I told my wife this morning at breakfast, I need a holiday or something. As you age, you or your partner needs attention to health issues if it is not one thing it is another. Time is short, really short. A day passes quickly, I don't need to travel to the shop, I am in it within 5 minutes from...

It's not a joke. I had a fellow forum member purchase a used R2880 and ship it to my city to get another R2880. I needed it for product development and it HAD to conform to factory specs. There are times when an Epson is called for principally for the piezo head but I have the whole gamut of...

I took the printer in, and then questioned about whether they would perform the second step and then there was a quizzed look on their face. They had never done it and did not understand why it was necessary. Then I had to explain. Then we checked what they were issued by Epson to maintain. The...

Also the Pro-1000 has a densitometer for a reason. I've been through the terrible inability of Epson to restore my R2880 when it needed service and they admit they are unable to do it in North America and possibly most other places. Their authorized techs did not even know about that step nor...

Why bother with that when the Pro-1000 will do that for you automatically with one click. Just remember to use Canon reference calibration stored in memory or create a custom one to store. That takes care of slight ink variations, paper variations and printhead wear. It performs recalibration...

And did you know that after replacement of a printhead or mainboard on an Epson machine EPSON AUTHORIZED service center and refurb units are unable to make the adjustments you describe. There is actally a step that was missed. The piezo is non linear and its characteristics vary from unit to...

congrats

It may not make a mess depending on how much drips out. Even if you are fast enough, and a few drops ooze out, the priming cycle might clear the mess out or the cross contamination that may result if the droplets creep across to the other channel. I see no advantage involved in situ except for...

Some might be wondering why did Epson leave some sort of refilling open in the EU? yet shut it down twice in NA with clearly premeditated thoughts of countermeasures. Stronger consumer rights in the EU is the most likely reason.

I am going to explain further about the chip. Each chip now has a UNIQUE serial number or key. In the past there was simply data denoting the color on the chip and model of the chip and ink level. All that the printer was seeking was correct color, model of cartridge and the ink level. So when a...

It could be windows itself! Back then it was Win7. I'm a 10 now! ................................Windows, not looks.

And......I had given up on printing with wireless on Epson a few years ago because the problem of low print speed existed after trying three different routers...text or large text files were OK. It appeared to be a buffer problem as small images were OK. I suspect it was a protocol issue as to...

Notice the cost of the chip is about the same as a new cart? Why bother switching chips and fiddle. Then there are prefilled units for less than the cost of one cart. Why bother with refilling when for pretty much the cost of the chip you can get these...

The P800 retains the serial numbers of all chips presented to it and even remembers the levels it last saw. On the 3800/80 this memory was not very deep, like only one deep, so when another one was presented, it would push out the prior one FIFO. So if you alternated maintenance tanks, and reset...

Though it uses the same tank, the P800 has that wonderful thing called MEMORY and lots of it. The 3800 had little of it and this you could easily flush the older contents with a FIFO move on one chip. Not so on the P800. I tried it. Now that is on the North American P800. The EU P800 is not...

A large amount of ink loss on the Pro-100 is still a LOT LOT LESS than a normal head cleaning on an Epson! If you were using OEM ink, then that might be a real concern but when refilling, it really is nothing to really worry about especially when used in conjunction with a resetter. Relax and...

The new reality is that for most desktop printers, ARC type or resettable chips are HISTORY. There are one time chips available. However, for Epsons, you must change the chip for each cart.You might be able to find hacked firmware to make the printer chipfree but when you run out of ink on a...

Electronic failure is also a possibility. If you like this printer, consider a repair because these are no more and there is nothing in the Epson offering that truly replaces it.
