Supplementing the discussion on dpreview concerning the priming of the 'littlefoot' 3880 carts I posted the following' I have re-reviewed the discussion concerning purging and tested the following successfully: For the Epson 38xx 'littlefoot' carts: 1) Remove only the refill plug, hold the...

As a long term user pf OCP inks I checked out the 2nd listing, it is the new updated upgraded site. And they are listing 4,8,16 oz bottles of ink. For my Canon Pro9000 MKII, I note that the 16 oz bottles dropped about 10% and the 4 and 8 oz size are more convenient and quite less expensive than...

Having just opened this Pandora's box I suggest the community get the details of this intrusive 'auto update feature' upfront and out to the users. 1: What present Epson (and others) printers are known to contain these charming features? How can we detect their presence? 2: What does it take...

I would further expect that the accordion would actually function as a pump similar to the footpumps used to inflate a rubber raft or plastic mattress. The user, with his foot steps o the 'accordion' compressing and forcing air into the raft. When the foot is raised, a checkvalve in the...

You may very well be more correct than you thought. In a PM with another member I brought up this topic I noted as stated below. On the InkRepublic site, in this location: http://www.inkrepublic.com/members/josephbertony/review.asp Joeseph Bertony (Australia http://www.windconcepts.net)...

From my Nikonians group I came across a review discussion about the 3880, the topic of max print length arose and this link was presented. The following is my response to post: http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/04/why-i-love-my-epson-3880.html Just finished...

Pharmacist: Excellent preliminary report. First class! Most illuminating because the chipset on my Inkjetfly 3880 Evaluation cart set-- 'normal size' (smallfoot) requires all 9 OEM chips. I'm quite certain that this new chipset style will work on the IJF 'smallfoot' carts--and definitely...

Pharmacist, having no other way to verify that you received a PM sent by me 2 days ago I'm posting my question here. Have you received a PM from me?? If so can you respond to my email address given in the PM? regards irv weiner

You guys are late for the party!! DEHYDRATED INK JUST ADD WATER AND PRINT!!!! irv weiner

GOOD LUCK!!! irv weiner

Agreed. That is a superb drawing--even fooled my cat. Can you post a larger image for us and/or email one to me. My cat is BLK and is very difficult to photograph, much less print properly. Yes I do use the 2 oz sqzr's from Howard's. I think the pack of 10 with 3 different gauge needles per...

Tell your lovely cat (my cat, strolling across the desk just noticed him/her) that the valves are from: Value Plastics Inc. www.valueplastics.com Part # SVC23050 Cost is ~$0.35 ea in min quantity of 100. I prefer the top fill approach---remove the cart from the printer...

barfl2 My OCP ink comes in 16 oz (500ml) bottles which I transfer into 2 oz squeeze bottles. In addition I placed a plastic check valve between the needle and bottle so I have no drips until I squeeze the bottle firmly. A second advantage occurs when I complete the refill and release my...

Rod, that sounds like a heck of a vacuum on the reservoir side. And the sponge was so deeply saturated locally on the bottom side that the air vent was unable to relieve the pressure imbalance. Opening the top fill plug did the trick. A similar problem occurs when both sponges are saturated and...

A simple suggestion: The use of a fine sharpening stone will easily convert a blunt needle to a sharp and vice versa. Do clear the small shards of metal that cling after reshaping. irv weiner

George, Yes and No. At 25W the printer in question is obviously an Inkjet. I am not aware of any desktop Laserjets when printing operating at that low a power level. My Inkjet and Laserjet are both connected to the UPS, when not physically printing their 'standby' power is a few watts for the...

George, I repeat, the OP is discussing 25W, this is typical of many hobbyist's photo printers, serious or or newbies. The 3 Canon 9xxx's (used over the last decade) and my present Epson 3880 ALL draw <30W when printing (from the manuals). Yes, I am keenly aware of the power requirements of...

For a 25 W UPS request I doubt that a laser printer is being considered by the OP irv weiner

1: Wipe the needle dry 2: Point the sqz bottle vertically and spray the ink IN the needle into a tissue. 3: Finished 3a: I dabbed a microtouch of oil on the needle to prevent sticking. irv weiner
