I was in a jam for a Light Cyan to restore an Epson 3880 printer and ordered one of the cartridges from them. The quality of their ink and customer service is atrocious. They never informed me that the ink cartridge was on a 2 WEEK minimum backorder. I had to reach out asking if my order has...
Thank god these cartridges are larger than my other Epsons. Doing that procedure almost 10x in a row could get tedious. But it's well worth it for the reduced cost and print quality. Plus it looks like I already have my set of ink cartridges ready for modding at home. Money saved there as well...
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious of your right to repair laws in EU. Especially in this case! I saw that Precision Colors recommended the chipless solutions with their cartridges. I would much rather be using genuine cartridges than aftermarket.
Is there a guide to modifying genuine p800...
I'm about to be using a P800 and would like to get the most out of my prints by using precision colors chipless kit. Has anyone used it here? If so, how did you like it? And how easy was working with the firmware? It looks too easy to be true in my opinion. Thanks in advance.

I have a unusual art project that I'm starting where I'll need a used Epson printhead that will still flow liquid through. Preferably one that has the male ended nozzles as it will be easier for me to work with than Canons flat pad setup where the ink cartridges rest. The only printheads I have...
Thank you so much for letting me know that! I had no idea the ribbon cables were so fragile for Epson. The ribbon cables looked decent. They were never removed before, I could confirm that. I have a couple 10 fuses coming to see if I can swap out the F1 part of the mainboard. We'll see! I'll be...
Lately I've been trying to make sure the printheads going back in are nice and dry before installing. And remembering to put the same ink cartridges back in before it was powered off. I ran into a unique scenario today and was wondering if anyone could tell me what happened. I received a mint...
I've noticed a handful of sellers selling printheads with white chipboards. While the one I have that's genuine is the standard green. I've read that white boards are uncoded/decoded/universal and are cheap chinese knock offs. Is it true for all of them?
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Small Avery labels would be an efficient way to add information without worrying about smearing or drying.
I was worried about that becoming evident in the prints. Printing grayscale without any photo magenta flow produces results that are still very much workable as grayscale. Worst case scenario, I'm running this head for grayscale prints until something else happens to it.
This is exactly what I am silver lining this project as. I'm going to do some more testing with it. But every other color works and I only print in grayscale 95% of the time. If my attempts at restoring flow to the channel don't work, I'll adopt it for grayscale prints.
This is the first time I've had a Pro-100 printhead flat out refuse any flow going through when printing and even when attempting to flush. The printer itself doesn't look like it's been used much and has been for the most part properly taken care of. I did find non-genuine third party inks in...
Can you define a dead nozzle for me please? I ask because I assume the channel has flow when flushing but not when printing? I'm asking because I have one single color channel in a Pro-100 printhead that refuses any flow whatsoever. I can't imagine what could be blocking the flow inside the unit.
Thanks for letting me know. I was moving some files from my server not too long ago. I updated the link and verified it works. You should be good to go now.
Thank you for the advice! I just purchased a full set of ink for it. Fingers crossed it will resolve the issue. I'll be sure to only put cartridges in once the printers on from now on as well. I'll report back once I test it more.
I have an Artisan 1430 that looked like it was rejecting all ink cartridges at first. I know there's a bug where if you didn't have ink cartridges in the printer before powering off, and you inserted new cartridges while the printer was off, when you power the printer on, it would show it needs...
