Tip 91 - About Epson new cartridges T073/73N etc

Since August 2008, Epson released a new range of printers and cartridges (like T073/73N cartridges) which will only work with each other.

For example,
CX9300F made before August 2008 can take T0731, 732, 733 and 734 cartridges, and T073/73N cartridges.
CX9300F made after August 2008 can only take T073/73N cartridges.

If you are unsure when your printer is manufactured, just check your user manual and see what cartridges do it need.

Tip No 90 - Pause printing

If you often print large photos, you may wish to purchase a printer which allows you to pause the printing and change the cartridges halfway when they are nearly empty. Ask the salesperson on which printer they sell have this feature.

Tip No 89 - Should I buy refillable cartridge?

Refillable cartridge seems like an excellent idea to slash printing costs, but it depends on how much you print. Remember, when you buy your refill ink in bulk, they have to be used up within 6 months. If you only print 1 page a month, normal cartridges is definately a cheaper option for you. If you go through at least 3 sets of cartridges every 6 month, that's when you can enjoy the cost savings of refillable cartridges.

Tip No 88 - Speed up your PC

Windows may be starting files that are on their way to the printer in their "raw" form. That's sometimes the default Windows setting. But raw files must be converted from their raw format that the application understood to the printer format. If you instead tell Windows to send documents as EMF -- Enhanced Metafile Format -- files, then Windows doesn't have to work at the conversion. The printer is then responsible for understanding the EMF. That can slow the printer but speed your PC. To send documents as EMF, first choose Start, Settings, Printers. Next, right-click the printer you're using. Choose Properties, Details, Spool Settings. In the Spool Data Format list, choose EMF. Easy enough.
