epson 4000 under Windows XP

2004-10-15 by sinwen

Hi all,

I am wondering if the chips on this epson4000 are the same as the 7600. In other words, can we really use the 7600 carts for this printer ? MIS is saying yes, but until someone else tell no with good reasons, I would prefer to know why first if its apply.
As I have only one printer of this size, I am hesitating whether keeping UC and have color printing possible or switch totally B&W using UT.
In order to get really neutral B&W result with UC, I would probably need a RIP but even tho, would it be neutral ?
With UT, I need to flush clean the noozles it is a 192$ expense just for cleaning, then I have the eight cart to place in, which one would it be ? UT are not very much cheaper than UC.
If any one have clear answers to this wonders, he would be of great help, thanks.

Michel

On the Epson America web site the part numbers for the inks appear to be the
same.  For example, the 110 ml UltraChrome Cyan cartridge:

4000 UC cyan = T543200

7600 UC cyan = T543200

See if your local Epson part numbers are likewise the same.

>...With UT, I need to flush clean the noozles ...

I never bother with flushing, although I don't have a 4000.  With my 7500 I
simply replaced the Archival inks with UT inks and had no problems.  My
experience has been that the Epson pigments and MIS pigments are compatible.

Good luck.

Paul, 

So you replace the carts and print until the colors are gone to flush the tubes ? If that is possible great then.

thanks
Michel

Michel,

I use the "prepare for transport" procedure in the manual to empty the
lines.  It can take 2 of these, one day apart, to clean the old ink out.
