Thank's Jose!

Hello Jose, this question might sound funny but I have sensitive skin when it comes down to some fabrics can you tell just by touch if the t-shirts are soft to the touch or rough? I do want to order a set of XL thanks.

[@mariadaxer1583]

Thank´s Jose. Can you please tell me the company in Europe ( you mentioned at the beginning but I couldn´t figure it out....) providing excellent refill ink for the canon pro 1000? As I took a close look at the transportcosts (precisions colors) from US to Austria? Thank´s in advance

[@cheo1949]

No one is at the moment in Europe. Only www;precisoncolors.com in Canada. But they have shipping limitations to overseas locations.

I took the epson 7890 printhead off and clean it. It has 10 nozzles, 8 of which are free. The middle two, (counting from the right or left, the fifth and sixth are not free from passing liquid. What colors passes through those nozzle (5th & 6th)? If I can't get the head unclog, should I buy the printhead or to buy new printer? PK and Y are clogged.

[@cheo1949]

Man! Too much work and money! You might want to start fresh. I have to say you are a hell of a lot more handy than me she. It comes to that kind of work.

[@bhojpurisongs1]

Is there a service we can use for refilling our Pro-100 carts, I feel not very comfortable doing the refilling myself and would appreciate if there is a service that can reliably refill our carts using precision color inks.

[@cheo1949]

As far as I know unfortunately there is not. It really is not that difficult. Try to watch my videos on refilling and you will see. Do just one at a time and you will soon get the process mastered.

[@bhojpurisongs1]

Your instructions are very detailed and helpful and much appreciate the effort you have put in to create such informative contents for us. I have scars from (long time back) trying to do the same with one my Epson printer that was prone to clogs and also easily rejected the attempts to reset the chip. I had not discovered your site then to help with it. I am concerned with the initial cleaning and prepping the carts to start accepting Precision Color inks that seems little more involved. I checked the precision color site and they seems to out of ready to use kit of that comes with ready CLI-42 carts. I'll keep checking their site may be it'll reappear at some point.

[@cheo1949]

They are now back on!

[@livingstone6275]

I have a question? This has to do with getting an old epson printer that utilizes a 7 cart piezo print head printing properly again. Some of the old ink splots you can see looking down inside the printer lying around the carriage will not clean up using windex. Is this what happens to the printhead after ink has allowed to sit in it and dry for long periods of time? After a few months of running nozzle checks I still am at about only 90 % in 5 nozzles, 2 of them are full 100% good now. Does it take a long time to remove all the old dried ink on the nozzles so that you can finally get complete nozzle patterns? You said not to run cleaning solution thru the printhead if you dont have to for fear of permanently damaging the printhead. So Is patience and just using a long term of running cleaning cycles and nozzle checks recquired here?

[@cheo1949]

Yes. Once that stuff dries and "Cooks" it is extremely difficult to disolve. Are you getting different random nozzle result between tests? Or are they the same nozzles still clogged? Last resort and with the print head over folder paper towels is to remove the carts and very gently injecting a fraction of and ml of Windex into a channel, then gently pull back a bit. A bit in and a bit out. Do that on all 7 channels and let it rest over the now set paper towel. Keep it wet for several and repeat GENTLY!!!! After several cycles of this, lol the carts back in and let it run the purge and do another nozzle check. Unless the head is simply permanently damaged, you should see gradual improvement of if you are lucky, complete clearing.

[@livingstone6275]

HI, well its basically the same nozzles show the same pattern in nozzle checks daily without any change at this point. When I first started out a few months ago they were all really bad and have improved tremendously up to now. I can run a print on the 2880 dpi with enhanced matte setting with epson matte paper and it looks pretty darn great, however about 1/8 inch away from the edge of both sidetoside of each landscape print shows this vertical line about 1/8 inch wide that has multicolors in it that runs all the way from bottom to top of each print on the 8.5 x 11 matte paper, so i dont know what causes that but once you get past about 1/8 inch from the edge of the print on one side then about 1/8 inch away from the edge of the print on the other side the rest of the whole print looks great. And by the way I wanted to tell you that the printer potty I installed the other day is amazing! Man does it start collecting the ink right away! I got a million questions to ask but dont want to get too complicated here. Should I try using the windex as you say or would it be better to try using piezo flush?

[@cheo1949]

I have no clue what would cause that multicolor line to print. Piezoflush is the best and probably where you should go to next IF Windex is not doing the job.

[@livingstone6275]

thanks will try the windex first ...........

[@davidbcossini8928]

I agree with you Jose 100% about the Color Munki being better than the other profilers or calibrators I had (still have) the Spider 3 Pro monitor calibrator and it never worked on me, the first time I sued the Color Munki I got right on the dot.

[@cheo1949]

OK, I have never used anti g but X-Rite and the results have been top notch. My new i1Pro2 produces fantastic profiles. I just did one for an individual for an Epson 9800 using a matte canvas and CONE INKS and the customers is thrilled with it.

[@jliang70]

Other than buying a good printer, Color Munki is the best piece of kit that I feel every inkjet photo printing hobbyist should have.

[@cheo1949]

It is indeed!

[@leonard187]

Hello Mr. Rodriguez I own a X-rite Monitor calibrator and are used to use it with my MacBook Pro until my one I was doing routine maintenance schedule and something went wrong in my computer crashed oh yeah folks are always talking about Apple MacBooks don’t crash well that is a lie because that X-rite monitor calibrator crashed my computer. Luckily for me a know someone that knows the ins and outs of the MacBook Pro 💻 that got me back into my laptop 💻 and then I call Apple and was put in contact with a senior customer service tech that seriously knew her stuff and I’ve now recovered all my important information and photos. Thank GOD for those two awesome amazing fantastic beautiful individuals whom helped me tremendously.

[@richardtindell8366]

I ran my Pro 10 with WiFi and the prints were great BUT I could not access any of my printers cleaning and maintenance. Once hard wired everything was available!

[@cheo1949]

That's another reason to use USB connection when you are able.

[@dunnymonster]

All in all use common sense when it comes to printing 😊

[@cheo1949]

You bet!

[@mactastic144]

I use an Ethernet connection.

[@cheo1949]

OK?

[@normansweetman9825]

Norm Hi Jose

[@normansweetman9825]

Hi Jose (try it again)can you please help me to get refill carts to suite EPSON XP-630. Sorry about the first attemp thanks Norman

Jose .... WiFi quote is rubbish. I only print via WiFi on fibre network with average 136 mb images and everyone has turned out perfect , from small 6x4 to 13 x19 pictures.

[@cheo1949]

Just ready what they wrote. I have had many a printer working perfectly as well with WiFi but I no longer a laptop to take advantage of that. Every printer I currently have is within 10' of my PC so everything is via USB as I run so e special applications that will not work via WiFi. In their defence I've heard of people having problems and they are resolved by connecting via USB. Maybe their WiFi sucks.

[@andrewford80]

You have good wifi. A lot of users do not, thus it is the cause of many issues. Not even isolated to printing. If an end user isn't tech enough to know the limitations of wifi or know how to overcome these limitations, they should stick to USB or Ethernet.

[@1066internet]

I have no choice but to use wi-fi as my printers are in another room. I have to agree with Marrutt on this one, it does occasionally fail and you get half a print. Maybe 1 in 20 times, so nothing too serious. It will all be down to the strength of the wi-fi signal from your router and how far away the printer is (walls etc in-between.).

[@cheo1949]

It also depends on the printer for whatever the reason. I just recently refreshed my Windows 10 PC and reinstalled all the printers using only USB. Before that I have them using both USB and WiFi. The R3000 was terrible and printed about one head pass every 6-10 seconds. On USB and it was back to normal. I have 150mb FIOS internet so it's not that. The Pro-100 and pro-10 printed perfectly on WiFi.
