Paper Jam Error

    I am generally speaking very happy with the 9600 and the print quality really is very acceptable for such an old machine that doesn't have the new orange, green and red inks etc. There is one annoyance however and from time to time, it throws up "Paper Jam Error" - at which point the only...

    Epson Stylus Pro 9600 (7600 & 4000 too) Magenta ink blockage - fix

    I bought an Epson Stylus 9600 around a week ago which SEEMED at first glance that all nozzles were working, I am still trying to work out why I didn’t see the missing nozzles as I could have sworn that the nozzle check printout was spot on - and I saw it print it out - this was not something...

    Epson Stylus Pro 9600 - size and general query.

    Hi. Although I have an HP 500plus 24" printer I like to play with, I have had several enquires now for printing work to be displayed outside for which it really isn't ideal. I have found an Epson Stylus Pro 9600 using the ultrachrome ink and the fellow is happy to show me it working with all...

    Using Epson Ink in an HP Printer...

    I know this sounds stupid (and it might well be) but there is a reason for me wondering and asking. I have recently bought a lovely old DesignJet 500 and generally speaking it works very well - and until such time as I get through the many genuine cartridges I have, I am not going to mess...

    Will pigmented ink (water based) work on uncoated PVC ?

    Hi. I have an Epson R285 and I am trying to find out if water based pigmented ink will print onto untreated PVC. I tried searching on Google but for once found very little help. I tried a search on here but the word "PVC" is too short a word for the system. PVC inkjet worked but didn't seem...
