Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
I know that many of us (Except a few on this list) are constrained by budgets when we choose computer accessories. But I have found that when I buy a budget printer I get exactly what I paid for. The Workforce line from Epson is supposed to be pretty good. Also look at the HP office jet line. The L series is extremely good. Duplexing, networking etc. Plus it uses multiple cartridges (4 color) not AIO color carts. I bought a L7650 this summer for just over $100, it was a refurb. I have been extremely pleased with it, plus I got an extra paper tray for $25 and put it on. Their newer series is 8500 series. Look closely and figure out how much you really want to pay for this printer. Spend a little more and get what you need, you are investing money in this thing. You want one that will last a few years. Check Epsons and see what they have in refurbs. the RX700 I bought was a refurb, and it sold for over 200 new but I paid just over 100 and free shipping from Epson. Check HP's refurbs (I have found their prices are usually not a great deal.) Finally check out www.compgeek.com for refurb printers. Most of all read reviews of any printer you want to buy FIRST. You will be reading real peoples reactions to these printers. Look long and hard before you leap. Stewart At 10:22 PM 1/11/2010, you wrote: Talk to others first and read reviews.

Re: [CGUYS] Canon i9900 prints reds and pinks where gray should be.
rocky lee wrote: I have a Canon i9900 that is printing reds and pinks where it should be printing grays. I tried flipping and switching color space and profiles, but what it came down to was paper selection. If 'plain' paper is chosen, the colors print pretty close to what I see. If any other choice of paper, photo, photo glossy, photo matte, etc. is selected, the images get a rose colored tint. I suspected a bad color profile, but then I switched the printer to another computer and it repeated the tinting. On plain paper, it was fine. On the others, the color was skewed. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks, Rocky Did you simply switch paper (only), did you switch the media type in the properties section without changing paper, or did you match the media type with the actual paper being printed upon? If the media type doesn't match the kind of paper in the printer, a slight change in color may be expected. If the color change is large, then probably the print head needs cleaning. Use the maintenance section of the printer properties to print first a nozzle check, then followed by cleaning or deep cleaning if warranted. You may have to clean several times before more drastic action is required. The nozzle check will surely tell you if the print head is clogged. If not clogged, or the colors appear right on the nozzle check then suspect some other problem than the nozzle. There is a possibility that something else is wrong with the printer other than the nozzle, either hardware or software. Investigate this before proceeding. If the printer is under warranty, try to get a replacement from Canon. Be sure to remove all non-Canon ink cartridges and replace with Canon cartridges before taking/sending for warranty repair. If not under warranty, you will have to remove the print head and clean. Observe how it fits in the tray so that you can replace it after removal. Do the removal as a last resort, and be gentle.Try a bottle of compressed air first; don't blow too close to the print head, and blow into the nozzles from the nozzle side, not the ink side. Replace & see if the problem is fixed. If needed soak the print head by putting several paper towels, folded, on a plate and wet them well with water. Place the nozzle area onto the towels and let them soak for one or two hours. Let head dry completely, and see if OK. If not, then add some Windex Original Formula to the water and try soaking again, using a new paper towel. If this still doesn't work, you likely need to buy a new print head, so you can throw caution to the wind. Repeat the soaking but with some household ammonia added to the water in the towels. If this still doesn't work, there is probably no hope for the print head. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Cars and the CES...
I dont live in a high traffic area. (Southern Alabama lets get real) I ride a bicycle in DC traffic. Have for years. Successfully, so far. I see people yakking on handheld cells all the time (which is allegedly illegal) while driving. The cops don't do anything about it. A cyclist sees a lot of this craziness going on. I happened to be in Tennessee when I saw a guy nearly collide his Lexus into a semi at 70 mph. No, I wasn't on a bicycle at the time. I was in a Ford. But that kind of thing happens all the time. In aviation, it's called "task load". You can pick and train the absolute elite people and build the best interfaces possible and there will still be a point at which the user will be overwhelmed or distracted. The classic case is flight 401. http://www.freshgasflow.com/flight401.htm There was no attenrion to anything but a burned out lightbulb. It's VERY hard to concentrate on what's actually important when the device is demanding attention. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Re-pairing Bluetooth headphones with the transmitter
You might want to see if other bluetooth devices are in the immediate surroundings. A couple of years ago, I shared a hotel room with a friend whilst on vacation. I was trying to help him pair his new headset to his new phone. It didn't work at first but I soon realized that the headset had paired with my laptop across the room from us. Similarly, I've gone to my car to pre heat it to clean the windscreen, etc. I've seen it acknowledge the presence of my phone even though that phone was still in my house at the time.

Re: [CGUYS] Cars and the CES...
Let the bumper cars game begin!! Wasn't there one company who wanted to put a holographic overlay on the windshield so you could drive and surf at the same time?? In this area, you can get a full ticket (not a secondary offense) for using the fone or having the phone in your hand (must be speakerphone or hands free and must be put down somewhere) ...they instituted the law and many thousands of tickets have been written but just about half or more of the drivers I encounter on the road have their cell glued to their ear with their hand to it ...especially school bus drivers, oil&gas truck drivers, teen girls in noisy cars, and just about every police car I see. The thing is out of control. A kid on a fone rear ended our car with whiplash to my wife and never got a ticket for it.

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
Yes we've been tossing around the same questions. We have a small HP laser, refills locally at a dealer are 65 bux.

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
I do both. I have a B&W laser that I urge the family to use for everyday printing that does not need color. However when it is time for color I like the AIO. The fax works great especially for RECEIVING FAXES. Very rarely do I send one, but I do get them in. Computers do not work for this much anymore (unless you have a fax modem installed) Plus the AIO's are great document scanners. I love having the ADF's on them for doing a lot of scanning work. I cannot buy a flat bed with ADF for less than the AIO's and often they are much cheaper. Plus I have had the printer fail before the scanner in many cases. And just for discussion sake. I much prefer the Epson scanners to the HP's. If I have to scan in a picture etc. I will use my Epson and not the HP. Documents HP is OK. I think it is in the software, I have seen numerous comments that their software interface sucks. To add to this discussion. For bulk scanning of documents.

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
I remember that but it was only for newer carts. My RX700 does not use a chip so I have had no problems. the CX8400 does have a chip and I am pretty sure these are from off shore. They are a two piecer. A tank with ink, plus a shell with the chip. They are not the same quality as Epson but they last just as long and are about 1/4 the price. This is not my main printer so I am not as concerned. I have an HP 7650 which is my main color ink jet (Office class from HP) and the refills for this are pretty inexpensive and I get more mileage from it.

Epson won a lawsuit in the Unites States a few years ago that bars third parties from replicating their cartridges, filling them with ink and selling them. A couple of companies designed carts that, while not closely replicating the Epson ones, do work just fine in the printers they were designed for. Epson fumed a bit, but could not really do anything about it. However, because of that lawsuit, Epson third party carts are hard to come by these days. To my knowledge, no other major printer makers have filed similar lawsuits.

I am going to suggest that you remove the printhead, if it is user removable, and a number of Canon models do have easily removable printheads, and clean it out. Use distilled water. You can find instructions on how to do this on the internet. Said instructions may not be exact per your printer, but the methodology is about the same. Inject the water into the printhead, thus flushing it out well, let 'er dry, pop the head back in, load your carts and see what transpires. You can probaly find instructions of you search on something like "clean canon printhead." I have found these instruction previously, so I know they are out there and folks say it worked for them.

Epson won a lawsuit in the Unites States a few years ago that bars third parties from replicating their cartridges, filling them with ink and selling them. A couple of companies designed carts that, while not closely replicating the Epson ones, do work just fine in the printers they were designed for. Epson fumed a bit, but could not really do anything about it. However, because of that lawsuit, Epson third party carts are hard to come by these days. To my knowledge, no other major printer makers have filed similar lawsuits.

[CGUYS] Canon i9900 prints reds and pinks where gray should be.
I have a Canon i9900 that is printing reds and pinks where it should be printing grays. I tried flipping and switching color space and profiles, but what it came down to was paper selection. If 'plain' paper is chosen, the colors print pretty close to what I see. If any other choice of paper, photo, photo glossy, photo matte, etc. is selected, the images get a rose colored tint. I suspected a bad color profile, but then I switched the printer to another computer and it repeated the tinting. On plain paper, it was fine. On the others, the color was skewed. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks, Rocky * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
At present I have three different Epson printers. RX700 R300 CX8400 I use generic cartridges in all. The CX8400 uses chips and they have made a system that works successfully with the chips but it is not perfect. Matter of fact the refills I got for the CX are from Ebay. No blow ups no out right failures. Just be aware that Epsons seems to go through a lot of ink. Read reviews on Cnet first. You should be able to get a comparable HP for a similar price and their cartridges seem to last longer.

There are companies, but not a lot of them, that make "generic" inks for many printers that provide for better color reproduction and a higher degree of archival quality than the inks offered by the printer makers themselves. These ink makers do not primarily cater to folks who are simply looking for cheaper inks for their printers, but rather to folks who seek very high quality inks for purposes usually related to the production of artwork. Some of their basic are less expensive then what is offered by the printer manufacturer, while many of their higher-end inks are not, and some of their ink sets are not even offered by the printer maker, probably most specifically the quadtone inksets and carbon-based inks for black and white imaging. These carbon-based inks can create b&w images that are virtually indistinguishable from real photographic silver prints. Higher end inks are usually paired up with certain papers using ICC color profiles to be able to achieve the intended final result. My point is that third-party ink makers are not necessarily providers of lesser quality inks. However, most generic ink makers do not provide inks that are the equivalent of the original inks made by the printer manufacturer. The best generic ink suppliers will give you information about how their inks stack up against the originals. They will do this by comparing the chemical analysis of their inks against the inks made by the printer manufacturer, including two important points, the viscosity and ph factors of the ink.

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
Normally, I don't recommend using generic ink, but if you're not going for excellent color reproduction or archival quality, generics can save you $. Innovera makes inks for several Epson models, & so far I haven't had a problem. Nobody's going to give you a page count/cartridge figure. The only way I calculated ours was to keep track for the first cartridge set vs. page count, & come up with a (very rough) estimate. Of course, we'd already bought the printer. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.

Re: [CGUYS] epson workforce 610
On Ink jets I always look for individual color ink tanks. I go through yellow faster than everything else and on three ink tank would only half empty the other two. I tried to standardize to one brand of printer in the house because I have Ink that works on both printers. My Canon's have two black ink tanks a big one and a smaller one. Downside is that it still won't print if the black 5 tank is empty and the black 8 tank is full. -- John Duncan Yoyo ---o) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
