It was that link to TechCrunch that Rob posted that started the discussion, where the company "saved $100k by dropping IE". But instead of just warning people IE probably won't work, I think the article reads more like the company "lost thousands, if not millions of potential customers by...

Most printers that have a separate printhead from the inks will have some kind of fluid in it to keep it from drying out though. You'll still have to flush that out. A Canon probably doesn't have much, an Epson would have more, and the Epsons that have their own "CSS-style" inks separate from...

I don't really agree with the final method in that website: Give a message that IE probably won't work right. But don't outright block the site from IE users. People may be on work/friends/relatives/whatever computers that they're not allowed to mess with. As much as I don't like Google, GMail...

For those with the XP/IE8 issues, I'm still on XP myself but it really really is starting to become nonfunctional at this point. I really hope to be able to get a few used Win7 machines soon (8 is a nightmare). I think 7 will become the new XP in that it takes forever to go away. If you want it...

I've been using Classic Shell to make Windows 8 look like 7 again. I don't like that Explorer now has a Ribbon like Office and no File/Edit menu so moving files around is a pain for anyone used to the other way. I think I'll be getting a used system with 7 to use at home.

Actually I was more interested in the Luster and Semi-Gloss papers. Anyone tried these in an Epson (specifically using Precision Colors inks!)

I have always been reluctant to install firmware on pretty much anything unless there is an actual problem that the firmware might solve. Otherwise it might introduce problems you didn't have before. It's not nearly as common for hardware to die due to a firmware upgrade as it used to be but it...

Would any of these work in an Epson with dye or pigment inks? Or are they pretty much Canon-compatible only?

Hmm, I guess I'll have find someone who has dye inks for this then. Killing me to toss the ink left over from the CIS but I don't want to have to buy new empty carts when I run out of pigment inks.

For more paranoia, Xerox copiers change numbers. http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning I remember hearing that inkjet printers also do the microdot thing but I could be wrong.

The only thing I like about the 1100 is the speed of printing. Even with refills, it's relatively expensive to run it as pigment, but I like to have black/text printing as pigment, so I was thinking of using dye for the colors instead which seems to be the compromise HP came up with ages ago...

After dealing with various issues that have kept me from maintaining my printers (worried about the 1400 w/pigment sitting for 5 months now...) I want to try to get the Workforce 1100 up and running. Has anyone tried using this one with black pigment and dye color (like HP printers) together? If...

I have the clear ones from Inksupply so I don't use these - I use them for glue and epoxy injection in other projects. http://www.cmlsupply.com/dispensing-needles-syringes/plastic-tapered-needles.html I bought a multi-pack of every metal and plastic needle they have, but if I wanted just...

I noticed their website's knowledge base doesn't work anymore and many webpages now have some kind of reference to Cobra somewhere in the title/URL/source code/etc. I'm curious as to what's going on over there.

In my experience Epson DuraBrite printers are awful for anything other than very fast office printing where color reproduction is not an issue. They are terrible at reproducing bright blues, so even for non-photo printing, if you have bright blue colors in your logo it may be inadequate. Part of...

I used to print CDs on my R220 with pigment inks all the time. Never really noticed a problem.

Artists sign original paintings right on the artwork all the time. While the border is useful for not cutting anything off while matting and framing, I think it comes down to personal preference as to where to put the signature. Sometimes I see it on the border, sometimes on the artwork, and...

The other problem is that many sprays are not "flexible". Even the ones that are are "flexible" not to crack when used on something like canvas that might change size over time. Not flexible enough to stand up to a 13 x 19 flopping about until you get it framed. So if you do spray it, make sure...

That's not really what I was asking... I have ink from IJC but since I refuse to ever buy from them again I won't be getting more. If I use that ink, which I have a lot left of, in the new cartridges I bought, are there any other brands of ink that I can use that won't be chemically incompatible...

I don't have my 1100 hooked up, so I can't look at the actual settings. Leave the color controls on Epson Vivid, but I think your biggest problem is using Semi-Gloss. Use Matte.
