He didn’t say if cleaning it out fixed the problem.
I don’t think fixing it was necessarily the point. I think he was mostly pointing out that if you buy an ink jet printer not only will it F*CK you over by wasting your ink, but that wasting of ink will also break the printer.
And I think it’s implied that it would fix it, since the printer was supposed to be taken in for servicing. Whoever serviced it probably would have just emptied the ink reservoirs.
This is incredibly old info. The printers are designed with this in mind, and very few people ever manage to reach this point. The sponges absorb a TON of ink before filling up, and it also evaporates over time. Generally speaking no printer will survive long enough to fill up a sponge.
This was deceptive and inaccurate when it first hit years ago, and it still is.
TurboFool, do I take it that you are saying a) that the ink drawn off by the printers but not used to actually print (but rather just to clean out the heads) is now and always was optimized? And you now this how? I’d love to correct the impression this video gives if there is some verifiable information to do so.
Not by itself it wouldn’t. The waste ink counter is just an internal tally that gets incremented every time the printer runs a cleaning cycle, and is not measured directly. Unless you know how to reset it, replacing the pads does nothing. Despite covering up the brand, that’s clearly an Epson printer, and fortunately there’s a software tool widely available that gives access to all the engineering functions, including the waste ink counter values. Other printers have software tools or secret button combinations to reset things or gain access to service menus, some easier to find than others.
Does anyone know if cleaning it sorted the problem out? I don’t do too much printing on my injet at home. If I need a batch of digital business cards doing, my local printers is just around the corner from where I live.
My color ink jet printer took a one way trip outta here a few weeks ago.
