Thanks! I do have an option to buy a 9800. Would that be as reliable as the 9600? The seller made a nozzle clean and showed me a perfect nozzle check immediately.

I have a LOT of Epson Ultrachrome HDR ink (700ml cartridges). I also have two (almost completely) dead Epson 7900. I am sick of Epson and clogged print heads. I am now offered a cheap HP Z2100. It ...

Hello everybody I have two Epson Pro 7900's that I am about to give up. The story of me trying to rescue them are long and sad, so I will leave it at that.. I still have a LOT of ink (UltraChrome ...

I have two 7900. In the attempt to troubleshoot one of them, I put the print head in the working one. Immediately after that, ALL cartridges has an X over them. No matter what I do and how I take ...

I need advice on this: After cleaning and re-installing printhead in Pro 7900 it does no longer have ink reaching the head. I have done a few cleaning circles and also a few power cleanings. After ...

I am trying to resurrect an old Epson 3800. I am quite sure that it has air in ALL channels, as it is printing blan, except for some black and a tiny bit of yellow. Before I put in refillable ...

As long as it works without clogging (so many sad reports on how often that happens) it is one hell of a machine.. I know it in and out after spending weeks taking it apart, even taking out the ...

Thank you, but that part I do understand. I was just wondering why the same is not applying to all other colors/inks. But I suppose that is because only the black is producing the darker shades?

Why is it only the blacks that needs to be matte or 'photo' How come all the other inks work on both matte and glossy? Can some clever person elaborate a bit for me? Thanks. :)

I just went through a few weeks rescuing a 7900. It uses the sam ink as the 7890 plus green and orange. The black and yellow were clogged ,so I hacked a driver to swap the ink to use green and ...

Thanks a lot! I did manage to make it work by powercleaning the pairs of Green/Orange quite a few ties. In the middle of the process I realized that I had only swapped black and green (and not ...

Thank you I can actually powerclean only the pair of green/orange, so that I will not use ink from all other channels. I am just hesitating, because I think that I will fill up my maintenance tank ...

Hello to all clever Epson people I spent a week trying to save an Epson Pro 7900 with a bad printhead. It has a hardware failure on the black and yellow channels. I ended up installing Gutenprint ...

I know this thread is old, but I am in the EXACT same situation. My black channel on my PRO 7900 is dead, and I want to utilize the green or orange channel instead. Did you ever find any solution ...

I own an Epson Pro 7900. It prints perfect except for the well known printhead issue that causes most of the black and a bit of the yellow to 'disappear'. I am 95% sure it is not clogged, but a ...

I am curious about this. Could you ellaborate a bit on why you dislike the 35mm? I own a samyang 35mm f2.8 autofocus lens for my A7RII. I also own an adapted Hexanon 40mm f1.8. The Hexanon is not ...

Hi Bob, I am about to buy a used P600. When you harvest from bigger cartridges, can I then use any that uses the K3 ink system, or? I do have two old R2880, a R2400 and an R1800. All needs cleaning ...

I want to be able yo print pro-level photographs. I owned two Epson R2880 that gave me headaches because of clogged nozzles. However, I love the way they printed BW Matte and stunning color photos.. ...

Thank you for those links. I will look into it and maybe understand some details etc, but I may not find the time to go all the way and do all of those tests.

Thank you all for good answers, technical as well as 'psychological' approaches to my 'problem'. :) One of my reasons for going back to the Pentax lenses (in this discussion the 50mm's) is the very ...
