    For sale: Epson 1290 Edinburgh Scotland

    Clearing out the attic, this will need TLC as it's been sitting for some time unused. I fitted a waste ink tank and it has a CISS of unknown quality installed. Definitely worked in the past though. Have a few old espon and copy cartridges for it too. I believe I also have the roll paper feed in...

    Have I broken my 1270?

    Well after 12 hours parked up on a moist pad the test page was still as dry as Gandhi's flipflop, so I've parked it back on another fresh one today. Definitely seeing waste ink getting pumped out when a nozzle clean is being run though so ink IS flowing then, just nothing when it goes through...

    Have I broken my 1270?

    Thanks for the reply, indeed patience is always in short supply as I routinely leave everything to the last minute! I was trying to get some 'posters' put out before last night's AGM, should have started planning that a week or two ago! I've left the head parked over a pad of kitchen towel...

    Sorry, I wasn't very specific! The cleaning fluid is Websnails ink jet cleaning fluid, but I see he hasn't got any in stock just now for me to link to. The heads on Epson's are very different from Canon's as on a Canon the ink is boiled to create the 'bubble jet' but on an Epson, it's fired by...

So after a few nozzle clean cycles, black...

    B&W on Canon Printers

    Ah, I think this was the thread I meant to post in! I've just posted on the Photo Printing forum on an old thread about dedicating a printer for B&W work when I think I had been reading this thread as well, oops, getting easily confused in my old age! I'll not repeat the whole story, but I'm...

    B&W Prints

    Hi first post so please be gentle! I'm new to the whole refill thing having used lasers for general output for years but now I want to get into photo printing to actually see all the digital pictures I've been taking and I have jumped right in to the inkjet world with both feet. I am really...
