And they had to move to a new, smaller space. The whole block from Central all the way to Costco was flattened. No idea what they will build there.

In an imaginary world, you could report that you had to fix the device yourself, and you get a discount from the vendor and he would soon improve the quality of the device for future customers. I have not been able to get this type of flexibility from Amazon though. In the Amazon world, i would...

Thanks a lot for re-summarising. It would be great if this could get a sticky pin, so that it wouldn't get lost in history over time and as necessary you could update/amend the first posting so it becomes an FAQ. And there would be fewer repeated newbie questions. :hide Things i was missing...

All those different reports about experience ink vs printer vs paper vs. fading can be quite overwhelming, so its nice to find simple to show reasons for why some option is better than another. And from which you can extrapolate and test. The scotch tape test persuades me that i want paper...

I That is the english translation of the epson service manual language :he

Thanks for digging up those epson/canon URLs! And for ISFs response putting those into perspective. Here is the holy grail: The universal ink for every printer. Probably the ink with the highest search engine performance :lol: https://www.toner.de/Universaltinte+Magenta.htm

Very interesting. Too bad that the black is not useable on borderless prints. Otherwise it might have been a good A4 CISS printer choice with pigment inks.

Bought a service manual from 2manuals.com, but it was impossible to figure out from it how to get the print head out of parking position without power, and the parts surrounding the power supply where secured with a screw that is only reachable when the print head is not in the parking position...

Hah: https://www.printerknowledge.com/attachments/black-patches-jpg.4470/ https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/which-pigment-ink-for-epson-1500w.9323/page-19#post-92483 That scotch tape was the proof for "rear protection works" i was looking for. Fascinating!

Thanks a lot, ISF. Lots of great stuff. After reading your explanation and that german page, i tried to scratch off the surface of the kirkland and print4life with a knife. On the print4life i was left with white powder and then directly paper (paper easy to recognize by putting ink on it). So...

Thanks, ISF. If i manage to repair the one XP610 here that doesn't want to turn on, i might try it with pigment ink, and my XP900 will probably get fotonic ink. I am not quite sure about resin vs. cast coated high gloss photo paper. What difference would i have to expect on the printing side ...

Nice. How did you create the 3D models ?

Btw: totally not interested to waste space on a 3D printer as long as the HW technology is still evolving so quickly that any investment is obsolete in 2 years. But very interested in learning more about tooling to create 3D prints that i can then get printed at a 3D shop. I have done this in...

Is UK still part of Western Europe ? ;-) Only sold online directly from Canon in Western Europe: store.canon.co.uk Have not seen any article showing print quality. Might be good for photos up to A4 because they support borderless, but: CISS printer for users with high page count requirements...

Or i find a USA seller of spare parts that has parts lists like those on GEDAT and i can compare. Hence my original question. But i think the USA Epson organization seems to like throw-away and replace. I'll call up that authorized support shop and ask him - if nobody here knows ;-)

The labels on the outside of the Epson XP series printers explicitly indicate 230V on european models and 110V on the US models. I have yet to find a destruction free way to experiment if those labels are wrong.

ISF: GEDAT is in Germany. Shipping to the USA is typically killing the price. And this is for a US Epson printer the power supply (110V). Pretty sure GEDAT would not even have that. Hat: I few years back i was stumbling across a conference where they where showing all type of new methods to...

Any recommendations for spare parts vendors for Epson XP (Experience Premium) in the USA ? Google pops up with european or UK ( ;-) ) vendors and the few american ones i found didn't show XP series, but only older series parts.

Your arguments "trust the OEM" sounds a bit like "If you buy from Microsoft you won't get fired if it doesn't work" (from my line of work). Only that i do not believe it. If i where to sell prints i should have some better argument to my customers than "i trust the OEM (but they really only tell...

I have not tried to search the marketing material of Canon/Epson, etc.: All i have seen reported here on the forum is that they make claims about eg: 30++ years fade resistance for inks. But do they make actual statements about the differences in fade resistance based on which of THEIR papers...
