From: zakezuke on 25 Jun 2005 23:01 > Office Depot is in the business of selling ink and they told me that > they sell Canon and Epson ink, Actually they have their own line of ink. My local store jumped at the chance to tell me this over the phone. And well i've seen it at their store. They only recently put ip3000/ip4000 on their list of oem carts that they carry, yea they always did have BCI-6 and a nice 4 pack of BCI3e&bci6cmy for $40 but it wasn't listed by model number..... so let me go with an older model http://www.officedepot.com/inkTonerRefine.do?Ne=570+6&Nr=FILTER(domestic)&N=10324+1100001290 And no, they wouldn't tell me who makes it.. the staff has no idea. But they don't know who makes the Canon and Epson ink, except beyond what's on the box.

From: Arthur Entlich on 26 Jun 2005 06:44 I honestly don't know how the paper not absorbing the ink can lead to head clogs. Firstly, Ultrachrome inks are very slow drying if they do not get absorbed into the paper surface. Secondly, the heads shouldn't be so close to the paper than the thickness of the ink is enough to bridge the gap between the paper surface and the head, but even if it did, it would just smear the ink. The heads have a ink wiper that squeegees the heads to remove excess ink of them during cleaning cycles and this occurs during print runs. I would be very surprised that a nonabsorbent paper would clog a head. It does seem rather of a waste of time and effort to print more than once on a paper that doesn't work with the inks one is using, however. Art Shooter wrote: > I believe it can.

OK, now I see where you are "headed" with this. It is true that Kodak uses swellable polymer surface on some of their papers. Swellable polymer is designed to give better permanence to dye inks, so the paper is definitely inappropriate for pigment colorant inks. However, in general, the ink shouldn't be piling up enough to hit the head unless the head has a build up of ink residue on it already. I will give this disclaimer... I haven't studied a 2200 enough to know if for some reason Epson places the heads much closer to the paper surface than most other Epson printers. Normally, with a clean head, ink should not be ending up back on the head surface even if the ink doesn't adsorb into the paper. Art Shooter wrote: > No. I didn't explain very well.
