What is the difference between epson 126 and 127 ink

In that time I have had two cartridges which failed to 'flow' and I just wrote that off to the cost of doing business. Unhappily it is no good me giving you a link to my supplier as they are in the UK and you aren't. I have just had a quick look at their web-site and Canon cartridges have contents listed by millilitres as do some Epsons but not all. I didn't see a listing for your but that may be because it isn't marketed under that number in the UK. Posted 08 February - PM.

The ways different suppliers rate their cartridges never seems to correlate with one another, I've found. And I've been purchasing refills for over 30 years. As with Chris, I too have a good supplier here in the UK Two things I will say. If, like me, you prefer Epsons and I've been using them for decades , you need to know that Epsons always tend to err on the excessively blue side with their colour 'mixing'.

Therefore, you invariably find that your red cartridge will run out first, shortly followed by your yellow! The other thing I would recommend looking into if you do a lot of printed pages is the Epson 'Eco-Tank' system, where you don't replace cartridges at all.

Instead, you refill large, externally-mounted ink tanks from 1 litre refill bottles. The machines cost that bit more in the first place, but the savings, in real terms, can be quite noticeable.

Good suppliers are out there; you've just got to persevere until you find 'em. And then stick with 'em! Distros :- Nowt but Puppies My observation is that Canon and Epson, I believe, but I could be mistaken both market printers where the print head is part of the printer, not of the ink cartridge, and getting this style can result in very significant savings if you go with aftermarket ink tanks and even greater savings if you go with self-refillable tanks.

I've been using Canon printers that employ this arrangement for years and always buy a set of refillable ink tanks with automatic reset chips so the printer believes the tank is full if you remove the tank to fill it then reinsert it as my first purchase after the printer.

I have quart sized bottles of all three color inks plus dye-based black along with a 2-quart bottle of pigmented black. This is probably enough ink to last me most of the rest of my natural lifetime and the entire quantity cost less than a single set of OEM ink tanks.

I have never had any problem with these tanks with the exception of the pigmented black. It appears that the amount of pigment in the ink I bought is higher than in the OEM ink and it caused clogging in the print head, which was easily cleared. Posted 09 February - PM. I've spent some time with Canon. Lexmark and HP cartridges, by wieghing each new cartridge and then weighing again when the unit says they are low and again when they exhibit no ink.

The ink in most is only around two to three grams, even the XL cartridges don't have a representative amount of ink to account for double the price. Printer ink, the most expensive liquid in the world. With the advent of "chipped" ink tanks it is often impossible to refill OEM tanks as one once could unless you buy a chip resetter, and those don't always work.

That being said, I have yet to find a chipped tank where there is not an aftermarket equivalent refillable tank with an automatic reset chip ARC on it and where the fill port is already present and with a silicone stopper that matches the intended ink color.

Posted 11 February - AM. HP makes a pretty good cartridge that lends towards easy refilling. For those clients that have the newer units with the chip reset, I usually just swap out another pair, that is, two pairs besides the ones in the unit. Epson sells two versions of most of their inks: a standard capacity cartridge, and a high capacity cartridge. The and cartridges are compatible. Press one of the Start buttons, then press the OK button.

Press the OK button again. Press the right or left arrow button to highlight the ink tank you refilled, and press the OK button to select it. The ink cartridges may not have been installed using the correct procedure or they may not be seated correctly. If your printer is consuming too much ink during printing, try these solutions: Make sure you selected the correct Media Type setting in the printer driver that matches the paper you loaded in the printer.

High-capacity Epson Black T can print about pages, extra high capacity XL is better value. High-capacity Epson Color can print about pages.

So if you want to save money you should buy the Epson XL cartridges. An even better option is to purchase XL compatible cartridges from House Of Inks as they cost less than half the price of the Epson ones and do the same job.

We buy from HouseOfInks ourselves. You can reference from above the xl capacity whilst below is the Epson standard capacity page yield as the fit some of the printer listed and probably can with your printer worst value. Although technology is pushing us towards paperless environments for our offices and homes, some documents still need to be printed.
