My Epson stylus photo 2100 just keeps on working. It suffered one and

I believe I'm stuck with it for good... Or at least as long as

there's ink for it.

it isn't as much of an ink guzzler as the r2400

Re: update on the new printer

The Yellow, Magenta and Cyan cartridges are all brand new...   The 
yellow and cyan were nearly depleted earlier and those were replaced
yesterday... and a couple of nozzle checks run, today I replaced the 
magenta...


If the whole carriage was off, the first 5 would not be ok.. and the 
matte black is next to the cyan and it is perfect ...


Certainly not the cartridges themselves to blame here

Jostein, the quoting was used to understand what keeps you attached to 
your printer.

Almost any glue has some solvent that will work on it. :-)

Igor

PS. Never had to use a solvent against mice droppings, but have to deal 
with those in the patio every so often. Once, we've got mice visiting our 
"snacks storage" piece of furniture in the lab and leaving a serious 
"trail". I tried to call the university EHS (environment, health and 
safety) office to deal with that, but they refused.

Not familiar with the brand, but isn't it just some kind of organic solvent?

Glad to hear that, Jostein

I'm off to B to buy two more cartridges that I should have gotten 
yesterday... don't ask..


I used the Rite-aidverson of Windex on a paper towel to wipe the spikes 
last night  not realizing it
wasn't Official Windex that I was loaned but the same chemistry. 
Crossing fingers I didn't
cause more mischief  - can't know until I replace the actually dead 
light light black.

Re: update on the new printer

My Epson stylus photo 2100 just keeps on working. It suffered one and a half 
years sitting in an uninsulated barn, collecting dust and mouse droppings, and 
still came through after four rounds through the cleaning process. 
I believe I'm stuck with it for good... Or at least as long as there's ink for 
it.
