IJC now sell a 120ml top-fill version for the 3880, but they don't specify what type of chips they use, do you happen to know if they need resetting or always show full? What you did with your carts looks awesome, I wonder why no manufacturer hasn't come up with something similar yet. On that...

This has probably already been discussed somewhere, but I can't find anything, so I'm asking here: are there any refillable cartridges for the Epson 3880 that can be filled from the top (so that they don't have to be taken out of the printer every time) and they are also of the "always full"...

I believe that would work as you describe if you mixed pigment inks with the GO. Pigments are particles suspended in a medium, whereas dyes are solutions, pouring some GO into them should just dilute it further. If it matters, OCP list their GO as a dye formulation, not sure how it's supposed...

I tried that once, but I wasn't really happy with the results. Glossiness didn't improve much .Pigments will sit on the top of the paper surface reducing glossiness, be it they are diluted or not (think of prints made with pure pigment inks, in areas of light coverage, glossiness isn't great...

I'm not 100% sure but I think I was using the "extra strength cyan" for the above tests. I bought the inks from Octopus Office and the cyan was more expensive than the rest: http://www.octopus-office.de/en/shop/l/c/printer-ink-epson-t0801-t0806/

P50, works great with a CISS and with all types of ink and prints on cd.

The OCP was the best of all I tried. But when it comes to dye inks it looks like the paper plays a bigger role, a "bad" ink on some papers will last longer than "good" ink on cheap paper. Have a look here, I did a quick test with OCP, IS, IR and fotorite ink on various papers some time ago...

Just bought a new 3880 and a set of refillable cartridges, and since I haven't installed the OEM cartridges or turned the printer on yet, I was wondering if I could go ahead and install the refillables and have the printer go through its priming cycle with those instead of the OEM carts. Has...

Any chance you can try that? Doesn't have to be photo paper or even a roll in that matter. (attaching the two paper holders should be enough to trick the printer into thinking it's using roll paper I believe, then you can feed it a sheet of paper and print two small images consecutively)

I have a question regarding the R3000 and the roll paper option, I'm hoping someone of you with an R3000 can answer it: Is it possible to print images continuously on the roll without cutting each one after it's printed? i.e. send multiple pages to the printer in one go (through Photoshop, one...

I've been using an R2000 with a CISS from cityink for some time now, with excellent results. However, there is a problem with the chips. While they are advertised as Auto-reset, what usually happens is that one of two colours always reaches empty and I have to manually reset the chips, forcing...

Epson P50 is a great little printer, really fast, very cheap, awesome photo quality, easy to refill or use with CISS and can pretty much take any kind of ink. Its big brother the 1500w is also as good, and it's A3 as well.

"Private Messsage" me, not "pay me" ;) You'll have to physically mail the prints to me though, it will obviously take a few days for them to get here, if you don't mind waiting.

Did you remember to change the printer driver media settings to Epson presium glossy? Anyway, if you get different results with different versions of Photoshop then there's obviously something wrong in the workflow. Also, where did you get the profile you are using with the matte paper? I can...

OK, that's interesting, I never would have thought that grey inks were off by that much. So is it possible that black/grey inks, even the OEM ones, are not actually composed of pure black pigments but may contain other colours as well? How did you get a report on the ink usage of the individual...

You can also order directly from ocp.de (you'll have to order by email, but can pay with paypal). You can get them even cheaper than if you get them from Octopus (for instance, I got 1L pigment black for 26.50 instead of the 39.20 Octopus charges).

I just wanted to check whether the printer could actually produce neutral grays, sending an un-tagged file to the printer without any colour management, should at least maintain the neutrality of the greys (blacks/grays will print using K/LK/LLK, unless of course the OEM inks aren't actually...

There's an attached file, "i1 RGB 1.5.zip" on the bottom of the last post, there's a TIFF inside. (by the way, do you have access to another Mac or PC you can try printing from? What you are experiencing is really strange though, if it isn't a colour management issue afterall, could one of the...

You welcome. I still don't think the controller chips could cause any colour shifts. All these chips do is communicate the usage of each cartridge to the printer, so it knows when it's time to replace it (and of course give us a hard time refilling non-OEM cartridges at the same time). If this...

It's still probably a profile issue, the chips have nothing to do with the color(unless of course you managed to put the wrong colour of ink in the cartridges :)). Where did you get the profile you are using? Try downloading and using one of these...
