    Newer Epson chips

    Here is a vendor listing the chips you want: https://www.inkowl.com/inkjet/refillable-cartridges/epson/single-use-chip-for-epson-410-410xl-black-north-america/P8836/ However, I believe Epson won some court decisions preventing these chips fro being sold for use in the Untied States (OK in Canada...

    Ink supply companies

    That's very surprising news about inksupply.com. I bought a lot of stuff from them in 2017. They are also known as MIS Associates, Inc and I thought they had a good reputation on this forum too. When I was a customer everything arrived when it should, and I had questions answered by email and...

    Can I use T6641 ink instead of T7741

    Thanks for sharing that. It's interesting how Epson sometimes changes the numbers based on the region, and sometimes keeps them the same. For example the T664 inks appear to have the same T664 label numbers in North America and Europe ( T664120-S dye black in North America and C13T664140 in...

    Can I use T6641 ink instead of T7741

    Here are my test results. Viscosity is in centipoise (cp) at about 25C. Surface tension is in dynes/cm. T774120: 2.2 cp, 26 dynes/cm T664120: 2.5 cp, 29 dynes/cm T512201: 2.1 cp, 25 dynes/cm I'm not sure what to do with that data. 664 looks to be a little more viscous and have a slightly...

    Can I use T6641 ink instead of T7741

    I could measure the viscosity and surface tension of T7741 and compare those to T6641 if that would help. It would take a bit of time, so please let me know if you want me to get that data for you. If you did want to use T512 you'd need to work around the keyed cap design used on T512. T774...

    Best printer for hardware experiments?

    Here is a very interesting talk by a guy that might help you with the electronics aspect of your project: https://hackaday.com/2018/11/12/sprite_tms-magic-paintbrush/ What kind of resolution do you need (dots per inch)? There are industrial print heads available which have the disadvantages of...

    Help trying to solve blurry/double black text when only in the "Plain Paper" setting (using a photo paper setting comes out perfect)

    Your reasoning seems sensible. Is warping something that people have observed directly? Which parts warp, and what is their composition?

    How much ink does my canon ink cartage hold

    The original question about capacities has already been answered in previous posts but I wanted to summarize that PG-243 is the starter cartridge Canon supplies with new printers with 5.6 ml of ink. PG-245 has the same physical construction but is supplied with 8.0 ml of ink. Both would have...

    Suggestion for oil/grease-resistant paper for fortune cookie messages?

    It's been a long time since I made fortune cookies. I remember typing the fortunes on a manual typewriter. I don't remember the recipe but I see that some of the homemade and commercial recipes do not use an oil or butter. . Maybe the type of fat used would affect the amount of paper...

    Canon PGI-245 with Epson 664 BK ink

    Here's an update. The Canon MG2525 Printer with Epson 664 BK ink in a Canon PG-245 cartridge had sat unused with the power off since April 22 (12 days). I powered it up and printed one text page and one photograph in black only. The text looked fine but the photograph had some thin white...

    Here's what Brethericks's has to say. For those who aren't familiar, it's one of the most used references for chemical hazard information in chemistry labs. I'll let you read the actual entry below. Personally, I drink the stuff.🥤

    Can i use epson black ink to refill black ink cartridge for canon printer?

    Happening to have both chalk and cheese available, I went ahead and tried Epson 664 BK ink for refilling a Canon PG-245 cartridge. To my surprise, it's still looking fine after 100 pages of ISO test suite 24712, 150 pages of plain text, and a second refill. Here's the nozzle check after all...

    Canon PGI-245 with Epson 664 BK ink

    I wanted to see what would happen if I refilled a Canon PGI-245 black ink cartridge with Epson 664 black ink (Ecotank ink). First I did a pre-test to look for obvious chemical incompatibilities between the Canon and Epson inks. I withdrew ink from a Canon cartridge and an Epson bottle and...

    Can i use epson black ink to refill black ink cartridge for canon printer?

    Ouch! Are my viscosity and surface tension measurements wrong too? Would appreciate the correct values. I certainly do not know as much as some.

    Can i use epson black ink to refill black ink cartridge for canon printer?

    Sometime viscosity and surface tension can provide a clue as to whether inks are similar enough to be compatible or not. In my measurements Epson 664 Black has a viscosity of about 2.5 cp and a surface tension of about 29 dynes/cm. It looks as if the Canon Pixma ip2770 takes PG-810 ink? I...
