Ok. So I found out the hard way how many soft resets can be made without a flood in the printer. Just 1. Made the reset, printed for a couple of days and the sponge became too saturated and ink began to come out in every possible way it could. So I had to clean it all up and make a minor...

Just a little promised update on this topic. I've done 5000 prints to this day. Still working perfectly well. Had a few minor clogs that were easily cleared with Epson's cleaning button. Reached 70% of my waste ink counter and will be needing a reset soon. Called the Inksystem guys and found out...

Never mind my first post. Found out that those media settings are much more complicated than I first thought. I know you must be thinking "Duh..." How I found this was that I had a problem with printing from the very beginning of purchasing my P50 with a ciss already installed (from Inksystem)...

EDIT: If your problem sounds like the name of the topic, then don't read the first post, jump right to the second post and look at the first picture I have changed the name of the topic. The original was "Epson P50 ink control". Hi. I have a little problem with my Epson P50. I print on special...

I have finally switched to Epson. And so far it's pretty great. More info http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=47643#p47643 (post #20) Thank you all for your input

And so almost half a year has passed and I ended up buying an Epson Photo P50 from inksystem.com with a ciss already installed. I thought that Epson R2880 would be a little bit too expensive for my first Epson printer. First I have to "get to know" them. It has 6 colors CMYK,LM,LC and so far...

Well I've figured out when exactly do my colors disappear. It happens to both magenta and yellow at the same time. And it happens right after printer does it's auto-cleaning cycle (after about 30-32 printed pages). I have 2 printers IP4700 and IP4850 and both suffer from the same thing. IP4850...

I've searched around but haven't found a topic here about such scenario. As I am planning on buying the Epson R2880 I need to figure out some stuff before I do. R2880 originally uses pigment ink which costs much more than dye based. While searching for ink suppliers for that printer I saw that...

Sometimes I do use the paper abrasion prevention function. I have some other media that I sometimes use and the problem with it is that it's not so flat and when printing I can hear the printhead touching my media. Then I turn on that function, printhead is raised and everything is OK again...

When the color is gone - it's gone. Does not matter what I do - let it sit over night, do some deep cleans. The only thing that helps is pushing hot water through the clogged color. Works every time and doesn't take too long - I won't be pursuing this problem any further to figure out the real...

Those air filter tubes in a ciss are a real headache for me. And I don't understand what's wrong with them or why are they there in the first place. The problem is that I cannot fully fill my ciss with ink. Every time I fill my ciss, I cannot fill too much. This is the example: If I fill...

It's really more like 25-30 per hour but at the end of the day the average is lower because of the whole lunch/printhead clean/paper load/ciss refill downtime. I really don't know what's the deal with my printhead but after ~80-100 prints magenta or yellow suddenly disappears completely. Can't...

Well IP4500 print speed is somewhat similar to IP4700 that I've been using for the last year and I've been told these printers are really fast for inkjets. I remember my friend buying an Epson all-in-one printer and printing a test A4 photo which took him more than 10 minutes on best quality...

Thank you. That is exactly what I wanted to know

Hi. One question has been bothering me and I fail to find a clear answer for this. Let's say I have an Epson printer (presumably R2880 or something similar) with ~8 different color carts. Let's say 2 of them are grey - light black and light light black. Are these 2 colors used only in B&W...

I have noticed something like this in almost all of my Canon CISS. Very similar symptoms - you prime the ciss, everything looks normal, but when you take the caps off the cartridges and plug the into the printer - ink flows back to ciss and tubes are full of air. On Canon ciss it's easily...

So moving forward with my plan to buy a better printer (Epson R2880) I began to search for possible ink and ciss suppliers, sent some emails and got a very interesting and disappointing response from City Ink Express. They told me R2880 won't handle the load, which is 100-200 printed color pages...

Yes I understand that. What I meant to say was that I was willing to buy CISS for Canon and the only thing I wasn't sure of was which one to get. I know it's bad (Canon+ciss). But never thought I could kill a printer in one day. I have already decided to go for Epson R2880+ciss in near future...

Yesterday ink, ciss and Canon IP4850 arrived. Ciss - city ink express, ink - octoink. It looks like these new Canon's carts are the same as IP4700, only chips changed. So I began setting everything up... The ciss that I ordered had ink shipped separately so that I could start using octoink with...

I'm still not sure which printer I'm going to buy, thank you all for suggestions, I will review each one very thoroughly and later decide which one I'm going with. For the time being I have decided to kill my IP4700 line and move up to the new IP4850 because ip47 aren't manufactured anymore and...
