So, can the CIS systems with bottom tubes cause the problem I described (banding)? Whatever is going on, the problem always resolves, either by itself (if I leave the printer sit for an hour or so) or after a cleaning cycle. If there was sediment clogging the tubes, shouldn't the flow stop...

Sorry, forgot to mention that, yes, I'm using a CISS bought from CityInk (the feed tubes are on the bottom of the tanks if that matters).

I'm using a P50 with pigment inks, and I'm having this problem: whenever I have "high speed printing" (bidirectional printing) enabled, I get banding after about 10 consecutive prints. If I run a nozzle check right after it happens there are always some nozzles not firing (never the same, seems...

I'm also confused with the results. But the differential fading you mention looks to be exactly what's going on with the OEM ink (the magenta hasn't faded at all, and the yellow faded a lot), yet there is no overall magenta cast. The yellow patches of the OCP and the OCP+IS prints look very...

I'm using OCP inks designed for the Claria printers in a Brother MFC-J6510DW (the black, yellow and regular magenta and cyan from the claria set). Good gamut and no flow/clogging issues whatsoever. Definitely requires a profile though. Many printers can produce variable volume droplets, so not...

The fact that OCP inks fade evenly is probably what makes them look better than the other two, even though the individual inks probably faded as much as the other two. What's really disappointing is the fade characteristics of the yellow OEM ink, which faded the most out of the three (look at...

-All prints were made using the same paper. It's the paper most of the photo album makers around here use for printing wedding albums, it's pearl 260g properly coated paper. -The specific combination of inks (OCP + IS M/K), is because when I started using OCP inks I wasn't satisfied with the...

About a year ago I placed 3 prints in direct sunlight, one was made with an Epson 7900 using Ultrachrome HDR ink, the other with an R2000 using only OCP pigment inks and the third also with the R2000, using Black and Magenta from Image Specialists and the rest of the colours from OCP. That's...

Same here, except for one R2000 for which the printhead malfunctioned and one colour just doesn't print any more. As for the P50, it's a very robust printer. One of those I have has over 50000 printed pages by now (almost three times the expected lifetime according to Epson), and is still going...

Are the lines missing from the nozzle check test always the same or different after each cleaning cycle? If they are not the same (different parts appearing clogged each time) then there's something wrong with the CISS. Most of the times this happens to one of those I use it's either due to...

No magic, they probably keep track of the ink used for printing and cleaning (pretty straightforward, number of nozzles fired times the amount of ink per droplet, or something like that) and once it gets close to 70ml it prompts for a refill. I don't know if they can ship to your country, but...

I've seen one in use by a guy I know, I believe you don't need any serials to keep it going. When the printer "figures" the ink is getting low it prompts for refilling and you just have to confirm that you filled the ink tank, no serials involved. That's for an L200 though, I don't know for sure...

For some reason people get really confused when it comes to rendering intents, it's not that complicated, really. It's important to remember that the rendering intent selected will not affect the most saturated colour a printer can produce, it will only affect how the rest of the colours will...

The idea was to simply replace the colored inks of an already profiled inkset with shades of grey of the same density. I tried a different way of determining the ratios for the 1400 I used, you could do the same for the WF-7525: 1) print a few nozzle checks one on top of the other on photo...

Doing that you'll probably get more vivid magentas, reds etc, since the printer will be blindly using a vivid ink in the place of the regular ink. But that doesn't guarantee that all of the colours will improve, you may get brighter reds but worse blues for instance, like what happens when doing...

I haven't had any experience with that inkset, but if I understand it correctly, there are only three shades of neutral grey plus the GO and two shades for toning, therefore when printing a neutral image, only three inks will be used, right? So there's no advantage over using the three shades of...

That's an interesting question, and matching black to black shouldn't be as hard as matching to a coloured ink. Maybe someone using the piezo set can give it a try. An easy way doing that would be by placing the two bottles side by side and a flashlight on the back, and, starting with some...
