1. The ink cartridges are very small, only 11.4 ml, and considerable amount of that ink is consumed when you do "head cleaning" (through the internal [comes with the printer driver] software utility), after you haven't used the printer for a while. Also it purges ink every time you power it up. Also, when you replace one ink, I believe, all inks are re-initiated, which also wastes some ink.
Exactly.
That sometimes forces me to replace a cartridge that is not completely empty yet, when I am replacing an empty one, because otherwise, the almost-empty one will become empty shortly (or immediately) after the re-initialization, and then more ink would be wasted in 2 re-initialization procedures.
Quite so.
2. Photo black and matte black cannot be installed at the same time. If you switch them, _all_ the inks are re-initialized/purged.
What a brilliant concept. For Epson. I've had the same trouble, over and over, eventually gave up when half the colours were clogged yet again and I would have had to spend a few hundred on ink, still not knowing if that would have got the printer going and for how long. So I put it on ebay - with an honest description, of course - and it still went for 60 euros. There's a drugstore with a decent printing station, at the next street corner, and the town's biggest photo store with a whole selection of printing options is a little over 5 minutes away. I don't have walls enough to hang all the prints I could make there with the money I've saved by not buying more ink for that stupid Epson printer. Ralf -- Ralf R.
