Printer problems

[Fr Paul]

Hi Folks

I am a new member

I have bought a new printer, an epson DX7450 and I am having some problems using "compatable" inks. Has any one else had problems?

Hi Thanks for asking.

I bought compatable inks and they just don't seem to work very well. The printer seems to accept three of the inks and rejects one, I replace the one and the it finds somthing else to complane about eg the black is patchy and will not clear with a head clean, then all of a sudden nothing comes through, yet the inks are not showing depleated. I have an Epson colour 460 and this is no problem at all. I still have it and am having to use it as a fall back. The epson inks gave me no problems at all, may be I have to go back to them.

Thanks Davmac82,

I thought as much. The problem is which compatible inks can I trust? I there a particular make that has been tried and tested?

their are a number of factors like wear, ink brand and others i can't really think of ..LOL
The ink passes through a simple if i may call it a strain guage, so the contacts may just need a damp wipe.to better work

mate if its of any use to you . i brouht a canonpixma ip3300 . i inject my own ink when it runs out . the printer would stop printing and a message window would pop up on the computer saying it cannot continue . but the beauty of this printer is the over ride button which forces the printer to continue printing . its the only button to the right of the green start switch . i would print 1,000 of doc and its costing me nothing . i just buy the cheap ink kits from tesco .
