EPSON 925 Cleaning

SirToppam;

I have a 925 and find the heads do clog quite easily, certainly it's worse than my old Epson 740 which is now on my son's PC.

The worst thing seems to be Mrs KM-Hs habit of not turning the printer OFF, this leaves the heads unparked and does cause problems.

However, Epson are not telling porkies, while you can replace the heads yourself (and its a BITCH to do it, with or without manual) the printer does need to be calibrated coarse in mechanical terms using a plastic bracket and then using special software which Epson US will not release.

Also, bear in mind 925s are out of production, so you could pick up Epson re-cons cheap ($49) when they were in stock over here.

I stick with mine because I like the built in card reader and the roll paper/cutter facility. On the other hand new models will print directly on DVD/CD's which would be a plus. . . . . .
