    I keep losing light grey completely after about 10 prints

    I have a Pro 100 and use Precision colors ink. I am having continual clogs with light grey. My problems started after doing about 80 5 x 7 prints on rag paper. I have cleaned the print head a number of times but that only seems to help for a very short time. I would appreciate any suggestions. I...

    Life is good!

    I am just posting to announce that I just successfully refilled my first PRO 100 cartridges with Precision Colors kit. I reset the chips, transferred them from the OEM cartridges to the empty cartridges and then filled with ink. I ran a head clean, printed a nozzle check and just ran my first...

    Can I override "scanner unit is not closed" error message?

    I have an old artisan 710 that I think would print fine but the lid of the printer containing the scanner has been disconnected completely with a scissors (the tape that connects the scanner to the printer) so even though I can set the lid on top of the printer it doesn't recognize it and says...

    CISS plug broke - ink all over

    Hi. Things have gone from bad to worse from user error here. I have a piano book CISS with my Artisan 710. I was trying to pull the plugs out one by one and clear the lines of any air bubbles. When I got to cyan I could not get the plug out. In trying to do so I punctured a hole in it. Stupid me...

    Empty Epson 99 Carts - anyone need these for free?

    I have some old Epson cartridges from my Artisan 710 that are empty. I don't know if anyone uses these to refill or uses the chips for anything or just likes to take them apart for any reason. I noticed a post on another part of the forum where someone was wanting some used carts but I think...

    Any opinions on purchase - Artisan 837 vs. PIXMA pro 100?

    My Artisan 710 is having new problems every day and seems to be retiring. I'm trying to decide between two printers for a replacement. I realize one is wide format and the other isn't but right now they are nearly the same price because both have discounts going on. One is the Epson Artisan...

    Banding issue - Artisan 710 - alignment not improving issue

    Hi. I have an Artisan 710 that I have been trying to keep alive. I recently have reset the waste ink counter with OctoInkjet and I also worked on unclogging the nozzles by turning the printer on, waiting for the printhead to move off the resting pad, unplugging the printer, and taking a paper...

    Epson waste counter reset vs. Octoinkjet

    Can anyone tell me what the difference is between using the downloadable reset from the Epson site to reset my waste ink pad error vs. buying the utility from Octoinkjet? Do they both do the same thing? Thanks very much. Anne

    Piano Book has sprung a leak

    Hi. I have the piano book purchased from Leonard John at least 5 or 6 years agio. It has been awesome. I noticed this morning my light magenta line was filled with air so I took the cap off the cartridge to release air and ink squirted out the tubing. I found a slight nick in the tube - probably...

    Epson Artisan 710 with Piano Book CISS - Won't print black

    Hi. I have an Epson Artisan 710 with a Piano Book CISS from Leonard John. This combo has worked great for me for years. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get my black ink to work?

    Piano Book gone haywire

    Hey. Any ideas? My piano book on my epson 710 has been operating flawlessly for about 4 or 5 years. Right now I cannot seem to get it to print correctly. I have tried cleaning the print heads and I have switched to a back up printer and it still prints the wrong colors even after multiple print...

    Piano Book by Leonard John

    I have had my Piano Book CISS Unit which I purchased from Leonard John (LJH Ent.) hooked up for two weeks now. It is for the Artisan 710. Leonard was very helpful before, after and during my purchase - always responding to my e-mails promptly and thoroughly. The unit arrived quickly and in...
