Took the initial cartidges out of the bin, cleaned and put them in the printer. It recognised all of them. After that I was able to replace them with cartidges that weren't being recognised before. But it looks like the head is mostly clogged again from sitting recently... only one pigment...

Hello. I got my hands on an XP-720 with plenty of non-OEM cartridges and full waste ink. After cleaning/drying and a trial reset with WIC, I was doing test prints after only 4 printhead cleaning cycles. Until I noticed that it wasn't printing photo black and the waste ink counter was full again...

Ok, I know that in essence, all the information I need has already been posted on this forum. However all the theory without practice does not leave me confident. So I basically need confirmation if I have understood those who have shared their experience correctly: The best value/quality is...

Well if we're being pedantic... whatever jtoolman decides, I'm grateful that he's made the vids and hope he continues to make them. And I'm also happy that you and others share your experience too :) I had just removed the side panel and realised "No kitchen roll!". "Darling, do we have any...

lol. I used to repair Panasonic video cameras (and other stuff from other manufacturers) and temped at the factory in Neumünster(car audio). @ Joe (jtoolman) if read this. Just realised whose video I posted. Thanks man. I motion for a sticky thread for Joe's vids.

@ The Hat. Yes, I admit that at the end of the day it's most likely down to me not using the printer often enough. The hate stemmmed (it passed afte I threw a few thing down the stairs) from the fact that I had spent some time designing something for a client, made a few sample prints that...

I could understand if I had printed lot. But it has probably seen only 3-4 complete sets of ink. Sure it will be like a new printer. But how long will it last? Epson want £408 (around €510) for the repair by the way - nearly the price of a new one. Thanks for posting the part no. by the way...

I hate this printer. I loved it for the first year. Now I hate it... I'm angry... and I hate Epson too. It never got used mych as my "business idea" never kicked off. Over nearly 3 years I've changed about 5 complete inksets (OEM only). The last time I did a series of prints (A3+) it was...

$450 each and the seller hasn't managed to sell them within Madrid? Free shipping to all over the world? The box shown in the image look like it's been shipped around a bit - Repair? Fell off the back of a lorry? Plus the wall sockets in that picture are not standard Spanish (European). I'm...

The availability of refill options was not enough to convince me to get the Canon. The decision might cost me the next time I need to print a large number - then it will be a price that I have to pay. Thanks for the info about Alibaba, had a closer look at the site and also found this...

Hi... pharmacist: Agreed, as a R3000 user, I'd prefer refillable carts (which don't need to be removed for refilling). Hopefully one of the known dealers will start selling kits soon. jtoolman: I'm very happy with my decision - aside from the fact that there are no refillable carts available...

@ jtoolman: Yeah, I have seen one vid (link in the 2nd post in this thread). The system shown in the images on inkrepublic look very much like the ones in that vid - wobbly, chipless and all. Though as the carts in the R3000 are stationary - as long as the ink is passed on to the head and...

I wonder if anyone else was as stupid as me and thought "I'll probably finish my first set of OEM carts end of August* - so by then I'll have refills", and bought the printer thinking "I'm sure they'll manage it" :he *(The refills were supposed to come in July).

High quality print implies large file size. WiFi connection could drop. If your printer is not made to receive the file before printing it, a drop in the WiFi connection could result in your print being interrupted without being able to resume. I agree that a poll for this is odd and you need...

You misunderstood. I just want to finish the running print and turn off the printer in a normal manner. Sorry for the confusion. I don't own a car. And whilst I do enjoy tinkering and (mis)using things for what they were not originally intended for, an inverter and a car battery would cost me...

Wow! I thought this topic would die off without any responses. I wanted to keep my initial post short and to the point. Here's the situation for clarification: Whilst waiting for my Epson R3000 to arrive and I had just finished reading the quick start guide, we had a power cut. One of the...

Can anyone recommend a UPS for a printer that draws, say, 25 Watt max at 230V? The UPS wouldn't need to power anything other than the printer, so the general computer UPSs provide "too much" power.

That was fast. Looks a lot like the system I saw in a video a few days ago(the system is not available yet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNkqAJGS8xs To me the video looks like they just stuck a system that physically fits in and are now taking "pre orders". Nothing about chips or resetting...

@ rodbam: Thanks for your thoughts on the paper in general, my thoughts were similar. I guess the result depends on the paper as well as the printer settings. I don't recall which papers were used, but I do remember reading elsewhere, that some people just couldn't get the same results when...

I've been trying to find out if there is a clear differentiation between "normal" photo paper and "fine art" paper. I mean what's the difference between (non-textured) regular glossy inkjet paper and glossy fine art paper. (Or cheap matte and fine art matte) I'm not asking about the obvious...
