    Where to sell my great IP4500?

    I recently got the amazing Epson Artisan 800 for a bargain price and I must say that I really like it so far. This means the IP4500 has to go (lack of space)... unfortunately. The damn thing is working like new (check the recent nozzle check below and the EEPROM printout) and I always refilled...

    Is Epson Artisan 800 any good?

    I spotted a really nice deal to get the epson Artisan 800 for 100$. I already have the great Canon IP4500 which is running like a charm, but I am really tempted by this Epson as I need a scanner and would prefer an AIO over a printer + a scanner... My questions are: - Is it true that the...

    Inkjetcarts (Image Specialists) ink incompatible with Kirkland paper?

    Epson R220 strange nozzle check - Need opinions and possible causes

    Hello all! I had a really bad clogged print head on my Epson R220 last week. Multiple cleaning cycles didn't help at all. Then, I tried the Windex-on-the-parking-pads method and it worked perfectly! No clog at all now on my nozzle check test. But this strange thing... The magenta shows a weird...

    Green tint with hobbicolors

    After I tried the virgin cartridges from Hobbicolors (which ARE GREAT!) and read all the great comments about hobbicolors ink on this forum, I decided to try their ink.
