Hello,
Printing images (photos of my paintings) on my Epson P900 is using excessive amounts of Gray and Light Gray ink cartridges. I'm having to change these two at a rate probably 3:1 of any other color. When I order ink, I'm buying 3 or 4 times more Gray and Light Gray cartridges than the...
Hello.
I use my Epson p600 everyday multiple times, I'm getting very tired of it deciding to do automatic cleaning cycles whenever it chooses. Is there any kind of adjustment program or firmware that can give me total control so I can decide for myself when the machine does a cleaning/ink...

Hi all! I've just bought my first prosumer printer, a used Epson P800. Other than the paper front tray not working properly (I'll have to look into that) it seems to be in good shape, especially considering the price I snagged it for. With that out of the way, the print levels are low and I'm...
I am having a very hard time finding ink for the Canon Pro-300. Specifically the GY does not seem to be available (I have checked Amazon and other online resellers). Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi there, if I may, I need some help.
Today I picked up a Canon PIXMA Pro-1. It's a used model, and the test print the previous owner tried to make only shows magenta and a tiny bit of cyan. He used to use cheap aftermarket ink cartridges. I have cleaned the machine today. Used paper towel to...
If you print photos (on photo paper) then you use the dye-based black (denoted K often times I gathered) instead of the pigment-based black (Bk). Now when does this "photo black" actually get used? Is it only for the parts of the photo where it is completely black ("true black")? Or does it also...
A fellow camera club member is selling his unopened Canon CLI-8 ink cartridges for $8 each because his Pro 9000 died. First, I'd like to extend an offer to any PrinterKnowledge member who is interested in purchasing these cartridges. I would have to check with the seller first, of course...
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if the print quality settings for an Epson P800 make a difference to the ink usage, specifically the difference between the 'quality' and 'max quality' settings . I emailed Epson about this and they said:
"There is no difference in the ink usage...

Hello.
I am wondering of anyone can guide me a little on this please. I have an HP Designjet 500 which is running still on original HP inks (albeit old ones) and generally speaking the printer produces excellent quality prints all things considered.
About a month ago, for the first time ever...
I have a Canon Pro-1000 that seems to "eat" ink, especially the chroma optimizer. Does anyone know of a good solution for this problem. Inexpensive refils, perhaps?
I use the printer infrequently, so it naturally goes through cleaning cycles, whether it needs it or not.
Hi everyone!
I have just arranged to pick up another inkjet.. my dream printer! An Epson Stylus Photo R2400!
I've bought 2 inkjets in past 6 months.. Canon MG2965 - cheap and OK, can be refilled BUT it's very poor quality, wouldn't waste paper on it to do photos. I then bought an Epson...
I have started to notice marks appearing on my prints; mainly on the rear but now significantly visible on the front of the printed image. A look inside reveals that the ink absorber is overflowing and spilling out onto the feed rollers. I have had this printer almost since it was released 7 or...
Hi all,
I have a Canon MG5700 series printer fitted with a CISS. The continuous ink system is connected to the original ink cartridges which are of type PGI-270 / CLI-271.
Can anyone recommend a suitable brand and type of bulk ink that would be compatible with this cartridge type?
