Special thanks to Gary for calling and explaining to me how he solved the problem with ink cartridges that show as empty but still have ink left in them. Signs 101 is a great place to exchange ideas on how to solve many of the problems we all share in common. Jim

Thanks for the explanation. When I weight the new 220 ml cartridge, and it was 13.2 ml When I did the same thing with the 220 cartridge the printer said should be changed it had 11.0 ml It seems to me that there is plenty of ink left in the cartridge, just my picking it up. Is this...

Thanks for the tip. Did you open the cartridge or just pull it out the side to cut it off? I understand once you cut the tab, the sensor will not warn you about running out of ink. My cartridges are certainly not empty by a long shot, and I always wanted to weight an empty cartridge to see...

At age 75 my memory is not what it used to be. Please explain to me how you used the syringe method to extract and put the ink into another cartridge. Sorry, I forgot about your previous message. Jim

Just wondering out loud if anyone has had any success removing the remaining ink once the printer says it's time to change cartridges. I have many cartridges that feel like they have between 25% or more of the ink is still in them. Each time I place another order for new ink cartridges, it...

I remember when the Roland service manager told me that my SP-300V was a legacy printer and that they would no longer service it or sell me the parts to serve it my self. I told him that's find because there are many other companies, some in China reproducing parts for my printer, and they are...

Many of the techs I knew over the past 15 years have retired. Just wondering if maybe there are any new techs around. Roland will not service my printer because it is considered a Legacy printer. Thanks Jim

Well, I took your advice and the printer is now on Craig's list for sale. Thanks for your help. Jim

Someone mentioned advertising on E-Bay, but I have not used E-Bay for anything since 2005. I am sure what their selling and pricing is any more. I was going to try using Craig's list, but I was warned about all the scams on it. Jim

I am 75 years old and starting to have memory problems, so I ready do need to sell the printer, but I must admit it works as good today as the day it was brand new. Anyone interested can see it working and printing. I converted the printer a number of years ago so that it's just fine using...

I have a Roland SP-300V, and I am trying to figure out where to offer it for sale Thanks for your help.

Well, I have decided to upgraded to Coreldraw 2022 after trying other graphics programs for a few months, and I paid the subscription fee in advance for a year. $269.00 dollars. The key reason I made the choice to upgrade to a yearly subscription was because I have between 1,500 and maybe...

The message I see when open a new coreldraw document say's $269.00 to upgrade and then $22.42 @ month So 22.42 X 12 is $269.04 a year plus $269.00, so it's 538.04 total Is the upgrade change a one time deal? Or is that every year? Thanks Jim

I started using Inkscape, and it is a great graphics program, but I am running into problems when I try and import my CDR images into it. The images are kind of screwed up looking. I have also tried to import the images using SVG with similar results. I am understanding that trying to import...

I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread because it has become very interesting reading. I agree that sometimes in life you hope for the best, but a wise person also plans for the worst, so having another option in mind might be a wise move. Furthermore, I am looking at...

I am read all of the above comments and now trying to figure out my next move. I like using version X-8 which I own and since I have not upgraded to the latest version of Coreldraw and never subscribed for the latest upgrades which I really don't even miss. My bigger problem is I do not like...

Yesterday I received another message from the folks at Corel about subscribing and their plans. I guess first I have to pay either $232.00 or something like that amount, and then I have to start paying them about $22.00 @ month every month to receive the latest and greatest version of CorelDraw...

Thanks, Wild West Design, for all of your advice. Back around 2019 I started looking into InkScape because once the private equity firms purchased CorelDraw they would work hard to extract every nickel they could manage to get out of the business. The original private equity firm was Vector...

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has tried Ink Scape about the pros and cons of using this program. I have a few thousand files

WildWestDesign: I appreciate your comments and I will put some thought into everything you said. I am now 75 years old and still working every day, but at my age things can change very fast. I do use a wide format printer and my version of Corel X-8 works find for me. Thanks for your advice Jim
