    Designjet 500. running out of ink mid print.

    What happens if a cartridge (CISS) reports empty or low during a very large print? Can I reset the cartridge and keep printing or will it wreck the print?

    Well it happened again...

    I have had an Epson Stylus Pro 4900 with a clogged printhead come into my life. We weren't trying, it just sort of happened and even though we weren't prepared for this, we are excited about the future that lies ahead. After failing to resurrect a SP 4000 (which is going to be parted out) I...

    HP CIS Systems vs Bulk Carts

    As this DJ500 comes back to life slowly but surely, I'm eyeing different ink systems, the HP Cyan cart it came with is about a 1/4 full, its time to look at options. At first I was pretty much sold on a CIS System but now i'm wondering. It would seem to me that the DesignJet 500's off axis ink...
