Hints and tips on how to maintain and get the best from your printer.

Any Epson printer not fitted with a colour display communicates error states by flashing different sequences of lights at you.  These are explained in your products instruction manual.

Most combinations are ink out, paper jam or other normal day to day things that can usually be cured easily by yourself.  There are several other states that do require an engineers attentions caused by physical failure inside the printer.

One such state can be fixed by yourself for no cost.

All Epsons will eventually report to you that “parts inside the printer require a service”.  This usually means that the waste ink tank inside the printer is full.  

The screen message is usually accompanied by the two red lights on your printer flashing alternately.

Print quality with virtually any make and model of modern printer these days is of very good quality and it is hard to tell one printers output from another.  The difference is in the cost of printing.  The cost of the same print from different printers can vary hugely.  A lexmark printer using the 27 colour cartridge will cost over £8 to print one A4 photo.  We have found HP technology to be far more efficient in its usage of ink than other manufacturers products.  Some care needs to be taken when choosing an HP though as some of them can only use very small cartridges.  Email me at jon.squires@continuink.co.uk before you buy, let me know what you are thinking of buying and I’ll advise.
