I have experience something like the movement in the video. In my case I stopped the print-head by hand before it went back under the cover. It took a little bit of holding, because the controller kept wanting to drag the print-head sideways. Then, holding the print-head I pressed the power...

You need to set up the video to have access for "any watchers, no edits".

I would try a total reset first: Turn off the printer but leave it plugged in. Hold the Resume/Cancel button (triangle inside a circle). Press and hold the Power button (don’t release Resume/Cancel). While holding the Power button, release Resume/Cancel. Press the Resume/Cancel button five...

Hi, As I wrote elsewhere, I use MS Publisher for desktop publishing. It has a setting to "Save as" in B&W. That way I don't have to fiddle with printer settings.

Hi @Herb, I suspect that that is more likely driven by the software you use. If it sends no black signals, then the printer won't use black. It doesn't know that you are trying to simulate black. There are two ways to achieve this, either at the printer or at the software. Look for...

Interesting, would be a nice replacement for my Pro-100, it is still functioning nicely. (psst, i am hiding this email from my printer, wouldn't want it spooked). Interesting will be how the Pro-1100 self-refilling will go. As such, what will I need to replace, are refill inks even available...

The Hat is correct, it's quit a learning curve. I am glad I did back a while. See some of my early posts (sorry getting those links has not been successful), but in general I would point to https://www.youtube.com/@cheo1949 to get excellent advice from Jose. I am concerned that with new...

I did not know that. Goes against "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" ^_^. I want to mentions, it is amazing how persistent you are in answering us all the time, just awesome. Thanks The Hat.

I would worry that printing a lot "with" a blocked channel would just make the clog harden because if that channel is needed for a particular image there is heating involved. It is of course a minute of a minute of a minutes amount of a heating pulse, but I dare say the effect is cumulative...

Wouldn't it be smart to do a simple soak in Windex Original for a while. How long a "while" I am never sure about how long before there is a chance to be damaging. If there is no damage issue, then I would. OK I have to admit I have done it for my Pro-100, a while ago, I did a soak overnight...

OctoInkjet lists them. I wouldn't go eBay. From a reputable retailer like OctoInkjet the prices are fairly good.

Love them all you can. They don't stay children. Then wait for the grandkids. If we would have know how nice grandkids are we would have had them first.:weee:weee All the Best, Fritz, with apologies for sending lovie messages on a printer forum.

It is nice to hear that OctoInkjet still gives good service. Martin was very helpful back in 2017. I was in the program for testing (their) new inks, and all went really well. Being happy, I just placed a new big order with them.

Hi The Hat. From now on I am calling you Mister. I had discounted the sewing needles for being too thick. But following your advice I gave my dear wife's pin-cushion a second chance and dug up the finest needle I could find. And I had success. The plug was at the outlet end. Obviously the...

Hello All from the cold of Canada. As the subject says the fill bottle needle is plugged. I use OctoInkjet inks. It uses bottles with fairly small diameter needles. A great system that I have used for years. But alas, one of the needles has plugged say 90%. I can squeeze some "small" drops...
