Hello Manuel, It may not be the ink getting low, but the cartridge could have a buildup of foam so that when you filled the first refill and the ink flowed out...

I have read many posts which feel the 1280 is even better than the 2200. I think Mr. Roark is producing the work he is doing on the C82 for a no curve or...
I'm thinking about jumping to a digital output. Currently looking at 1280 and a 3200 scanner. Are there any members in the Portland, OR area I can contact...
Manuel, Some background information on the Epson ink monitor that may help reduce confusion. If you pop the chip off an Epson ink cartridge you'll only see a ...

Paul, I understand what you say about using the C82 for getting my feet wet BUT I have a daily use printer in my HP932C (ink consumer maximus) As to the idea...
OK, so you have at least improved it. Thats a start. There is one more thing that could be affecting the printing. That is that the paper is not being...

Hi Folks/ Paul I have been happily using my VMs in the Epson 1290 for some time and over the last few months switched to the UTs. I have not found the 1290...
