    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I would assume that the printer would cut such paper but with the effect that the blade wears out earlier. I have seen that on my old P7600 , but that was not too much of a problem since blades were available via Aliexpress. I'm currently in contact with a local Epson supplier - a dealer which...

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Sorry - I was looking for the wrong printer - the J6940dw uses pigment inks for all colors with LC422 cartridges. Tanksytem printers by Brother are not popular in Germany. https://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk/cheap-printer-cartridges/brother/mfc-j6940dw/mfc-series/refillable/empty/cyan Here is a...

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Only a test can confirm a good or not so good ink performance, printer manufacturers don't tell you any detail about the performance of their inks, it can very well be that inks like the bt5000 or bt50001 are different - or not. You have a similar situation with Epson or Canon tank printer inks...

    I returned the Canon TC-20 printer last week using the return right for online purchases, the EU min period are 2 weeks, this distributor offers a general 4 week return right.

    Stylus Photo 1400. To clear out of ink error, which cartridges to replace?

    If the normal cleaning cycle of the printer does not help to unclog the nozzles with the new cartridges you may do some flushing of the nozzles, there are plenty youtube videos posted showing how to do that like this one, this method works for most 4 or 6 color printers except some photoprinters...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I was trying to print an Epson T3100 setup guide on my current Canon TC-20 via the sheet feeder; it didn't print very well - I had to make a head cleaning at page 4 and 25 to get a clean printout. I don't know whether a Canon printer does not like to print Epson documents .........?

    Head cleaning

    If some pigment ink residue is building up slowly it takes a while until the problems become visible for the user. The pigment ink could be the culprit, and since regular cleanings don't help anymore you one way or another have to do a thorough printhead flushing, there are plenty of Youtube...

    Stylus Photo 1400. To clear out of ink error, which cartridges to replace?

    The 1400 is a color printer - not a b/w - monochrome printer, it needs all cartridges to print. It's up to you whether and how much you want to invest into a printer with an unknown status.

    Stylus Photo 1400. To clear out of ink error, which cartridges to replace?

    You aquired the printer but didn't the seller tell you what the actual status is of the printer ? Blank pages can mean several things - all nozzles are blocked - or the cartridges ran out of ink or there is another malfunction with the printer e.g. from prior repair attempts .You definitely need...

    P20000 circuit error message 1532

    I would assume that the repair guy had a maintenance manual with him, that is listing all error codes and the resp. fixes for the reported errors. If the problem comes up during the power on/start up phase it could be that a sensor is blocked or malfunctioning, Epson service manuals typically...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    There is a hard limit for papers which the TC-20 can handle - the thickness should not exceed 0,3 mm which excludes a range of specialty - FineArt - cotton based etc papers , and the printer does not support rolls with a core diameter of 3 inch which is quite typical for these specialty papers...

    I tested a special paper setting Nr. 5 on the TC-20 Canon printer - with the highest ink density, created a profile and created as well a profile for a Canon smatt 170 paper which I can select in the printer via the front panel, I'm using a photostudio Winkler smatt paper for both profiles.

    Epson 15000 Ecotank ink (102)

    How do you know - did you do any tests with those ? The keyed top of the bottle would prevent direct use on another printer, but you can swap these bottle heads. And the other question has been addressed as well -- dye vs. pigment black .
