    How is ink level determined?

    Accessibility. A serial eeprom requires that you essentially start at the beginning and work your way, "bit by bit," to the end. Your keychain USB device allows you to access data by address. Old school vs today...

    How is ink level determined?

    A serial eeprom is a storage device. Essentially it is the chip that keeps being referred to when the location of the ink volume is being discussed. It's important in this discussion only to say that the data content is permanent across removal and reinsertion of the cartridge, I.e., the...

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    I know a story about a duck. It costs more than 2 cents and doesn't end well for the duck...

    How is ink level determined?

    That makes little sense. It is more reasonable to set the chip to FULL. I base my assumption on the CPU instructions for a test for zero as a result of a decrement operation versus a comparison and then test for equality. It's an optimization thing.

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    It doesn't say what you want it to. It simply says that ink flows through the print head. Your assumption is equivalent to stating that because there is data in a file it does not have a virus.

    The prism doesn't matter. It's a fail safe device.

    3D printed house in Copenhagen

    Yeah, but you've still got to assemble the printer with that silly tool... :fl

    How is ink level determined?

    Pretty close to how I would implement it, @Tin Ho . When you reset the chip it gets loaded with FULL. Each time you print with that cart you lower the volume. When the volume reaches EMPTY, you stop printing. The mirror mechanism is a fail safe that is used to indicate ALMOST_EMPTY at which...

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    Without knowing 1) what as done and 2) what "this" is, there is nothing to explain.

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    I agree with @Roy Sletcher and @mikling : you need to reduce the number of variable parts in your testing. You've got too many moving pieces to be able to pinpoint the issue you are having. For example, if you currently have PC ink loaded, pick a paper and print an image allowing the printer to...

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    I really don't think you want to edit a profile. But in case I'm wrong, here's where you possibly start: http://www.color.org/icc32.pdf or if you're looking for tools try: http://www.color.org/profilingtools.xalter . You can also do it with Photoshop maybe: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/373912...

    Printer Suddenly Shut Off

    I wish I would have known that you should by these things in pairs when I bought mine!

    How is ink level determined?

    My take on it is that the driver talks to the printer about ink levels. The printer uses a very sophisticated estimation method that I would call "informed guessing." Given that the printer knows the capacity of the cartridges and it knows when it uses a color, it just subtracts from the full...

    Always this messy?

    Gotta agree with Roy, if it works don't fix it. But as an engineer, it can always be better... So, does the print match the monitor? If not, adjust the monitor brightness/luminance, recalibrate, and recheck. Mucking about with adjustments in the editing and print driver will, that's will, fail...

    Always this messy?

    Since you have a colormunki, make your own profiles. Use the ink and paper you intend to use. The paper matters, just like the ink. Make no corrections to the test images you have. Print them with the printer managing colors or with the appropriate profile for the paper and ink combination...

    Always this messy?

    The first, at least, print you get when switching inks is going to be off. You're dealing with a combination of inks and who knows what that's going to produce. An hour is most likely not enough drying time for the true colors to appear. Give the ink time to fully dry.

    Always this messy?

    The Lightroom print darkness control goes from -100 to +100. As far as I've been able to find out that is exactly what it does. Nowhere have I been able to link it with a "precise"effect. This is a "buy before you try" deal and you need to remember the level of flavor you added.

    Epson wf1100 clog or air restriction

    How long were the cartridges out of the printer before you reinstalled them? If they were out "too long" there may have been some ink drying.
