Epsom struggling

Go to last post
The procedure is very simple and does not take long, it's better than flushing as you don't waste ink.

Any print head will cloak if you let the printer sit for a long time without use, never let your printer run out of ink and let it sit unused

slide it under the print head and leave it there over night. That
has opened the heads when no amount of flushing did. But that's the
1280.

...when I tried to exercise my Canon warranty using the second option - they repair mine - no replace it with someone else's - I had to wait almost 4 months and there is NO ONE in the Canon organization that I could call about it. All that one can access is the tech. reps., and they will not give you someone higher up to complain to. That's why I stopped using Canon products unless I'm forced to.

EpsoM is a company that offers a service to purge EpsoN inkjets....ROFLMAO

(To any would be trollish cretins: this was all in jest, a play of words)

Don't be silly. You know who he meant. Everyone knows Epsom.

Epsom is the inkjet printer company, Seiko-Epsom - the one that competes against Cannon and Hewlett Packart.

Sheesh!

.....& learn to read.

Start with the OP for starters: He made a mistake & wrote M instead of N.

Then continue with what you yourself wrote:

you asked what was EpsoM, (could have been that you simply pointed out the OP's error in jest)

& I continued what seemed like your little joke; obviously intended as a friendly jibe to the OP's mis-spelt word.

Please tell me that this was just a bad moment of yours.......I refuse to believe you're a jerk :)

HAS ANYBODY ACTUALLY READ THE ARTICLE?!!!!!!!

Their SEMICONDUCTOR business is what is hurting. Sheesh, if you read the article it states that they are going to focus on the profitable inkjet business and get out of the cut-throat semiconductor business.

Man oh man, didn't anyone teach you folks to read and do your homework?

Because they put themselves into this situation. Their product is
fine and their technology is still pretty good and likely to remain
competetive. Its their way of marketing and distribution that hurts
them.

Not to say the competetion is not to blame, especially after the
way HP and Canon sell printer at undercut price and profit on inks.
Overall consumer and mid raneg inkjet market is unhealthy by all
account ..

Just like American auto makers, unreliable products and bad
customer service go hand in hand.

Maybe it is more a matter of perception than reality. To begin with your example, American autos have suffered a bad rap because of past practices. By and large, today's cars built and designed in the USA perform as well or better than their foreign counterparts. Recent news items have also revealed that Toyota is not the shining beacon of quality and service that it is often portrayed to be. For whatever reason, it appears perception lags reality by about 5 years or so.

Epson printers likewise are summarily dismissed by some because of their history as clog-prone, ink wasting pieces of junk. My experience does not confirm this position to be true. The oldest printer I have, an Epson 1270 purchased the first week it was available from my distributor, has developed maybe a half-dozen clogs in its lifetime. I can live with that.

On printers with replaceable cartridge heads - HP and Canon - you can also fill a bathroom sink with about 1 inch (no more) of warm water and hold the bottom of the heads (just the bottom, no more) to the water for a few minutes. Afterwards take some toilet paper (softer than other household papers) and PAT the head dry - DO NOT WIPE!!

I've done it dozens of times to HP's and a few times to a Canon and it works great.

i wish i would have had these tips all of the years of using epsons. i guess its better late than never. i'll just hang with my canon for the moment. i'm happy with the quality. as others say the longevity is not there with canon. that doesnt matter too much to me right now, i am using it mostly for proofing.

thanks,
david
