Epson wore out

After a year and 3 days of use, my Epson 2200 had had enough. The waste ink
pads/reservoir are full. Epson says this is "normal wear", but is not
user-serviceable. Fortunately, they will replace the printer under
warranty. Next year when this happens I'll have to pay myself for a new one
or ship it somewhere for service.

Do other makes of printer have this fatal flaw? I may be looking for a new
one in a year.

Alan - Almost all of the inkjet printers have the waste ink pad full
problem. I have read that the Epsons have a tube that can be rerouted
outside the case in the back and into a collecting bottle that you can
empty. The printer probably keeps a running estimate of how much ink it
dumps into the waste ink pad and signals you to take it in for servicing (to
avoid having it overflow at some point and damage your desk, carpet, etc.
I know that the Canon's have the same issue and that there are sites on the
internet with the reset codes to keep the printer going. I have read that
with the Canon printers you can get away with one reset without servicing
the pad. I have also seen instructions on how to open the case on some
Canons and replace or clean the pad as well. The Epson 2200 is fairly
costly and I don't know how easy it is to open the case without damaging the
printer. It is very nice that Epson will replace the printer under warrany
for you as this is actually a service issue and not "wear and tear", damage,
or a defect in the general sense. The whole issue of this item not being
user-servicable for the inkjets in general is a design defect from the
consumer's viewpoint and has been discussed at length on this NG in previous
months. Since it is a predictable consequence of useing the printer, and
professional servicing is often close to the cost of a new printer, it
should be designed for easy servicing. This would be the equivalent of the
car manufacturers making oil draining and replacement sufficiently difficult
that it could only be done by mechanics at the respective manufacturers'
agencies. A predictable servicing requirement that, with proper design and
a simple description in the users' manual, could be done easily at home.

As the printer will be well out of warranty unless you have an extended
warranty, if just a year then now is the time to consider a waste bottle and
the Epson Adjustment Program. Once you have the bottle fitted you can reset
the printer as many times as required. The 2200 is a fine piece of kit I
have the 2100 which is the UK version.

To fit a waste bottle is quite simple and requires no stripping of the
printer if care is taken. All you have to do is feed a 2mm pipe through the
air vent and with long nosed pliers or tweezers feed it up to the waste
pipe, you don't even have to cut the pipe instead gently pull it up from the
pads and feed it round the head rest and connect, then away you go. There is
a lot of info out there with pictures to help if required.

My 2100 is well over four years old and still runs like the day I purchased
it. Hope this is of some help.

I've replied to you in private email concerning this issue.

Do you have any idea why your protection numbers came up sp quickly?
Are you going through a lot of cartridges, or doing a high quantity of
cleanings?

I would not consider this a normal result.

It's the Media Street inks. They require lots and lots of cleaning cycles
to keep the cartridges working.

To me, when an ink simply doesn't properly "work" with an Epson printer
design, they need to get back to the drawing board. Either that, or
they should warn people of the extra expense that people will likely
incur from the use of a clog-prone ink.

Maybe they should offer free waste ink pad replacement if you buy a
certain amount of ink ;-)

You get what you pay for. MS ink is 1/5 the price of Epson (after a $300
initial investment, which I saved in just a few months). They both look
good and are archival, being the most important things. Given the problems,
it's about borderline whether to continue with them. I will suggest that
they address the waste ink problem.

I don't know of any clog prone inks. I've seen the effects of some
universal inks on older canons, and gotta say the level of quality
wasnt' *as* good, but by no means did it clog the printhead. In epsons
i've seen them leak. There is some stuff at the local Big Lots that
claims to be waterproof because of it's use of solvents. That doesn't
sound all that great to me but I can't speak for it.

I can believe that use of other media might affect the printhead life.
This is a reasonable hypothesis. But I can't say that i've observed
anything that would back this up. The funny thing is, we're talking
about a product... a consumer inkjet, who's lifespan is 1 to 3 years.
Somethign that typicaly is sold with 1/2 to 2/3s it's value in ink.
We're not talking a huge investment except in consumables. We are
talking a product that is designed to be disposable. so much so that
one questions whether to buy more ink or a new printer with ink.

To add comment to a previous question I asked on the newsgroup, has anyone
actually made a constructive analysis of clog-prone inks?

I found it easier to simply move away from clog-prone printers than to
try to analyze "clog-prone" inks.

Canons and the type of inks they use are not clog prone unless left idle
for a few weeks. But I don't have to worry since I use both of my Canons
at least twice a week, with non Canon inks. Infrequent use is the
printer's worst enemy.

Matter of fact Measekite fears clogs so much (judging by the number of
posts he puts up) that he NEVER turns his printer off. It's always on
standby, ready to go. All nozzles throbbing. So at the slightest clog
rumor in this newsgroup or whiff of constipation from his printer, he
runs off 100 pages to cycle his ink. ;-)

Hey I'd seriously consider a 2200. I rather thought you could e-bay
them for under $400, but clearly this may or may not be true depending
on the mood of the sellers.

http://www.inkrepublic.com/KnowledgeBase/WasteInk.asp

Anyone with an epson printer using bulk ink should seriously consider
rerouting of the waste ink to an external reservoir. Actually this
wouldn't be a bad idea for OEM users either, esp out of warranty OEM
users. I have no personal experence with the media street ink, but I
imagine it is possible that it requires more cleanings than OEM. But
the cleaning cycles on the epson are pretty massive to begin with.

But this is a fact of life on inkjets, more so on Epsons.

Hey shmuck, the printers are on a network 24/7. You never turn them
off. You gotta be a jackass or real stupid. Well, you are not a high

My original post on this thread did not concern a cheap consumer inkjet, but
an Epson 2200 (US$650). Okay, maybe a cheap pro printer. But I can't be
replacing it every year because of clogged jets. My impression is that my
problem here has to do with the non-Epson inks I use (Media Street) with a
reservoir system. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the cartridges
don't get replaced, normally.

Media Street makes their own ink and paper. Their plug and play inks
might be made by Image Specalists but their mainstream products are
stuff they mfg and formulate. I do not understand why you continue to
lie on this subject.

We need good people who are critcal of 3rd party solutions who are
happy to play devils advocate and point out in all fairness and honesty
what OEM offers over the other guys. Why don't you do this?

> got what you deserved

Let me understand this... someone bought a product in good faith and it
didn't fit, and you are experencing joy at their misfortune?

I like being right as much as the next man but there reaches a point
where it's just in bad taste. Perhaps you could learn something about
empathy.

A few words of wisdom for you...

1. Most of the 3rd party users here have no real issue. OEM might
offer an edge over some other solution but you your self have not
explained what that edge is.
2. Those who experence issues come here looking for support. These
are humans who deserve kindness and respect
3. This isn't a war. There is nothing wrong with competition on the
market for supplies, in fact competition between ink mfgs benifits the
consumer as it gives the main stream media providers a reason to make
their product better.
4. You don't experence personal injury every time someone makes a
choice to use a 3rd party product. There is no reason for you to be
obsessed with Canon OEM ink. Take a step back, develop some
objectivity, actually learn what options are available and establish a
rational why one might choose one or the other.

For example... I don't tell everyone not to use Canon OEM ink. I think
it's over priced for what it is, something that has been tested for 25
years under glass, or the new formula that has been tested for 10 years
exposed to air on premium OEM paper. This isn't all that great...
canon would be wise to offer consumers imageGRAFF pigments in consumer
models, perhaps with a nifty head upgrade. But I can respect anyone
who has used it and feels the price is worth it.

But alas, my words are wasted on you.. you'll just go into caps lock
nonsense mode and harrass me for expressing a different opinion even
though being a human being like your self I have the right to make my
own choices in what I buy.
 
Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Yeah, that's fine that you found a system that is acceptable to you, but
I do not believe you are producing archival art paints.

Good luck finding a truly non-fugitive ink to run through the Canon
printer you use.

The O.P. had this ink because the permanence it imparted was required to
Ted other side of the coin, the merchants.

Yes, you are pretty ignorant.

Do they make paper from pulp? Not that I'm aware
Do they have a system of inks and papers? Yes
Do they formulate their own coating on their paper? Yes

Canon offers a system of inks and papers that work well together. So
does Media Street. If you had done as much research as you say you
would know this already. I've done very little research and I'm aware
of this. I have no idea why why you feel the need to ignore facts.
Someone like you self should focus their engery on pointing out
benifits of OEM solutions vs the other guys, and huge difference
between ink mfgs/suppliers is some offer a system and others offer just
ink. Epson is pretty good... they would be tough to beat.

Because Frank's an known idiot-a moron without a brain-a know nothing
pretending to know something.
Kill file the jackass jerk and be done with him.

Well with all due respect... you don't seem to have any information on
the subject what so ever. You seem to only have the ability to make
blanket statements that even when you are proven wrong continue to
raise a foot, switch to all caps, and repeat the same things over and
over again... even though you have no experence with ANY of these
products what so ever. While my research into the subject is minimal,
i've used a few non-standard solutions and have found your opinions to
be invalid to the extreme.

I would thank you kindly to actually apprach this subject with honesty
and integrity and allow users to make up their own minds.
