    L1800 mainboard in Epson 1430

    UPDATE: L1800 Mainboard arrived and in test machine all seems to work. Modified is the board for the control Buttons. There are some additional cables at bottom side. But attention: Epson changed the board design for newer 1500W, so the new main boards are smaller (first pic CB53MAIN-B) and the...

    After a second printing/cleaning session with cleaning fluid, the Printer works again :-) Thanks. @ websnail: i use only original inks of Epson and Fujifilm and these inks are developed for such a printhead. But who knows, now it is working :-) I will see, how long...

    Artisan 1430/ Photo 1500W: blurred prints, but 100% clog free; satellite drops

    Maybe it build up slowly over the last hundreds pages, but i just noticed it. I used cleaning cartridges with OCP cleaning fluid and printed a lot of sheets. I already cleaned the timing strip and made this a second time. And with 6 cleaning cycles (light Magenta was clogged after cleaning...

    Artisan 1430/ Photo 1500W: blurred prints, but 100% clog free; satellite drops

    Attached 2 crops, scanned with 600 dpi. I use a CISS with Epson Ultrachrome D6-S/Fujifilm DL. The Problem show up after ~ 5-6.000 Sheets and is permanently. Printing Resolution makes no difference (also bidirectional), only the horizontal lines in printouts are a little bit less visible.

    Need advice on refilling large format HP printers

    A lot of views, but no answer... I can help a little bit. The vivera inks in Z6100 and Z2100 are the same, also to the other Z-modells. I have an Z3200 and use the original Z6100 cartridges for refilling without problems. So i see no special risk. But if there is a risk, the printheads are...

    Epson 3880 help needed asap

    i can imagine two scenario: you filled the wrong cartridge or because of handling some ink cames out of the printhead and contaminated cyan nozzles. do you print a pattern check, so you know it is definitely the cyan color? So print some cyan filled sheets and the contamination will be flushed out.

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    So it is the paper, not the ink. Cast coated paper is a swelling paper only for dye ink. For pigment ink you need exigent microporouse (resin) paper. Otherwise you will get only gray instead of deep black. Try it and you will be surprised.

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?
