I started torture testing the XP15000. Let me say this. Canon is the master at paper handling. No if and or buts at this time. The XP15000 does not handle media as well as Canon with its precision and no hassles. With the newer Pro-200 and Pro-300, Canon has promised even better than the older...

Once you empty any amount of tanks, you will be penalized by having to reintialize to dump ink. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING in these printers with the remote tanks and tubes is no NEVER lose prime. Once you do, you are in a deep deep hole. Aftermarket tank chips only EMULATE the signals to...

You have a mechanical problem of some sort that is affecting all channels. This is not an ink problem at all. Before we start, remove each one of the tanks and verify two things on each. 1. the vent plug on each tank is removed. Not the refill plug. 2. That each tank is primed appropriately...

First let's take a look at this machine https://epson.ca/For-Home/Printers/Photo/Expression-Photo-HD-XP-15000-Wide-format-Printer/p/C11CG43201 Take a note of this : Note: This printer is designed for use with Epson cartridges only, not third-party cartridges or ink.* See Important Ink Info...

Post a nozzle check. Show pictures of the setup.

No it is not a universal ink. In the New Year, I will post a basic series of profiles for this categiry of printer because some people have asked for it. This Maxify has been in use for over 6 years now. I am unable to comment on the chips for the 2200.

Hello Stratman I have now become skeptical of ALL aftermarket vendors ( especially those on Ali something) when it comes to electronic chips as well as chipless software. Recent experiences and the latest when someone reported to them that the x8x series was resettable or ARC illustrates the...

There is something to consider about opening the printer lid too often, A lot depends on your cycle of useage. Now suppose, you were purchasing OEM tanks and purchasing the regular tanks and not XL. Well if you calculate the replacement cycle, you will find that you will likely be opening the...

The drip in the sponge is essentially kind of futile. Eventually ink will leak out of the vent holes in due time if you fill too much and it will also start developing air pockets inside if you drip too quickly. The printer does not know anything at all nor can it detect. The chip carries an...

We don't know because we can't really tell the reason why they chose those particular channels. It's all a question of tradeoffs based on hardware, the bus width, printhead design, microprocessor capabilities and the inks themselves. As I have shown, the PB is used in a lot of the midtones to...

OK, you are running a CISS. The document scanner is crushing the line at some point and choking it. Obvious solution. Go find the chokepoint, run you finger along the line and feel for a depression.

So guess where PB is being used? One side is missing PB so that reveals where PB being used. Pretty straightforward.

Blue and PhotoBlue always look very saturated. Now called (Violet maybe?) Remember the R800 was pretty much the same as the R2400 in hardware. The print firmware was the difference. Two different markets to achieve two different end results. The pricing was also different as well....for two...

I think the engineers can add any combination of CMY or two to dial in the required results to a channel. If they feel they need more control in a given area for a given ink combination they can do it. Don't forget, that part of this addition of channels isn't necessarily always to improve the...

What I have coming for the Epson XP15000 is going to be great news. I've defeated Epson in some critical areas! Well combined with third party firmware, this is a printer to watch!

You can read more about the 28x series here https://www.precisioncolors.com/C6Ec.html https://www.precisioncolors.com/C6EcReset.html These 6 tank machines are quite capable photoprinters and to support that function I also made some nice profiles for them to get top notch results...

With the introduction of the named printers, Canon introduced PhotoBlue into these printers in the 6 tank models replacing the Gray ink in prior models. Some had thought that this was to extend the Blue range, In fact Canon does hint or not at this when you read the marketing text. In fact...

In NA the 581 is called 281.

On this and prior generations in the x5x,x7x,and x8x, after the first empty, the printer will give you second chance to continue to print for a few more pages after removal and replacement. After this reprieve, then you will need to disable ink monitoring. So called permanent chips on these...

At one time when the 100s were rebated heavily, printheads could be found for as low as 50-60 ish on ebay. Now those times are done because parting out no longer makes sense as rebates are no more and the 100 is now discontinued and the ones left are at full retail.. Ebay could still be a source...
