#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.

DIRTY WORK STUDIO BRINGS RISOGRAPH PRINTING TO KW

Waterloo Region now has its first risograph print shop, thanks to the team behind Dirty Work Studio.  

The four studiomates, Sid Drmay, Elise Glaser, Shalaka Jadhav and Natalie Vuong, came together through what they describe as a mutual interest in creating a space where visual artists can gather to develop their printing and publishing skills with peers. 

The initial idea for Dirty Work Studio came about when Jadhav and Drmay attended a studio sale put on by the previous tenants—a pair of artists who have since moved out East. 

“Sid and I, at different points in the afternoon [had come] by. We saw the space, sort of had the same idea and got really excited about the potential,” Jadhav said. 

Around the same time that the studio space became available, Drmay was also in the middle of acquiring a SF5130 risograph printer via a connection in Montreal. 

“Risographs are a print method that uses an ink drum and soy-based ink, that basically uses a stencil method to push ink through the stencil and print onto the page, and you can do a lot really quickly,” Drmay said.  

“It’s really popular with art prints, because you can do so much to add depth to your print,” they said. 

“For example, with inkjet printing, it combines the different colours as it’s putting it on, whereas with [risograph printing], each [ink] drum is the colour. So, you can get really vibrant colours that you wouldn’t get with traditional print methods,” Vuong said. 

Outside of Dirty Work Studio, all four studiomates are heavily involved with local arts organizations and community groups within the region.

Glaser manages the independent magazine collection at Disko Coffee. Drmay runs KW Zinetopia and the Hamilton Zine Machine. As part of her freelance graphic design work, Vuong handles design and social media for Roux Bakehouse. Jadhav is a member of the Creek Collective, KW Zinetopia and is also a writer-in-residence for CAFKA.25.  

“I was coming from Seattle, and within the first month, there was a zine fair that Sid was running which was just right up my alley,” Glaser said. 

“I feel really lucky to have met everyone. There’s a really vibrant arts community here,” she said. 

Beyond its function as a print shop, the studiomates hope to cultivate Dirty Work Studio as a catch-all space to support programming and events.  

“All of us, we come from print, community organizing, makerspaces,” Jadhav said.  

“It started off as a co-working space and a print studio, but the past few weeks [there has been] a lot of programming. Having informal spaces for creative community [to] get together is how interesting work and collaborations can happen,” they said.  

“On average in a month, we’re looking to have at least five or six events. I’ve got a monthly cyber-thriller movie night, [Elise] has her monthly lecture series, there’s a deplatforming series going on right now. At this point we have a few things lined up where we’re providing space for folks doing different things, working with them to make their events successes too,” Drmay said. 

“As much as we love working here and having that workspace, it is also really important to all of us to be able to have folks in here and run fun things, bring people together, because I think we’re all very passionate about having that kind of space here,” they said.  

The studio is not currently categorized as a non-profit and is therefore operating without any public funding, although they are eligible for some grants.  

“This is a labour of love. We currently don’t have any funding to this work. We were very lucky at our launch to get donations,” Jadhav said.  

“For this to be more sustainable, it would be amazing to have more support from the community.” 

Dirty Work Studio is open for risograph printing as of this past February and can be contacted for quotes at [email protected].  

News about upcoming programming can be found on their Instagram  
@dirtyworkstudio. 

This article has been updated to reflect the following facts : It was Drmay, not Jadhav who purchased the printer; the earlier version of this article stated that the studio cannot be categorized as a non-profit—this is incorrect as they could be classified as one after going through the legal process.

this unlike the Canon Pixma 3250 inkjet printer I've been using until now, which was the crappiest piece of shit hardware I have ever owned!

Thanks everyone for the answers and tips.

Looks like the Brother MFC-J5340DWE EcoPro could be fulfilling his requirements:

- copy on the device, without a PC attached
- zoom when copying
- scan to USB or scan to network
- price range
- LAN or USB

Can anyone confirm this one is working on Linux?

An update to my previous post
https://mas.to/@Judeau/115305731549315202

The replacement gear came in & It works like a charm!

Unfortunately, while it goes through the motions, nothing actually prints on the paper. Previously the head had a lot of dried ink on it. I suspect there's dried ink inside somewhere.

Is there a good way to go about cleaning the printhead? Could I soak it in hot water or some cleaning solution?

Not sure if it's a win for open source... or a loss by promoting more paper and resource waste. Looks neat though.

After trouble shooting various things with no success I decided to open up the printer. Guess what? Cracked drive gear! 😂

Mine is not split all the way through which is the paper rollers were still functioning but eventually the drive motor catches on the split in the gear and hangs up.

Now to order a new gear and get this thing up and running!

After verifying the ink cartridges were good I gave everything a good cleaning. I then turned on the printer and hoped for the best. The printer went through it’s start up cycle. It pulled a sheet of paper through. The rollers griped and turned well. The print head cycled from one side to the other and then suddenly stopped and an awful vibrating sound emitted from the printer.

🧵 1/3
For an upcoming project I picked up an old Canon iP90 inkjet printer.

Both the iP90 and iP90V are notorious for having a cracking drive gear. Supposedly it would grip and feed paper through the printer, which to me, would indicate that the drive gear was good. But the seller was not able to do any testing and sold it as-is.

So I took a gamble because it was a great price and came with some extras.

I just purchased a 19 year old #inkjet #printer for a project.

It has a black and a color ink cartridge already installed and came with some new ones that are still sealed.

I don't like waste. Is there any harm in trying the ones that are already installed or could that cause major issues?

If so then I will just pitch them and hope the sealed ones are still good.

I mean if it's not opened, it's new. If it is, did ANYONE count to see if all 500 sheets are there? 😂

Hey #Inkjet #printer people.
What's your preferred #refill supplier?
Have a brother MFC, and in the market for some more refills. Had one a couple of years ago for like 10€ or something. Anything above that, with higher quality, or just stick to the cheapest?

Forse è arrivato il momento di cambiare la mia stampante HP, anno 2019.
Nero e colore, poche stampe non serve scanner. Avete qualche consiglio da passarmi?
