The strategy I take when it comes to my R2400 and the flashing lights
is that when the warning starts flashing, I check the status and see
what the approximate state of all the tanks is. I start watching the
report of "the printer has enough ink to pring X number of prints like
the last one". I make sure I have a replacement tank handy for the one
Interesting... My R2880 doesn't provide this type of diagnostics.
It varies among the 3 Epsons I have.
already flashing plus any others that look to be close ... if when it
stops printing, one or two others are flashing AND another one or two
look very close, I *might* change 'em all out as the purge and cycle
after installing a new cart will often take the ones that are *almost*
flashing and suck them near dry, which will waste more ink on the
purge and cycle when I replace those half an hour later.
So, does the printer purge _all_ of them when you replace only one?
I.e. it doesn't recognize which ones you've replaced, assuming it
was done to all of them. Correct?
On mine, all the other cartridges are used during the purge cycle, thats
part of the purging cycle - frequently running the purge will use enought of
the other cartridges ink to cause the printer to tell me they are now low.
