❓ Help Pa'no po naka OpenWRT router ako at for every X days auto-nozzle check? for L3210 po kakabili lang...

[yki01]

Brief background check: Galing ako sa Brother DCP-T310. Leaking Yellow printhead na sya sabi ng technician sa may amin kaya daw di ma fix ng usual cleaning yung missing Yellow print output. Halos kasing mahal daw ng printer yung replacement ng printhead na leaking?!? at more than 3 Yrs na din si T-310 sa'min. Ngayon sakit sa ulo na. Sumuko na ko sa blot, sa paperjam, sa color fading, sayang na talaga ink sa kaka cleaning.

Napabili tuloy ako Epson Ecotank L3210 for home/school use pa din (occasional color print every semestral ng colored exam for kids tapos 220 GSM certificates pag mga March-April for graduation. mga once or twice a month sa offpeak puro black print for announcement letters lang).

Balak ko alagaan talaga ang new Epson baby :S So nabasa ko epson inkjet daw 1 sa best practice may spare na waste ink pad (while nilalabhan/pinapatuyo lumang spongha, noh po?) then na search ko itong sa Lazada Php95:

tank set na po.

How about sa resetter maintenance po? Yung pinagbilhan ko nag-offer sa'kin Php400, sa may kalayuan din sya, pagkakaintindi ko expect need to reset 1-2years casual use?

And nabasa ko para inkjet type pag di nagagamit yung either Black/Magenta/Cyan/Yellow nagbabara daw or tumitigas sa may print head tama po ba? Every 3 days pag brand new kailangan po ba i test print? or mas ok ba coloful photo yung i pang test?

Di naman bukas PC ko magdamag pwede kaya sa OpenWRT router ko i-assign hassle na task para sa makakalimutin na tulad ko?

Tapos naka-frustrate nga sa Brother DCP-T310 na blo-blot or smudge na sa gilid pag mas manipis sa 80GSM paper gamit - how to avoid smudge or best practice para di tularan ni Epson L3210 yung ganitong sakit sa ulo? Anak ng pating, 5minutes na estimate ko nag-blo-blot pa din kakahiya sa parents na bibigyan ng brochures cover pa lang may blot na. Nag monopoly deal story mode sa browser na lang ako ng ilang set para tuyo talaga at di na mag-blot.

OT: bukod sa nabanggit na recommendations sa ibang thread or baka may nasalisi ako na printer care for my new epson inkjet, baka naman po pa-share other golden printer tips, mga fafs? & si brother dcp-t310 ko po, anu pa pong pakinabang nito?

TLDR - bukod sa spare waste ink maintainance box na 90petot then labhan lang used up wastepad sponge at nozzle check every 3 days yata para di magtengga or magbara nozzles. Pa-mention po legit automation po if ever ng OpenWRT router itong task, mga idol?... And kung sakaling mag-loko pa din si printer despite efforts... what & how much po ang mga cheapest solutions?

di naman ganun kadali ma-soak ang waste sponge at mapuno ang waste box. but yes, you can prevent nozzle clogging and wasting a lot of ink doing printhead cleaning by printing regularly. once a week is fine.

i also fairly recently got an Epson. i've just been printing a photo each week and run a nozzle check. no problem naman basta ecotank. having setup Epson PrintConnect, i can print to it from anywhere, kaya di ko pa nai-set yung automatic nozzle check (or printing). i've read a bunch of stuff about how to do this, but i haven't bothered. i have a lot of photos to print anyway, and fiddling with colour management at the moment.

and yes, kailangan coloured yung ipi-print mo para bumuga lahat ng nozzle. i've had several epsons over the years, nagagamit naman. by the time na magkaproblema sa printhead, gusto ko na rin palitan. i'm talking 7+ years na kasi. obviously, magkaiba tayo ng use case.

btw, 'yung pagpi-print ng borderless photo ang nakaka-abuse dun sa waste pad... so beware kung di rin naman talagang kailangan.

good to know. kasi ngayon lang ako nag-ka printer na may borderless feature - L3210. maraming salamat

sana may mag-recommended din na mas busy sa other real life matters bukod sa mag-print weekly kaya nga mas mura na printer binibili nating karamihan lalu na yung mahilig sa automation/autosched print jobs/task yung task na more likely dapat i-automate.

don't worry, i also intend to get this working. just for the heck of it, because i know some people do it. i have also read that some printers have this capability built into the firmware/software. some say it's as easy as getting gmail to print an email (or attached photo), and instead of hitting 'Send', choosing 'Schedule', and selecting 'Weekly'... but i haven't tried this myself.

my first job was as a printer design engineer, but clogged printheads wasn't an issue then:

• dot matrix: ribbon
• thermal printer: no liquid ink
• laser printer: solid toner
• inkjet printer: back in the day, it was more common for the printhead to be "replaced with the ink cartridge", i.e. part of the cartidge

naku, between work and family, free time is a gift. but i have designated myself the archivist of family photos. i have 30,000 in my main LR catalog, with 5 other catalogs. kung once a week ako magpiprint ng isa, mamamatay na ako bago maubos ang laman ng catalog - 'yun eh kung hindi madagdagan ng bagong pics!
