I printed on Sihl with the default IJC inks and it came out fine. But I used Matte paper mode, not Semi-Gloss or Glossy. That doesn't mean he changed the ink he sends now, though.

I have a large amount of ink 000 jet 000 carts pigments for my WF 1100 leftover from the junk CIS that I bought for it. I bought regular refillable #68 carts from MIS. While I would prefer not to throw out the IJC ink, if I use it in these carts, once I run out I don't know whether ink from...

The OP is trying to create waterproof vinyl decals. I make them myself with the same kind of vinyl (Sihl is the only truly highly water resistant outdoor vinyl that works with inkjets, though you still need an overlaminate for long term use). Pigment ink is required for this application so the...

I have a dye and a pigment 1400, both with IS ink. I only have the dye for glossy printing, especially on papers like Red River's metallic paper. Kind of disappointed in the IS dye results vs Claria. Room fluorescent lighting has a decent amount of UV in it so unless it's under archival glass...

After getting another ad from Staples for a different paper I'm curious as to whether or not there's any physical difference in the myriad of 20 lb printer papers available. "Copy" "Multipurpose" "Office", the only difference on the packaging being the brightness, and even then most of them are...

I think I was thinking about MIS Autoprint, which is no longer on their website. Their Knowledge Base is no longer working and the website looks revamped, but mostly just the colors. I also notice that the new page names for CIS on MIS' website have the word cobra in them. Wonder if they have...

Tossing all keywords I used to search into the title. I thought there was a third party utility for Epsons that let you schedule a weekly or daily print job (or nozzle check) to prevent clogging but I can't remember the name of it.

Even for pro photographers, how many clients are actually going to notice? I think unless you're printing a display for other photographers to see that most people have no clue nor do they care how perfect your profiles are as long as the prints look acceptable. :rolleyes: Even worse is hearing...

Let's try to come up with the most complicated idea involving printers ever and see what happens when The Hat tries it! :pop

I spent a long time fighting with it and they even had me buy new parts since they kept blaming me. Nothing ever worked. I wasted a lot of money on junk. I'd been buying from them for over six years and this was the first problem like this I ever had but they just kept telling me it was entirely...

At least yours worked for awhile. Mine leaked out the edges of the dampers and the ones that didn't, I'd come back to work in the morning and find the carts drained into the waste tank. Since they wouldn't admit to any fault, I had to throw it all away. I bought new inks and carts from...

One video I've seen they used superabsorbant spill pads for it. These are usually sold only as an industrial product and not in regular stores, though I have seen them in automotive stores for oil spill cleanup. You need to make sure the pads you buy can absorb water based products too. Some can...

The problem is some people didn't know they were supposed to do this, bought a used printer, or decided not to do it even though they knew they should. The syringe suggestion was because there's a point when the pads can't absorb any more and there have been reports of printers leaking ink when...

You may want to research the laser printers you're looking at and see how much refilled cartridges cost. I've found that buying refilled cartridges isn't really any more expensive than doing it yourself. Laser self-refilling businesses seem to run on the idea that it's "slightly cheaper" not...

Hasn't anyone figured out where to cut a hole in a printer with a hot knife so you can just take a 60ml or larger syringe with some aquarium tubing and drain the tank (for those of us who either didn't do it, or bought a used printer?) yet? Maybe even big enough so you can get the pads out with...

Everyone loves the Staples Photo Plus 8.5 x 11 double-sided matte but the other common free-after-rebate sale these days is the 4 x 6 Photo Plus Glossy. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with this? Using an Epson 1400 with IS dye ink (Precision Colors) and an R340 with OEM ink (until I run...

It could be a result of changing the hardware and the OS in a way that eventually corrupted too many files, or it could be that virus that changes the permissions on all your files. You may want to run a deep scan with Malwarebytes and if that doesn't work, try a HijackThis analysis over on one...

Well my main question that I think didn't get through is how much does it "change" things. If I use a luster or satin paper I don't necessarily want it to be glossier. Or change the look of a very expensive paper like faux metallic. I'm kind of on the fence about whether or not to use pigment or...

Has anyone used this on papers other than standard glossy? Semi-gloss/glossier satins/metallic/pearlescent/whatever photo papers? Does it make duller gloss papers like Epson's 3/4 star or other mid-level papers glossier than they were before they were glopped?

Great, now I can't decide whether to get my Workforce 1100 up and running as a business printer again or to convert it into a gloss coater and change the dye 1400 into a heat set pigment printer. Thanks guys for giving me even more things to think about instead of actually doing anything. :barnie :P
