Understanding the Basics
While we focus on making high-quality inks, teaching printer repair, and providing tutorials, our approach to third-party ink systems is usually DIY (Do-It-Yourself). This is because many printer models, like the Epson R1900, require customized setups depending on the user's needs and the intended ink type.Here’s how you can approach the process:
-
Learn What’s Needed:
Start by understanding your printer’s requirements for using third-party inks. You’ll need to consider:
- The type of ink (e.g., pigment, dye, sublimation, or solvent inks).
- The ink delivery system, such as refillable cartridges or a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS).
- Any necessary modifications to bypass the printer’s original ink-detection system.
-
Build Your System:
Using third-party inks often requires some creativity and adaptability. Customers typically piece together their system from individual components:
- Refillable Cartridges: These are available for the Epson R1900 and can be filled with third-party ink.
- CISS: A continuous ink supply system can save time and effort if you print frequently. These systems provide a steady ink flow to the printhead, reducing the need for frequent refills.
- Chip Resetters or Arc Chips: Since Epson printers are designed to detect original cartridges, you may need a chip resetter or Auto-Reset Chips (ARC) to allow your printer to recognize third-party cartridges.
-
Trial and Adjustment:
Building a reliable third-party ink system involves trial and error. While it may take time to fine-tune the system to ensure consistent print quality, most users find it manageable with patience and research.
