Best Printer: Canon, Epson or HP? 3k Maximum Budget

[jojopad]

Observation ko the cheaper the printer is, the more expensive to use this printer due to frequent replacement and expensive ink cartridges. One good example is Canon, HP.

Epson is more expensive but the ink usage and expenses are lower compared to these other brands.

I am using the free ink that came with my printer. Maubos kaya if I print an A4 photo using my printer?

I don't know where to go to print my photos kasi

for just one print? it depends on how much ink is left. but offhand, unless you are born unlucky, i do not think so.
i always thought, that free ink is standard regular size and not a specially-manufactured-for-demo-purposes-only-undersized cartridge.

the packaging sometimes includes the approximate number of pages per refill.
if it's thrown and gone, google for it, po.

you can bring your camera or the memory storage gadget to the photo store, po.
they have ways to extract the data.

as Quark would have said,

some folks see the covid as a curse.
others see it as an opportunity.

Weird indeed ... usually it's Mac OS that have issues with WiFi printers ...

I have Epson L3150 and was able to connect my Windows 10 desktop PC to it over the network. Pero binind ko yung printer MAC address to 1 IP para if di madetect automatically ng mga devices, they can manually add the printer by entering the printer IP.

Did this route through windows... i set up the manual ip address and makikita naman ang ang mac ng printer but still it did not connect to the router...

may issue yata sa windows driver kasi when i use the mac driver, the same process sa windows, diretso2 connect nya...

I bought an Epson L3150 about a month ago (though, this will apply to any injket printer) and was scraping the internet on how to take care of it. Then I found this video and followed her advice. The darn tip works!

TL;DR,
Avoid using the printer's head-cleaning feature, especially Epson's Power Cleaning, as it wastes a lot of ink and reduces the service life of the ink waste pads. Instead, print out customized purge sheets so you can target only the color or printhead that needs cleaning. This also means, you're printing on paper and not spitting out the ink onto the ink waste pad.

You can find tons of purge files on the internet or you can even make them yourself using just MS Word (the video will show you how). However, be sure to use a purge sheet that matches the number of colors your printer can print. The L3150 has 3 colors + black (CMYK). Other printers may have different shades of the same color (5 colors + black).

Good tip! Thanks for this.

BTT hassle lang ma paper jam itong Epson L3110 unscrew and baklas ka talaga to clear it lalo na pag may naiwan sa feeder. Siraniko pa naman ako.

I just remembered I downloaded an Epson software that will launch a setup wizard and download the correct drivers. That actually worked for me instead of manually downloading a Windows 10 compatible driver from Epson Support page.
