How do I check my ink levels
812048
You can check a few ways - either via the status monitor using the Epson software you should have installed on your computer when you initially set-up the printer, or on the printer itself push the "setup" button. On the next menu select "ink levels". They will display on the printer screen.

No clue. We only have a copier. I don't have an ink jet to test, otherwise I would. Sorry!

Yes, that is how it communicates with the printer to let you know what the ink level is and when it is empty.

Another thing you can try, (that has worked for me when ink is so low that printer will not print, yet there's still ink in cartridge), is to place a small piece of duct or masking tape over the clear part of the cartridge. That's where/how the printer itself recognizes ink levels in the cartridges.

I don't know. I just know that when I put the ink in my printer that it showed empty. I would not waste my money on them.

My ink cartridges are 4 different colors. I do not wish to cross contaminate.

I've been using the printer for 5 months, and still have not run out of the colored inks. I am not a heavy user for photos, so can't actually directly answer your question. Since no one else has come forward, I thought I might offer a mathematical suggestion.Go to the printer maintenance picture where it displays the amount of ink you have in the cartridges. Print screen that and keep. Print a good number of your photos, over a few days or weeks, whatever, then print out the ink tank picture again. Compare the two printouts for ink levels, and may be able to give some imprecise indication of how much ink you are using.

They have new and used cartridges. I bought the new ones and it shows that it's full, but I haven't used one to the empty level yet They work just like the one I had before. I'm very satisfied with them. It does say not to refill them because once their empty the mechanism it it won't work to show the ink level.

Youtube.....plenty of videos, several methods. I don't know anyone that certifies ink, though---but it is not that critical unless you are doing a lot of photo work. Here''s a thought though: If you are asking these questions, you are not doing enough volume to buy in volume. My recommendation is to go to an honest intermediate supplier. There are many, but I had several years of honest dealings with Gordon at Printer Filling Station in the past. Good Luck.

Do a nozzle check on your printer. Run three consecutive cleaning cylces.Change your graphic to a jpg and print in rgb.Google it.Just a couple suggestions.

Talk the cartage out " black & color " and reinstall again and see if the ink levels are displayed and where the levels are shown . Make sure that the printer window is set on photo print / copy's in color not black n white . I am not fully educated on this printer , check the instructions to make sure you / me are doing it correctly. I hope this helps ..

When you take them out of the box, they are wrapped with a plastic membrane designed to minimize evaporation of the ink. Once you remove that membrane, you can see just how much ink is in the cartridge.

I normally use them before they expire. But I can say that printer will not know the ink levels with these cartridges.

Check your ink levels, if you are out of any color you may see banding. Also clean the printer heads.
