Can someone please help me identify which color channel goes where on the Epson P800 printhead? I have these figured out so far.

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

I thought I would share my latest success in reviving an HP OfficeJet printer hoping that it may help someone else. I recently acquired an OfficeJet Pro 8710 printer that had just under 2,000 pages printed. Upon inspection, everything looked like it would be functioning normally upon further...

I have two Epson Artisans with a similar printhead clog and was wondering if anyone has dealt with printheads behaving this way when trying to flush out the clog with solution? Not a single channel sprays out the straight line like a normal clean one would. The funny thing is, I shipped one of...

The title says it all. I've saved a couple encoder strips and sold my first one. I have to ship it but I can't think of an affordable way to mail the 1/4"x20" strip safely. Has anyone mailed an encoder strip without breaking the bank? It's a pretty fragile part of the printer that needs to stay...

I just received my first Epson P700 printer. I've serviced a good handful of P600's thanks to JToolman's P600 disassembly video. I noticed the P700 is very different looking from the P600 and P800 respectively. I've looked on YouTube but haven't found anything close to as helpful as the P600...

This is a bit of a deep question and I hope to see peoples opinions on the subject. Over the last twenty five years, we've seen a major shift from writing letters to sending email. Then as the internet grew, newspapers started turning to digital formats in favor of physical newspapers. The...

This is a new one for me and I'm hoping there's a simple MacGyver like fix to secure it again. I included pictures of the plug that's been pushed inside the printer, and also a picture of a 1430 mainboard that shows the plug in it's normal position. I have some very fine jewelers pliers to...

So I'm starting to think that I've been scammed by a previous customer. I packed and shipped a working printer. They reported that the printer only displayed three flashing amber lights and wouldn't do anything until that was resolved. Yet the printer had ink around the edge on the bottom of the...

I just received an Artisan 1430 that looked like it was packaged well and arrived in good condition. However, when I turn the printer on, it does the normal startup process and sounds for a moment. Then everything stops and every single light flashes. I've attached what I'm looking at. Research...

The numbers and letters that are printed with the nozzle check on an Artisan 1430. Is that the serial number of the printhead itself? I noticed it's not the serial number of the sticker on the printer. I attached an image for reference.

I received a Pro-100 that I successfully restored and sent off to what I thought was it's forever home. The customer said the orange light is flashing three times. I received the return back and sure enough the orange is flashing three times while the white light stays solid. I've never seen...

It's nothing huge, but I thought I would share with the community. I received two Artisan 1430s that were not printing multiple colors. I've watched a lot of videos and researched a lot on here. Ultimately I tried workarounds from having to remove the printhead. These printers like any...
