Done too.

As promised, I show here how to refill a Picturemate cartridge. In this example a Picturemate 100 cartridge is refilled. Cartridges of other Picturemate models are refilled in the same way, but resetting the cartridge of the newer models may differ. First, find out how much ink is left in the...

That's why a make my coffee at home :) It can be compared with self refilling. My wife likes my coffee and also my photo prints. For my Epson I've got a set of 'UV resistant dye ink' bought by Linexport. The UV resistance can be compared with pre-Claria OEM ink, which is not bad. The Claria OEM...

PEBKAC ? Well, I was printing merrily and suddenly the paper wasn't picked up and led into the printer. The problem is mechanical. It must be a stepping motor or maybe only a broken belt.

Printer was bought in 2007. It may seem old, but it's not used much, my other printers are the working horses. Other printers that gave up the battle: -Epson D120 after two years. Printer stopped recognizing OEM cartridges -Epson B40W after three years. Faulty print head. My other previous...

Again one of my printers broke down. This time it's the paper transport that simply stopped working. Again it's an Epson, the R245. It's useless to repair a printer in that price class. I dumped it in the garbage container. Maybe we just can't expect much of cheap printers and should we go for...

The method can be useful for simple clogs, where only some nozzles were clogged. In cases where a whole color has disappeared the method is not safe. As Grandad stands, unclogging with the build in pump is better. Do you think too much ink is consumed in that way? Then fill the cartridges with...

Some manufacturers, like Canon, refuse to print a date on their cartridges. So they think their ink will stay fluid for ever. But Epson does print a date on their packages. That enables me to use very old ink, for instance 'best before 2007' It appears that that ink still can be used as if it...

Finally, I upgraded to Win7 home premium. A DVD with certificate was bought on Ebay and GO! The installation took quite some time, and then not everything worked properly: -Flash player crashed in Firefox -Truecript volumes were changed to read only -Almost every change in files had to be done...

A CIS or CISS is a system in which the ink reservoirs are placed outside the printer. Thin tubes in the shape of a ribbon cable connect the ink tanks with the print head. It's the best solution for people who print much. A CISS is not without problems, except with a Brother printer. A CISS for...

All printers can be refilled, but some are easier to refill than others! For the highest quality of prints Epson and Canon are recommended. Brother still has some printers without a chip in the cartridge; easy to refill and no resetting. The quality of Brother is somewhat lower than Epson and...

The best paper I've used is Ilford Galerie. Skin tones come out the best on this paper. It's not too white like most premium papers. Best results in B/W. I also use Epson premium glossy. It's a bit warmer overall and skin tones are nice. Some users find the paper too thin, it doesn't feel like...

Welkom.:pop (looks like South African but it's Dutch)

That is correct, Daniel. The chips on the cartridges is a nuisance for refillers. First you have to pay €1 extra per cartridge for the chip, then the printer stops working when the chip says the ink is finished. So if you go for an old Epson or Canon check the cartridges, do they have chips...

The Epson 880 is an all dye ink printer. So in the dried out print head there is only a residue of color salts that dissolves easily in new ink. Fill a new printer with dye ink and the result will be the same. The Epsons were strong in those days, but had a reputation of often nozzle clogging...

I finally received the new flash cards. On the photo left the dreaded PQI card, on the right a new industrial grade card. The camera only accepts cards with a maximum of 2 GB. The industrial grade card should be reliable. I noticed that the parallel connector is of much better quality. What...

The flash cards are not used for tong time storage but short time, in the camera. In this case All the photos of Easter got lost, but what if it was a wedding photo shoot? Ouch! With the large flash cards nowadays photos of the whole vacation fit on one card. Turbguy: I tried to repair the...

Again a flash card stopped working. This time it's a PQI compact flash card from the F1 series. So this is the third card in a short time that gave up the battle. Some weeks ago two cards from A-data broke. One 4 Gb compact flash card and one 4 Gb SD card. The last one lost its write protect...

When the printer stops printing because of out of ink, you can overrule this with a combination of buttons on the printer. The chip on that cartridge is then switched off. You can take out the cartridge, refill it and put it back as many times as you want. The chip remains on the cartridge. The...
