I refill all my carts as soon as the printer says they are getting low, but the photo magenta and Cyan, take filling 5 or 6 times, as the cart is in the upright position. It seems the sponge is almost dry, and just keeps filling up. I've gotten in the habit of leaving the needle in and turning...
I have been using ink from inkjetcarts.com for many years in my trusty IP5000, but I just recently plugged up my printhead with the Cyan. (cleaned, cleaned, etc. and even tried it in another printer. Deep cleaning brings it back for 3/4 of a page and then gone.) Since I am getting a new...
Well, my printhead is acting up again, no cyan. I have cleaned and cleaned and even tried the "magic Printhead cleaner". The odd thing is if I run a deep cleaning on the printer, I can print about 85% of a page that uses cyan perfectly and then it runs out. I have changed carts and it acts...
From somewhere else, I noted the following:
ip5000 bk 320 c 256 m 256 y 128 b 128 -qy6-0057
ip4200 bk 320 c 256 m 256 y 128 b 128 -qy6-0059
Could this mean the ip4200 print head could be used in the ip5000? They are still pretty expensive, but much cheaper than the ip5000.
According to Alotofthings.com , Arrowjet Cartridges (except for Epson for now) now have OCP ink out of Germany. Does anybody have any experience with this ink?
I had a Canon I950 printer and have been using MIS inks for some time (4 oz bottles). Lately, I started having color problems and discovered that my black ink had seperated. MIS said this can happen if the ink is "old" (My ink was over a year old). I ordered a new bottle of black. Next my...
I have been going through 100's of sheets of paper trying unsucsessfully to get a decent color profile.
But in the diagnosis of my problems I have come across a strange phenomenon. Even after deleting the default printer profile from the printer driver, setting the driver to "none", printing...
My printer has started to leave dark blobs (smaller than a pin head but
visible to the naked eye) in all of the darker areas of my photos. It
is much more evident in photo paper, but still visible with a magnifying
glass on plain paper.
It is like the darker areas are using very course dots...
