    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...

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

    You see a low ink reminder telling you to replace the marked cartridges which will go empty pretty soon - 'You may continue printing' as the Low ink reminder states but the screen requesting to replace yellow and light magenta came just a few inkdrops later , and you cannot continue printing at...

    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...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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. The...

    Epson 15000 Ecotank ink (102)

    Sorry, but I have swapped dye Ecotank inks between printers without problems at all .

    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 .

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    There is a very long media list from which you can pick one - and even about 5 different film/foil type materials, the surface of those won't absorb the solvent of the ink so the overall ink load should be reduced , and this can be tested with these special media types if the standard settings...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    There is as well a Canon TA-20 24" printer apparently pretty similar to the TM-240, but it's for me not an ink issue or similar, it's the overall interface of the printer/driver intelligence with the user which I don't get along with. I would assume that other similar Canon printers overall...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    Yes, I use cotton gloves to handle that glossy paper. I went through various submenues and disabled various options like scew detection - left edge detection and more of those , none explicitly state that they deactivate the paper length identification but one does - I could load a 2" glossy...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    My printer can send you an e-mail in case of problems as part of its 'intelligence'; I even can define that this should happen at 1 m or 2 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 10m before the end of the roll. Thanks for trying to help me - I'm coming to the conclusion that part of the problems are stemming from...

    Epson 15000 Ecotank ink (102)

    No ,most likely not - there could be a difference with the black inks - pigment vs. dye inks, the Epson pigment black is only active via the driver for normal/matte papers. The other inks may deliver the same color tone and saturation but not the same longevity/long term stability/UV resistance.

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work, not at the last time already. The printer remembers error conditions over unplugged power off conditions over night and tells me that I didn't shut off the printer correctly and starts some internal action for 5 minutes until I can make the next attempt...

    Epson 15000 Ecotank ink (102)

    ??? - anyway - you can unscrew the top of the bottles with some force and swap them over to the other bottles.

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I'm pretty much coming to an end with this TC-20; I printed yesterday some inages and turned the printer off in the evening. Turning it on this morning the printer moves the paper back and forth a few times and tells me that there is a paper jam - no - there isn't , and the paper does not want...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I had some time over the last weeks to print and use the TC-20 printer - the print quality as already mentioned above is good - no problems with banding - the gamuts as tested on various papers - with the GI-53 dye inks instead of the PFI-050 pigment inks - are very good and comparable with the...

    Epson L805 printer performance

    I just changed the waste ink pads on my L805 - photo 6 inks A4 - the first time after 51 788 pages with lots of images - probably 8000 - 10 000 A4 - on temporary display and give away at a dancing school. I'm running the printer with the Epson 106 inks, access to the waste bin is quite easy -...

    ArgyllCMS 875-patch printer profile with i1Pro 2

    I checked the 875-target.tif mentioned above, the file shows a total of 4398 unique colors and not just 875, there are additional colors as borders between the color patches. Could you please recreate the target sheet with all borders set to black, I like to see if and how the 9x9x9 3D matrix...
