Thanks @The Hat for answering the question for me!:thumbsup I suggest giving him link(s) to the articles that technically explain the reason why. (I remember have read some, but forget to bookmark.) I have some sample printouts (texts and music notations) with dye black ink instead of pigmented...

Hi @rajivsamra ,just be very careful with Yes/No dialog box until the chip register itself as "Depleted" or "Empty", that's when no more complain is gonna annoy you! As for your unlucky Magenta cart, you can try it on another printer (which use the same ink cart number) to see if it works. By...

Some Epson use all pigmented ink => you need a photo paper that's happy with pigmented ink and piezo printing tech. Some Epson use all dye ink => you might use normal photo paper that's usually works well with all dye ink. Piezo printing tech may driff the color off a little bit.

Thanks for your info. ;) My laptop is quite old and it doesn't have any of those fancy things like UEFI, SSD or GPT. However, I still see Win 8.1 is a little bit faster than Win 7, on the old (not too old!) hardware config! In the future when I can afford an SSD then yes I may install one. My...

I tried Windows 8.1 also: HP does provide driver for HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525 for Win 8.1 64-bit. After install, I can see and use my printer in programs, in Device Manager, but in "Devices and Printer" my printer disappear! I need to open HP software, from there I can go adjust the...

Hi all, I just wonder that can I take the ARC auto reset chip for Epson Tx121 or T50 and install it on WF-3521? Is ARC chip kind of generic? Thanks.

Hi @rajivsamra , Don't worry when the printer say that you're using "refilled or counterfiet ink cartridge". The chip on HP 564/685 is not resettable, but the printer will let you continue to use your printer anyway. If there is any (should be 1 or 2 times when you are refilling and when the...

I'm trying Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine created by VirtualBox. To be honest, I wouldn't move to Win8 unless I get a touch screen. Win 8 UI is kind of designed for touching and wipping with fingers, not mouse...The UI is very fancy and nice, and performance is better...But...no! :D As a...

Thanks @The Hat ,:thumbsup I lack of many vocabulary specific in printer to fully explain myself. :he Nah, at that time both of my hands were full of ink :fl, and I don't want to paint my camera with pigmented-dye-mixed ink. :lol: Next time when it fall off again, I will try taking some...

Today, when I was changing the ink cartridges, I noticed something strange at the purge pad. With the help of a flashlight, I quickly noticed that the "plastic sweeper" (correct my English, please, someone?) used to sweep the ink out of the printhead surface was missing. My printouts in the last...

Thanks @ThrillaMozilla ;)

Could you please explain why? I'm just curious and would like the advice from your gold experience! :) (BTW, FYI, my needle is quite short, only ~0.75 inch)

Hi @Nifty , I'm a Java man. I know Java is an (very) old language, but it does a good job on helping me learn object-oriented programming concept. Most of my time in the university was spent on Java. Some was spent on C/C++, C# and some other languages. My lecture said that it's not important...

Tips: When using refill ink, I usually don't use Draft mode, everything except Photo is printed in Normal mode, Black Ink Only. (Color nozzles is prevented from clogging by either manually print nozzle check, or the printer will do a brief cleaning circle every...some times.) Draft mode do...
