Getting Fingers Dirty
Hello everyone,
I'm new here as of today. LOL..
Here is my situation ladies and gents. I currently have 2 epson r280 printers. One is being used and the other is still sitting in it's sealed box from Epsom. The one I use I bought a CISS dye base ink system for it. It was working great for the longest time but until one day for the love of god my cyan on the print test will not completely print all the bars, the only time it will is if I do a head cleaning numerous times and it will work for one print out and then go back to printing some cyan bars but all of the other colours will print out great. I had a heck of a time with it and had a few tears when I saw my ink tanks deplete each time I do a head cleaning. It came down to the point I said enough is enough I couldn't figure out why it will not print out properly. So I went out and bought epson cartridges (cried some more after paying for them) and installed it into the printer and what ya know printer was restored to normal after a couple of prints. So I took out the Dye Ink system sealed it up and put it aside for the last few months and used regular epson ink until now. I looked at the ciss and all the cartridges seems ok, but still cannot figure out why the cyan will not completely print out the proper test sheets. Do you guys have any idea on how to solve the problem?
Now 2nd issues since buying this new CISS Pigment system about 5 months ago and it is being sitting on my shelf since then. I'm now ran out of my Epson ink yesterday. I mentioned to a buddy tonight I'm going to install the pigment system in my printer, but I'm now being told by a him and reading some reviews online after the fact that I shouldn't install the pigment ink ciss in the same printer which I used the Dye Based ink Ciss and Regular Epson ink otherwise I will run into problems. Is that true? Since I have the 2nd R280 printer sitting there never been used, should I install the Pigment Ciss system into that and I am good to go without any issues?
Either way I think I'm up the creek and i'm taking on water slowly.. Anyone please help me in providing some good data for me.
Much appreciated, and thanks again.
