    Hi from the Netherlands

    "Recon" is not a comforting word. Mechanical/material properties (tensile/yield/elongation/hardness/fatigue strength/toughness) are important, or you have a crankshaft that barely gets you around the block...

    Hi from the Netherlands

    Can these printed parts duplicate (or exceed) the mechanical properties of, say, a FORGED crankshaft??

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    I was only able to capture a video of the Big Boy, which was double-headed with UP's 844 (the "Living Ledgend", never retired) on the way from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike! It's wonderful that the Union Pacific has seen fit to spend the...

    Pro-100, want to use 3rd party inks, what's next?

    1. Use ONLY OEM (Canon) CLI-42 carts for refilling. CLI-8 carts can be used (they are physically identical), but you will have to swap the CLI-42 chip(s) onto the CLI-8 cart(s) 2. You will require a chip resetter. 3. DO NOT REFILL the OEM yellow cart without cleaning it out VERY THOROUGHLY, or...

    CLI-42 cleaning fluid

    The bottom line...the most active ingredient in any print head cleaner is.. WATER! Water is a very aggressive substance! Particularly when very pure. It dissolves ROCK! If you have a print head with greasy deposits, use Ammonium Hydroxide. If you have hard mineral deposits, use Vinegar...

    CLI-42 cleaning fluid

    One "active" ingredient in Origional Windex is Ammonium Hydroxide. Original Windex has a pH of about 10.7 (at 25 degrees C). There's more to Original Windex... Here's EVERYTHING that's "in it": Windex® Commercial Glass Cleaner (Original Windex) Ingredients Water Provides a liquid base for...

    Silver Bullet for clogged printheads

    I did not recognize that there were multiple images attached to your post, and "focused" on the first one. While clogging/blocking can occur on Epsons, this type of issue can also be caused by air-binding (air in the nozzle chambers rather than ink), particularly if the nozzle check "varies"...

    Silver Bullet for clogged printheads

    IMO, It does not appear that any colors are "blocked". The brown(?) bar on the left side probably should be in shades of grey, like the top-most stripe. Please post a nozzle check print instead of the "test" print.

    So, what would be the best printer for refilling today...

    Stay with Precision Colors.

    Canon MX495 - Prints Pink - Nozzle Test Misses 1 Color Stripe

    It appears that the dark band of cyan is totally missing. Yet the light bad is printed. This could be a "electronic error" with the motherboard.

    Epson ET-2750 New Not Printing

    Keep an eye on that printer! If it did not work "out of the box", quite possibly there is an undiscovered issue with continued reliable printing. Perhaps not. Use it, a lot! Particularly before the warranted period runs out.

    Business card paper types

    I cannot detect the perforations, once separated, on high-quality products. I'd recommend you give it a try...the results are very satisfactory, IMO.

    Business card paper types

    Staples, WalMart, and other "fine" office supply stores sell pre-perforated paper just for this purpose, using an Avery template for Word. I use this card stock from these suppliers all the time! The papers are designated for either Inkjet or Laser printers. Choose wisely...

    Ink Carts showing full even when empty

    Unexpected "programming". Why not just leave the sensor active at all times (including a 'sensor test target' on the carriage to confirm it's always working) rather than "delay" it's rather important function??

    Ink Carts showing full even when empty

    Strange that the prism system doesn't trip an out of ink warning. Perhaps something is blocking the sensor??
