    Epson P900 using excessive amounts of Gray Ink

    Hello, Printing images (photos of my paintings) on my Epson P900 is using excessive amounts of Gray and Light Gray ink cartridges. I'm having to change these two at a rate probably 3:1 of any other color. When I order ink, I'm buying 3 or 4 times more Gray and Light Gray cartridges than the...

Other than the paper front tray not working properly (I'll have to look into that) it seems to be in good shape, especially considering the price I snagged it for. With that out of the way, the print levels are low and I'm...

    What is a photo black cartridge for?

    If you print photos (on photo paper) then you use the dye-based black (denoted K often times I gathered) instead of the pigment-based black (Bk). Now when does this "photo black" actually get used? Is it only for the parts of the photo where it is completely black ("true black")? Or does it also...

    Looking for great 3rd party inks for a Canon Pro-1000

    I have a Canon Pro-1000 that seems to "eat" ink, especially the chroma optimizer. Does anyone know of a good solution for this problem. Inexpensive refils, perhaps? I use the printer infrequently, so it naturally goes through cleaning cycles, whether it needs it or not.
