Here is my story and believe me, I have learned a valuable lesson. While in use, there is actually a negitive pressure in the tanks.
I have seen it a million times (may not quite a million). The OEM tanks are vented very specially to prevent what you described. I'll bet a cheeseburger with everything on it that non-OEM inks were being used. Dye based inks is usually no problemīut you wanna know what. it is possible that if marlinsinger's printer was using the pigmented inks and it sat around for a long time, it is common for the priming pump waste tube to plug up on pigmented inks. I fool around with printers from time to time. So now I have more room on my computer desk and a scanner that the scans need no touch upĭon't get marlinsinger going on the Epson leaking or oozing ink cartridge issue! I choose an all - in - one this time around as my flatbed scanner is quite old (8+ years as I can remember) and the color scans were looking a bit washed out. I played with it a bit last night and I like it a lot.
My 3 - 4 year old Epson R220 died over the weekend and I ordered and received the RX595. If you look at at another way, I guess a fresh print head could be desirable also. When ever I shop for a printer, I always look at what it costs to keep it supplied. I like Epson because you are only buying ink tanks as opposed to an HP where when you buy an ink cartridge, you are also buying a print head. I guess I will go make my purchase - FINALLY!!
I have read on the reviews for the c5280 that some people had to update the drivers from the hp website b/c the ones that came with the printer were outdated and the printer wasn't working properly.
