#cartridges — Public Fediverse posts

#Inkjet #cartridges suck and should be banned! Finally got some more paper for my #printer today but then the #cyan cartridge runs out of #ink, so I put in a new cartridge and guess what? The new one doesn’t work at all despite the printer saying the cartridge is full of ink. Like, I tried everything to fix it including reinserting the cartridge, doing the #nozzle check, cleaning the heads, performing a head realignment, restarting the printer, updating the #firmware, printing a cyan purge test page, none of that worked. The last two options I can think of are
1. Try using an official #Epson cartridge, since we’ve been using aftermarket cartridges for a while since the official ones are way #overpriced, but the aftermarket ones have been working fine up until now and if it doesn’t work, then that’s money on an #expensive Epson cartridge wasted.
Or
2. Just get rid of this #capitalist cartridge printer and buy a #tank one, because I’m done with printer companies locking us into #proprietary cartridges. I wanna be able to use whatever ink we buy without having crappy #DRM. Plus this printer is now 10 years old anyways, it’s lasted surprisingly long and has outlasted very other printer we had, but this problem as well as the constant need to realign the heads to stop lines from going through the ink are signs it’s time to upgrade to a tank printer.

I hope one day the governments of the world ban inkjet cartridges, because they are horrible for the #environment and are just here to keep prices up.

Pics attached of the #nozzles in case anyone can see what’s gone wrong, but I highly doubt there is anything that can be seen.

Think back to the first time you used any type of games on a removable media, What was the first media format you started with? It was cartridges for me on my Sega Master System 2! 🎮

This is a '99er.

Check out this TI-99/4A setup ... collection ... room. It's the most impressive TI-99 situation I've ever beheld. Just, wow. Posted by John Carr on Facebook, showing the culmination of his lifetime of collecting.

Watching last night’s #RetroElectroWorkshop from #Yesterday channel, and just heard that the #Commodore64 was one of the first #computers to have #cartridges for games. Erm …. no. Also the voiceover man keeps saying #gameConsole for the #Speccy and #C64 being worked on. And breathe … #Spectrum #ZXSpectrum #RetroComputing #80sComputing
