1L is warranty from HP. 4-6L expected life. Less or more depending how you use it.
Thanks balstestrat, that explains why im finding some printers that use printheads for 1-2years and found it hard to believe the 1litre rule
Good morning, I am also starting to have problems with the head supplies. I just bought a compatible ink and I still don't know how well it will work, but I can't find the heads anywhere. Could you tell me how you managed to switch to the double CMYK configuration? And how are the 831 heads arranged? I am interested in the subject. Greetings and thanks for the help
You might not like this, but it's proabbly time to get a new machine. I know this is a hard pill to swollow, but the ongoing pains that third party inks bring is going to drive you mad and cost you money. It worked for me for some time, but the inks became a massive issue. My conversion back then was easier because I disabled the light colours on the machine shortly after getting the 280, which led to a simpler colour swop between the heads. But again, please forget this route. Time to let it go
I actually went back to solvent machines and honestly, haven't been happier not having to deal with the issues that latex bring. I really miss the instant readiness of prints, but that's about it.I appreciate your advice, but I bought a lot of units of each ink cartridge some time ago, so in addition to the hard pill to swallow of retiring the printer, I also have a lot of money in supplies that I would like to use up. My idea is to get new printheads so that I can use up all that ink and then see what happens. I found a supplier who sells them with the chip and colors already changed, tested and ready to use for $150, which doesn't seem so bad, right? Could you tell me what kind of problems you had with the inks? It's the only thing I haven't tried yet. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer and helpPuede que no le guste esto, pero es probable que sea hora de comprar una nueva máquina. Sé que esta es una píldora difícil de tragar, pero los dolores continuos que traen las tintas de terceros lo volverán loco y le costarán dinero. Funcionó para mí durante algún tiempo, pero las tintas se convirtieron en un gran problema. Mi conversión en ese entonces fue más fácil porque deshabilité los colores claros en la máquina poco después de obtener el 280, lo que condujo a un cambio de color más simple entre las cabezas. Pero de nuevo, por favor olvide esta ruta. Es hora de dejarlo ir
¡¡¡Buena suerte!!!
The ink problems ran the entire gamut. Supply issues, ink that would go "gummy", ink blowing printheads, ink not curing, ink fading, inconsistant colour. It just became totally unmanageable.
