    Epson Artisan 837 cant print RED?

    thanks for your reply Mikling, I love the concept of the CISS hence the 2nd round! The Artisan was set up by MIR-AUS so I would be surprised if the M and LM were the wrong way around. (not that im doubting you) Would head cleaner help?

    Epson Artisan 837 cant print RED?

    Hi, I am onto my 2nd CISS and Printer combo. My original config was the Canon MP780 with CISS and 12 months ago I upgraded to the Artisan 837 as it was recommended by the CISS dealer due to the cartridges not moving and only the head tracking back and forth. For some reason I cant print...

    Replace Canon MP780 ciss or get new Epsom Artisan 837/730 with ciss?

    I think I will try to resurrect my MP780. I forgot to mention that I already bought an old IP4000 for its spare head. So right now, i cant tell whether the heads are gone or whether the poor seals on my CISS are the cause of the issues.

    Replace Canon MP780 ciss or get new Epsom Artisan 837/730 with ciss?

    Hi The Hat, It's true I don't do a heap of printing but that will change with 4 children in the house. In saying that, my CISS holds 80ml each fill and I was previously printing on DVDs which accounted for the bulk of colour usage. The CISS served its purpose better than having to buy...

    Hi, my Canon MP780 (multifunction version of IP4000) has served us well over the past 5-6years. my ciss has only been refilled twice during this time. The MP780 functions well but I may need to replace the head, as well as the ciss. Thus I am at a cross road. Am I better of ordering new...

    Cut Canon printer to install CISS?? (to avoid leaving lid open?)

    hi Troy14, I have a Canon MP780 and CISS for many years now. I used a dremel to cut a line into the side of the MP780 so that the line does not crimp anywhere. Its been working great! Only recently I have had aproblem with the CISS (not related to the cutting of the case though). Im going...

    loose CISS tubing connecting to cartridge

    Hi guys, I think i found the root of my problem for my CISS! a few of the tubing elbows have become too loose and as such I am loosing the vacuum pressure. This is the elbow that connected the cartidge to the silicon tube via an elbow. What glue do you recommend to fix this? Thanks

    Thanks, Im about to order but just realised that the Rihac Inks are only dye based and they do not have a pigment base ink for the 3E ink. Given that my MP780 (same as IP4000) print head accommodates both dye and pigmented inks, wont it be a problem?

    Is there a recommended way to clean your CIS chamber/tanks?

    I'm worried that the sponge will hold the water and take forever to flush out of the sponge.

    Is there a recommended way to clean your CIS chamber/tanks?

    I used inks from.Ebay but these were recommended at the time. The only issue I have had.is condensation in the tanks. I'm not sure whether that's due to the inks out the warmth from the printer? This time I will either be using one of the following inks...

    Is there a recommended way to clean your CIS chamber/tanks?

    I've had my Canon MP780 for years now and i am due for new inks this week. I have noticed that the CIS chambers (made from perspex i believe) are coated and I no longer can easily see the level of ink inside. Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you clean your tanks? Thanks

    Anatomy of a Canon print head

    thanks for your post! I really found it very interesting and it got me thinking! If i put the wrong black ink into the wrong chamber, would it simply leak all the way through? Given that i probably put the finer black into the wrong chamber?

    Hi, Thanks for your replies. I believe that the striping will rectify over a few cleaning cycles as suggested. Colours appear washed out as i have had some condensation build up in the CISS. The PC im primarily printing from is using Vista 32bit, but i will have a look at the setting as you...
