    Epson 3880 Paper Feed Roller

    My trusty 3880 seem to have some foreign matter under one of the paper feed rollers. Which could be broken, but I don't know this yet (and I won't break it myself) A week ago there was some nochy sound while printing on a new photo paper, 260g and a bit stiff, but nothing special I think.

    To sponge or not to sponge - renew or remove "porous pads"?

    After grabbing two old classic printers on ebay I wonder what sponges are good for. First is a R800, seems to be in really good condition, especially the printhead, after some maintenance.

    Which refillable cartridges for epson?

    I had two sorts of refillable cartridges in my epson printers (R800 R285) The first ones had a little round compartment in the cartridge which was difficult to fill. Ink flow was not good. Perhaps this type of cartridges has to be filled in vacuum with special device? The other ones had not...
