THAIPHUKET Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I've had several good printers.I need but only rarely use colors. The consequence= by the time color was needed it had dried out.Any suggestions?

Kieran00001 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They dry out if not parked in the right place, if you shut down properly then they will park and seal themselves, but if the power is just cut then they will stay out of park in printing position and will dry out pretty fast. Best way is just follow the manufacturers instructions, which is use it at least once a week and leave it turned on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdietz Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Well at least the yellow won't dry out, it's used to embed identifying information in everything you print. (now you know why it refuses to print black only if the color is out) To prevent drying out, leave the printer switched on (standby) and it'll take care of the drying out by itself. Printing a color test print once a month or so will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 If you want a printer that will print first time, every time, even after several months of sitting ... ... buy a laser printer, even colour lasers are not stupidly expensive now, Canon imageCLASS LBP7018C http://www.invadeit.co.th/product/laser-printers/canon/imageclass-lbp7018c-color-laser-printer--p011404/ 5990 Baht!!

dreytom Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Laser printers are a good alternative but the picture resolution is better on inkjet ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but in reality even the 600DPI resolution of the cheapie laser I referenced is more than adequate for most home/home-office use, particularly if you print on heavy glossy laser-photo paper (don't use inkjet paper, it gums up the works).
