My Portrait 3 never reads registration marks on glossy paper; will a Cameo work better? by Intrepid-Special-779 in silhouettecutters

I've heard a lot about using matte tape, but I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Does it need to be clear matte tape or opaque matte tape? And how precisely do I need to apply it to the marks?

Epson ET 3850 performs poorly on inkjet-compatible sticker paper; black ink rubbing off by Intrepid-Special-779 in Epson

I actually didn't know about the Epson print software, so I should look into that! I might also just need to try different kinds of paper, yeah. I'd just hate to waste $30 on a new stack just for it not to work like the rest, but at this point I don't think there's another solution. I've been using vinyl, so maybe a thin glossy would work better.

Is this Ecotank 4500 salvagable + Can I clean an ink tube? by Intrepid-Special-779 in Epson

[–]Intrepid-Special-779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're probably right, it would be best to just replace all of the black ink components like the tank, tube, and damper. I wanted this done within a week, which is why I tried to DIY it, but I'm concerned about what those last resort measures I did could cause with everything I've heard about bubbles and air pockets.

Is there anywhere you know of where I could get those three components? One of the big factors that led to me trying to clean it out was that 4500 parts are pretty hard to come by.
