Check out their website (google their name) and look at all of their products. It sounds like you ordered the wrong system for your printing needs.not Adaptive Inks fault. They have a dye ink system that is "less than a penny-per-page". Why didn't you purchase their Pro-Series CISS? their smallest system is 900mL and their largest is 2,880mL total ink volume and you don't even have to refill them yourself. My question to you sir is that your only negative about the Adaptive Ink Mini-Pro CISS is its capacity (400mL total ink volume). Since I own an Adaptive Ink continuous ink supply system (CISS) I believe I an qualified to respond to that part of this thread (I have it hooked up to my Ricoh G700 printer ). Reply to Adaptive Ink Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) I really need laser or something more piratical and cheap. or some documents for office but sucks for flyers. it's really good printing 100 or so at a time. output tray is really small, solution, elevate the printer and put it a bit on diagonal and use a basket to collect the sheetsĬost per page is great but the system has some issues. ciss is great but has a low capacity, you will need to fill it often you can't print more then 40pages without failing because you have to wait to printheads fill with ink (you can minimize a bit this problem by increasing the dry time to max) printer paper handling has problems, it prints blank sometimes, pages get stuck (workaround installing other printer driver, it works) I can find this ink for about 28€ per 1 litter.ġx940xl cartridge has 16m of ink that in 5% coverage has a yied of 1400 pages.Ĥx1liter 1000ml of inktec ink costs about 120€ and lasts for 21875pages giving a price per page of 0,0055€ but I found out that inktec has the best price/quality. no problem 3 year warranty.Ībout the ink, I've tried before cheap inks. no problem hp will replace them for free. of course my printheads don't last forever and I've to replace them after about 100k printings. printheads have a warranty give by a period of time starting at the date of manufacture. no problem.Ī note about printheads: I known this would be a major problem so I've searched about it. everything is ok but no ink level, as expected due to chips.
#My officejet pro 8500 a910 needs new printheads install
only problem is the low capacity.Īnyway I've install it on the 8500. I wanted to avoid cheap ciss that don't work very well so I bought adaptiveink mini CISS that works using sealed bladders, so no problem with bubbles etc. So I searched a lot about cartridges and cartriges yield and how much ink there was in a cartridge and came to a conclusion that 940xl was better and a 8500hp is built to print 15k pages per month. I've tried an k550 and a cheap ciss and this didn't worked very well due to the ciss system and k550 temperament. to find the printer that spends LESS ink per page (not cartridges but ink per page) a printer with cartridges WITHOUT built-in printheads to only use pigment ink because it's more waterproof and gives less problems I wanted the lowest cost per page in colour because I need to print about 40k A6 flyers + about 10k of brochures and some more stuff.
