OEM inks cause fewer problems than aftermarket ink. OEM inks are sold in all marketing channels. With OEM inks you know who the mfg/formulator is. With AfterMarket Inks Most vendors will not tell you who the mfg/formulator is. Most vendors fail to fully disclose all of the information concerning

My ip4200 keeps leaving a fairly wide streak (1/8" maybe) down the back side of my printed pages. On subsequent pages it keeps getting a little lighter until it's almost gone and then it starts over again. Obviously ink is dripping on the roller somewhere. I have taken both black cartridges out...

My ancient Epson Stylus C82 is suddenly delivering very poor quality output, so far not fixable. I want to replace it quickly. (Christmas cards, framed photos, DVD covers etc, all with pressing deadlines, some already in the past!) I was surprised to find the market seems dominated by...

Hi - I just had this statement emailed to me by somebody who ususally knows about these things in a professional capacity: "Epsons are built to stop functioning when the internal counter reaches a certain number, and you do need to be aware of this. Many people aren't.!!" I find this very hard to...

The truth of the matter appears to be that the dye ink prints from ALL dye based inkjet printers will fade if they are abused,,, PERIOD. The problem seems to be that they dont get treated properly after printing. I have an on-going experiment at my house (average home, 1 smoker, 1 non smoker,...

Today my wholesale supplier of aftermarket inkjet cartridges for my Epson 760, 860 and 1160 printers told me that they are out of carts for these printers and won't have a source of supply available until some time in October. It seems that quite a number of aftermarket cart manufacturers settled...

It seems that if I print the same document with exact same settings the print quality of black is paler when using Duplex. It seems that it is not using the same black ink as the Non Duplex printing. Anyone know if this is the case, or should I try a reinstall of the software? Thanks

Hi, didn't post here for ages. Just had a bad experience. . .after three years of great use my faithful printer started giving me problems. It would no longer produce high quality prints without an awful streaking/banding running through the prints, see below link for...

Attempted to set up a HP6980 for a neighbour, expecting it to be easy - connected to a Toshiba laptop via a Draytek 2800G wireless router But the wireless printing only seems to work when the printer has *no* encryption set. If the printer has no encryption set, it prints fine. Setting up using...

Good morning, I have a "brother DCP -115C" printer. So far I was happy with it. Now, I'm getting really upset with it: Althought the ink cartridge for black is full I cannot print a simple black and white document. Its display is showing "Ink Empty Yellow" and "Replace Ink". I do not want to buy...

Does anyone know how to get the lexmark optra T614 in the "programming code engine" mode. I have tried holding MENU, SELECT, Return and then turning on the device like the directions from lexmark stated. All that will come up is the "invalid code engine". The printer is hooked up via parallel...

Hello all, Lets say I wanted to buy 25,000 sheets of 11x17 paper that was a pastel color, around 20 weight, needed to feed a laser. I live in the Pittsburgh area, considering freight charges, state taxes, driving cost & etc: Any suggestions ? Buy local, (where possibly) or via internet. (I tried...

I have a Konica Minolta 2300DL colour laser printer which is just over two years old, but has only done 4500 pages. It is now reporting 'Media Jam - Tray 1' when asked to print a single page document. It picks up the paper draws it a couple of inches into the machine and stops before reporting the...

Is there a freeware or inexpensive shareware program that will print multiple copies of an image on each piece of paper. I have a picture that I want to print ten, wallet-sized images on each page. I use Windows XP SP2. I do not want a Windows 3.x program because I have many files and...

I have a Canon Pixma ip4950 inkjet and I was wondering if anyone knew of a source of information on how to remove and clean out and put back the ink absorber pad? Also do you need to reset the printer to get it working again after you have done this, and if so how is that done? My printer has...

I have a Windows 7 pro computer connected to two Network printers. An Epson WF-7515 and a Dell 2330dn, which is the default printer. When I try to print from Firefox it insists on printing to the Epson and does not offer the choice. When I try "find printer" it refuses to find the Dell whether I...

This is the worst printer I have ever had. If I don't print something everyday, it dries up and will not print. It then takes me an hour to get it going again. I have sent it in to Canon and it still does this. There are other problems as well. I don't recommend it, or Canon to anyone.
