Recently, my Epson R2880, started indicating that one of the cartridges
(light Cyan, if I remember correctly) is low.
The driver indicates basically 0 level, but the photos are coming
alreight so far.
So, I have a few questions for the happy owners of similar printers:
1. How can I reliably know when the cartridge is empty?
The ink levels are just an estimate, the only way to know if you're
actually out of ink is to run out. (I use paper that's inexpensive
enough that I can run my printer until the ink is dry, it's cheaper to
waste a sheet than to discard a cartridge with ink still in it.
2. Will the printer stop printing or give me any other indication
that the cartridge is completely empty?
Pretty much the low ink warning is all you get. It will continue to
print even if the ink is totally empty.
3. Is there any danger of the printer head to run on totally empty
cartridge?
None that I can think of.
Thank you,
Igor
