    Watch out: dangerous firmware upgrade HP printers rendering 3rd party cartridges useless

    @The Hat, maybe not, true... but I think there have been many other times, from my reading past posts, that it seemed 'impossible' to refill and someone found a way. I think it will be this way for many years to come, at least.

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    Ok, let's submit another for this week. This is a juvenile Osprey taking its maiden flight, at the Cape May Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Cape May, NJ earlier this year. I watched the family for two consecutive evenings, a total of about 6 or so hours. He practiced and practiced until he finally...

    Watch out: dangerous firmware upgrade HP printers rendering 3rd party cartridges useless

    Here's another thought (@mikling )... The future doesn't require ink cart chips. They will not be needed when your printer is jailbroken. A jailbroken printer will allow pretty much anything, and have very few limits. Far fetched? It's already been done, to allow a 3D printer to use cheap...

    Watch out: dangerous firmware upgrade HP printers rendering 3rd party cartridges useless

    The annoyance is that of being unable to trust your own equipment. We no longer control our own computers/phones/etc., and haven't for quite a while... We may think or feel as though we are in control, but look closely and you will see, it is a very thin veil. Sure, you can firewall program...

    I did a very stupid thing on my 1400

    Paul, that was not 'stupid'... it was human.

    Something that has come to my Attention.

    You shouldn't even trust attachments or links from people you know... Spoofing an email address is easy. Google "snapchat salary phishing" and "Spear Phishing"

    No more refillables allowed on larger Epsons?

    Maybe I have it all wrong, but if there's money to be made by figuring out how to fool the printer into using non-genuine, someone will figure it out.

    Canon 7D Mk II

    I admit, I have not read the whole thread... I use a 7D and 7D mk2, ready with different lenses, and both are very capable. For what I shoot, the 1.6 crop factor on both is a plus, for greater reach. The additional auto focus abilities of the mk2 are awesome, and the super quite shutter mode...

    Refill the lot, instead of running a cleaning cycle!

    I have been happy two avoid full cleaning cycles, when there are a few missing lines on the nozzle check, by refilling the inks instead. I have an R2000, but this probably works for others. I run a nozzle check every time before I print, and on more than one occasion, I've had a couple of...

    Printer Calibration?

    I have had great results with the colormunki, and to me, the cost for the freedom to use any paper/ink combo (reasonably) is worth it.

    Reliable Refills/System for R2000

    I have an R2000 and have been using Inkjetfly, although I did profile with colormunki. I am very happy with the results. I purchased a set of "rwtf" dampers from inkjetcarts, but they are not reset whenever. Still, they have been working quite well and I smile every time I refill them. I like...
