Now that our suggestions for your printhead alignment has brought success, a serious question still remains. Why did this happen to 2 consecutive printers out of the box. If so, where are the other owners of this printer that statistically should be suffering the same fate? Can Joseph expect to...

I believe the hemispheres serve as a hydraulic 'shock absorber' for the air flow. We see similar air filled containers connected to piping carrying fluids--they are used to absorb the shock of 'water hammering' when flow is disturbed in the piping. In addition, this structural tube maze and...

Yes, Joseph, I approve of this new data but am quite curious, if poor bi-directional alignment why just the 1st line?? The printhead has to repeat the same path for all text lines; I suggest you execute a printhead alignment from the maintenance panel but dont feel confident. One scenario...

My 75 yr young eyes don't see anything wrong the 4 lines of text. I do see a wavy line just above the text but dont know its source--could be ink dragged by the printhead or the top of the piece of paper printed on. I did a screen snip, opened it PSE 7 and zoomed in. Considerable pixelation, but...

I think your Caboodle car is kicking you in the caboose! I dont know what quality ink you are pumping thru your printer--it is quite possible the the 'ink' is collecting on the printhead, drying out leaving a hard 'crud' that is being dragged across the printed page. That together with the...

easytimes. to make your time even easier insert a plastic check valve between your squeeze bottle and the needle. No dripping when grasp and manipulate the bottle and no frustrating suck back when you complete the fill.I brought this idea up some months ago and member listed some sources -cant...

The refilling process will be increasingly opaque--search thru this site, if not earlier in this post and learn how we are fighting back. 1) Take extra TLC with your present transparent carts (plenty of discussion here) 2) Buy a simple digital postal scale and weigh your opaque cart during...

I was just writing up a response for 'viewing' the ink level in the 3880 refill carts when I bumped into this update by websnail (Ron)? Yes, it appears that we will be forced (but not defeated) to return to top filling or viewing. Previously, I had suggested the old car battery fluid level...
