Now HP has done a refresh of that top of the line line: OfficeJet 8600 and new carts: 950 & 951. (old printer was the 8500A and 940 carts) It would be interesting to know what HP is doing. Im the curious type. The fist thing I see is that they have tweaked the price a bit to their advantage...

Who is a guru on Brother toner carts? Background: I have a Brother MFC-8890 that uses TN650 carts (or half filled TN620's) I bought what I thought was refilled TN650 carts, but they wont fit: the seller sold me what he says are TN580, "-and they fit sir, have a nice day". Well, these carts...

Its kind of interesting what you can discover when you have multiple printers hooked up.. I think I need help... I've got five printers hooked up already. Four of them are inkjets, all are very different. Now I see a new a new R1900 on Cragislist for 200 bucks and I need to stop myself from...

I just wanted to share a picture of an Epson CX4200. This was a printer a customer gave me yesterday since it was "broken". Terrible printouts with some "smeared goo" on the paper plus clogged nozzles of course. I wanted to test and tinker with a consumer all pigment (Durabrite) since I didn't...

I decided to test a reset utility software (WIC reset 1.5.42) to read the Waste Ink Counter values..and now Im curious what they mean? ..this is on a new Artisan 800. 5.35% (424 of 7923) 0.09% (11 of 12284) I could guess, but I thought I would ask you guys... My understanding is that I...

Im about to install a CISS on an Artisan 800. But before I do..I'm considering a waste tank installation. Should I consider it "a must"? Why do I ask, well it doesn't seem to be discussed as much on Canons and HPs in the same class? (or am I simply not paying attention..) I suppose the...

Old timers in this forum have, Im sure, seen this old Wall Street article I point out below. I simply found it interesting. I stumbled on it because someone in the forum had mentioned the so called "egg yolk test" which, if I understand correctly, is a simple indicator to see if an ink is of...

Im in the States, but for the sake of a friend in Europe I contacted an un-named CISS vendor..(it should not really matter which one at this point) ..I noticed that for the modern 364/564 HP cartridge based CISS, this particular European vendor used ONLY dye inks, and does not provide pigment...

Does anyone know if Epson made a install CD including support for Windows 7 for Artisan 800? Why do I ask: well the software CD that came with this "new" printer" this past week (refurbished) came with an Epson CD that does not indicate being Windows 7 compatible. The catch then of course is...

So, I managed to spill a little bit of dye ink, yellow on the beige wall-to-wall carpet... Any tips on removing the ink that?

I had an idea of placing the printer and the six external tanks on some kind of tray. Like some kind of "serving tray" or call it a drip tray of some sort? Why: just being overly cautious, in case ink would leak plus make it easier to move and service the unit at some point in the future...

I've been reading in this forum for the past week or so with ALOT of interest. So first off, I just wanted to say hello. Awesome wealth of info here. I suppose I found this forum because I for the heck of it put a CIS on my new HP Photosmart...and having a blast in color :-) My question is...
