Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I am just refilling and realize that i do not know position of inks 
in epson T008 color cartridge, even the original do not have it. I 
can't find it on MIS site for T008.

help!

Thanks!

Hi,

I found this on paul workflow page at MIS web. Is it true for T008 as 
well?

"When viewing the cartridges that are installed in the printer, an 
Epson 4 color printer is K,C,M,Y from left to right. An Epson 6 color 
printer is C,LC,M,LM,Y from left to right"

The MIS instructions are at

Yes.  Rotate the wheel at the left to release the carriage, and move it out
of the way and you can get to the pads fairly easily.  Water or a very
dilute water/ammonia solution should do the trick.

Paul,

Thank you for your response, excuse my writings and questions, I am 
just completely excited! I was waiting for this moment (and the 
moment I'll print first few photos) quite some time and I was shocked 
when it arrives 6 days after order when I expected at least 2, 3 
weeks.

Yep, I did it acording that procedure, it was suprisingly easy. 
Unfortunately there is no T008 picture on any page of MIS, I am 
affraid. I followed information from your workflow page. Hope it is 
all right.

I was a bit suprised that it went that easy and also MIS on that page 
writes 10cc for color chamber. Sometimes I had 11cc and it went in 
with no problem.

Do I need to reset chip before I put cartridge in printer?
Will be indication of amount ink left correct? Can I trust epson 
monitor when it indicates change?

Thanks!
I'll do pads cleaning tomorrow before I'll put new filled cartridge 
in.

The ink order is the same on all Epson hextone carts, I assume.

>Do I need to reset chip before I put cartridge in printer?

If the cart was new, there is no need to re-set the chip.

>Will be indication of amount ink left correct? Can I trust epson

Epson is conservative.  If the right amount of ink was put in the carts, the
monitor will say you are out before that actually happens.  (I think there
is a lawsuit in Europe alleging Epson is cheating customers by this
practice.  Epson's response is that running the printer head when it's dry
damages the head.  So, it's better to leave some ink in the cart.)

Happy printing.

Hi,
     Is there a website someone can suggest that might have basic
information on methods of coating and protecting prints?  Specifically,
I'm printing with my Epson 1280 on Matte paper and just a drop of water
causes the ink to run and ruins the whole print.  Is there something I
can spray that will not dramatically ruin the tones of the image but
still protect it?  I tried some Krylon acrylic fixative (which I use for
my homemade diffusion filters), and it just soaked into the paper,
ruined the print, and did nothing to protect it.
     Right now I'm using the Epson inks, as this is my 3'rd 1280 under
replacement (finally got a good one), but when these run out I'll
probably be MIS archival ink.
     I've seen many references hear to coatings using rods and whatever,
but I have to admit I just don't understand that process at all (is
there a primer out there somewhere?).  Spraying something would be a
much easier way to get started for me.
     It seems to me that some kind of clear adhesive backed laminated
sheet would be a good solution, but I suspect there's nothing like that
out there that's archival in nature.
     All suggestions and information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

See this thread...it should answer your question; I was just looking 
at it and found it very helpful:

(Avoid Krylon "Preserve-it!" The can makes tempting claims "archival, 
doubles the life of the print, etc.", but leaves a rough texture on 
the print. I am returning a can on Monday to the art store.)

Thanks.  I'll hit an art supply store and see if I can find one of the
things listed.
