Study: Over Half of Inkjet Printer Ink is Thrown Away As much as 60 percent of the ink in inkjet cartridges is wasted when printers ask users to throw away half-full cartridges. Rosemary Haworth, PC Advisor Friday, June 15, 2007 1:00 PM PDT As much as 60 percent of the ink contained in a typical...

I need to buy a "small office" laser printer to replace my Samsung ML-2150, which has gotten very erratic lately. This printer has Postscript emulation and 16 MB of RAM. (Years ago, I tried to upgrade the RAM, but could not find a compatible third-party memory stick.) Is Postscript emulation...

I've had no experience of any of the Pixmas, but I bought this to replace a defunct SC900. The first thing I've noticed is that the automatic duplex is glacially slow. Example: - a two-page Word document. Time to print first page: - around 10 seconds. Time to draw paper back in, turn paper over,...

I understand that the ip4200 (replacement for the ip4000 and probably the ip3000) has a 1 picolitre printhead. The inks are dye based (CLI-8) except for the PGI-5BK pigment black. Canon claim that the new Chromalife 100 ink will last up to 100 years on Canon photographic paper if stored in an...

I just thought I would report on my experience, as I have received many good tips from these groups. I have had very good experience with getting supplies from tylermartin ( www.tylermartin.com ). So far I have used replacement cartridges for my Canon i450. They were less than $2 for the...

I have been looking at the R220 for printing on CD/DVD's. I have been reading that the inks are waterbased and therefore prone to smudgeing and running. Have also read that some have been spraying with acrylic to protect the printing. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of the new R260? ...

Anybody know a good online store for ordering ink in Canada? (preferably in the west)

I hear a lot the word "pagecount" is this something like the mileage on a car? a number that stays there when powered off, when toner changed, etc? does it only apply to certain printers? if so, would the hp lj 1100 be one of them? and if so, would a 7000 pagecount be considered low, moderate...

I am looking for good, compatible cartridges for my Epson CX 5200 All-in-one printer. Can someone share his experience in using compatible cartridges that use Epson quality ink and that do not give error messages when inserted? Thanks -- Walter

I've looked at a lot of stuff on the web concerning refilling inkjet cartridges, but most of it is pretty old news, and not specific to Epson. I've got a new CX8400 that uses the Epson 69 series of cartridges. Will I have problems with getting these cartridges refilled at Walgreens? Would I save...

Hi, I have seen that there are now compatible ink cartridges available for Canons latest range of printers, but without the chips. Canon's Cartridge part numbers a PGI-5BK, CLI-8BK, CLI-8C, CLI-8M & CLI-8Y. Apparently the original Canon cartridge chips can be reused in the compatible...

Printer is about a year and a half old. Print head was replaced about 6 months ago. Using generic ink tanks. Normal printing is fine. The issue is when printing photos, or anything on glossy paper settings. If I set the printer settings to use standard quality printing and standard paper,...

IF A USER DOES NOT USE FACTORY OEM OR FACTORY RECOMMENDING INK IN THEIR PRINTER AND THAT INK CLOGS OR IN ANY OTHER WAY DAMAGES THE PRINTER THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO SERVICE THAT MACHINE UNDER THE WARRANTY. AND THAT IS GOOD. THERE IS NOT REASON WHY ALL OF THE USERS HAVE TO PAY MORE...

Hi group, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. A relative works for an office supply chain and offered to get me a new printer as a Christmas gift. The three models I can choose from a HP Q3482A Epson R300 Canon IP2000

Hi Most printers these days seem to be targetted at photographers, and although I do use a digital camera, most of my photos stay on the computer or on the net, rather than getting printed out. I am an artist, and I want to make prints of the artwork I produce on the computer. I want to use good...

Why does the ink flow dry up if the printer isn't used very frequently? It's very irritating and expensive. -- milesm

After 1.5 years of pretty good service, my Epson CX5200 may have gone out on me. Clogged printheads? If it is a gonner, can anyone recommend a mid-priced multifunction printer? I need photo printing, separate tanks (4 tanks is fine), scanning,...

Due to problems with a clogged printer head, and repeated cleaning operations, my new epson original ink cartridges report that they are only 60% full now - when in fact I know they must be 100% since there hasn't been a drop out of them yet. I have an Epson CX5200 and wonder if there is a simple...

I refill Canon ink cartridge by drilling a hole on the top. I wonder where to find/buy tiny stoppers for the hole to seal it. Satoshi
