Thanks Hat. I thought it was going to work because as I was reinserting the cartridges one by one it was recognizing each one of them including the one I am having trouble with - Cyan 98/99. It went down from 6 unrecognized to 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 1. And then when I put the last cartridge in and...
Any ideas? I got the seals (thanks Leonard!). I cleaned the carts and the contacts that the carts connect with. Cleaned the resting pad that the printhead sits on. Put the new seal in and turned the printer on - still get the same message - Cyan tank is not recognized. I am wondering if perhaps...
Is there any chance you have an external drive hooked up with lots of storage on it? Just wondering because whenever I have my external drive plugged in which has many many GB of photos on it - my printer will stop in the middle of printing and refuse to budge.
It took me awhile to figure out...
Thanks Leonard. As you suggested I am cleaning it out and letting it sit for awhile. Hoping that along with replacing the rubber seal I will get my Artisan back in order. I would love to keep using my trusty Piano Book and Artisan 710 - even while venturing out with the Canon Pro 100. That set...
What is 3er ink?
BTW - I did not use any of Mikling's profiles because I still have a combination of the original printer carts and the kit carts in the printer right now.
Yes - Hooray and thank-you to all. I believe I have a clear understanding now of what I purchased, what I have done so far, and what I can do going forward.
Much obliged! :woot
I'm still confused also but I take it that it is due to my ignorance of the entire topic. I received an email from Mike saying that the empty kit carts are better than refilling the Canon original carts that came with my printer because I can use the ICC profiles he offers and will get some...
One other question - the chips on the aftermarket refillable cartridges I purchased were not good chips right? I mean the directions specifically said to remove the chips from the empty cartridges and replace them with the chips from the OEM cartridges. What exactly are the chips that are on the...
Thanks. I guess i did not read all of the information on their website clearly enough. So now I have my original OEM cartridges which still have a little ink in the tanks and the fiber pads still plenty saturated - but with no chips because the chips are now on the aftermarket cartridges. Can...
I guess I did not understand this. I switched all my OEM chips over to the empty cartridges supplied by Precision colors. If I could have used my OEM carts why did the empty carts come with the kit? I am confused because the directions said to remove the chips and transfer them to the empty...
Here's a scan. I used Inkpress Linen Matte. Keep in mind - when I say "great" I am speaking as an ametuer/hobbyist. I make notecards to give to people and take pictures for my church etc. Nothing at the professional level.
I am just posting to announce that I just successfully refilled my first PRO 100 cartridges with Precision Colors kit. I reset the chips, transferred them from the OEM cartridges to the empty cartridges and then filled with ink. I ran a head clean, printed a nozzle check and just ran my first...
I'm pretty sure all the Artisan's are 6 color - 710, 725, 810, 835, 837 etc. - but they are all discontinued. I have had four or five 710's and have gotten a tremendous amount of use from them all with the Piano Book CISS. I'm actually considering buying one more even though I just purchased a...
Thank-you lonlab. I'm pretty sure this one is ready for the recycle bin. There seems to be another piece that is dysfunctional on the back of the printer.
I did get the printer that sprung a leak running again. I actually did not clean it that much - mostly just the resting pad. I found a piece...
You might contact Leonard John and see what he recommends. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful.
Do you use a continuous ink system or refillable cartridges? He provides both for that printer and many other Epson workforce and other printers.
How long will they guarantee the...
I have an old artisan 710 that I think would print fine but the lid of the printer containing the scanner has been disconnected completely with a scissors (the tape that connects the scanner to the printer) so even though I can set the lid on top of the printer it doesn't recognize it and says...
Wow - how wonderfully kind of you. Thank-you! I will probably not get a chance to work on it until Saturday but I will post the results and I hope to have success. I really appreciate these videos. :)
Thanks. It worked to print one page but I haven't tried it since because I figure it could be dangerous if there is ink around the electrical circuits. Maybe I can do a little more investigating now that it has been sitting for a day.
