The reasons for the short service life of the ink cartridges and related factors

There are several reasons for EPSON printers:

1. The printer is not frequently used: The information after the printer is cleaned is stored on the motherboard of the printer. After the power is turned off, this chip is mainly powered by the 3V battery on the motherboard to save the cleaned information. The time it takes to save information is limited, usually around 2 - 3 days. Over time, cleaning information will be lost. (Of course it is also related to the size of the battery's energy, but this phenomenon rarely occurs.) If the printer starts the printer after a 2- to 3-days later, the print head cleaning operation program is executed, and it is easy to consume ink. This phenomenon depends on the actual situation to solve the problem.

2. The user is unfamiliar with the concept of print head cleaning: if the print is considered to be poor (perhaps due to other factors), the print head cleaning procedure is performed, thereby wasting unnecessary waste of ink. Actually, the print head cleaning is based on the principle that the gears in the water pump rapidly rotate and squeeze the air, and the ink in the ink cartridge is pumped down. That is, whenever a cleaning is performed, a certain amount of ink is consumed, and this operation is often performed. The ink cartridge is obviously Relatively speaking, its service life is short. Remember to clean the print head only when the print quality is poor. Otherwise, the cartridge will have a short life.

3. Frequently print pictures that are heavier than a certain color: When playing pictures, you can't avoid printing certain pictures that are biased to a certain color according to your needs. The ink information on the print head chip is completely measured by the resolution level + how many ink drops are ejected + the number of times the print head is cleaned. If the print is heavier than a certain color image, the print head controls the ink droplets of a certain color to run out prematurely. When the chip in the print head runs out of ink for measuring a certain color, the entire cartridge cannot be used even if there is ink in the other. So it appears that this cartridge has quickly consumed up without hitting other pictures. In order to avoid this phenomenon, in addition to the work necessary, should make some balanced color pictures in order to make full use of the entire cartridge.

4. Misunderstanding of the user's resolution: As we all know, the level of resolution directly affects the printing effect. The higher the resolution, the faster the ink consumption. For ordinary documents, the print mode should be selected 360dpi. If you print high quality pictures, select the 720dpi print mode. In addition to being necessary, the default 360dpi mode should be used for printing.

Factors related to cartridge life

In the process of using color inkjet cartridges (here refers to the same cartridges), pay attention to the balanced use of the three colors of red, yellow and blue, do not only play pictures that emphasize only one color, as long as the cartridge is used up Color, even if the other colors are not used up, the inkjet cartridge cannot continue to be used.

In general, the higher the resolution of the printed image, the more ink is used.

Light colors that consume less ink, and red or blue composite colors require more than one basic color synthesis, and therefore require more ink consumption.
