I found a link to the file. I also found a bit torrent for it. I installed it and it works great. It does however take about 3-5 minutes to load the install files once you start the program. http://www.box.net/public/hosirbsvex The bit torrent name is "Epson PrintCD English Takes 5 Minutes to Install .rar" I also found it using Limewire with the same name.
None of the inks from merit and super have been black colored and my black cartridges run out before the rest but any copying on line I use the 340 I get over a 120 discs and usual printing out of a set of cartridges Chris
Good deal on ink at supermediastore, 6 carts + 20 free 4 x 6 inch photo paper sheets and printhead cleaner Cartridge + Free Ground Shipping, $17.76 until 12-25-06. Newbious
You guys are probably well ahead of me here but Stpales in Canada has the Canon Pixma ip4300 with disk printing now for sale. The quality is far and away better than anything I had seen from my epson R300 and for less money ..... 149.00 cnd.
@JVC One of the reasons you run of of yellow so fast it's used to make a lot of oloprs other than Blue and red. All the greens and orage hues plus the yellow it self. JM2C
Yeah, I know. But thanks! ) Most people run out of black first, because that's their only printer, and it's used for everything, including pages of just type. I have an HP all in one (printer, scanner, copier), that I will use, if I need to print out a page of type. The HP is used mainly for scanning. My Epson is used only for dvd covers, and dvd labels, and an occasional photo. I need to see a label and cover, printed out on that Canon. I can't picture anything printing any better than the Epson "R" series printers...... Need to see it with my own eyes. )
Question, Can you just replace one cartidge thats empty or do you have to replace all of them when one goes out? I saw an R760 (or something like that) at Best Buy awhile back that not only prints on CD's but with flatbed copy & scan too. I forget what the price was....
Can replace each cartridge as it runs out. I use about 1 1/2 black to the rest of the carts.Just got my 2 claim tickets from Epson for $45.00 each so I guess I'll get a R260 this week.I gave up on that law suit thinking I'd never see that money. Merry Christmas All Chris
Hello everybody ! MERRY CHRISTMAS Has anybody found Genric ink for the R260 ? The prices at BestBuy are outrages 16.00 to 18.00bucks ea...I checked http//private.abacus24-7.com but no listing. I'm wanting to buy a new printer,but not this 1 if I can't find ink at a reasonable price I've got a friend in Canada,so I might check out the Canon,there ink is dirt cheap
The 260 according to my research at Epson shows it will also take the 220 340 ink or the new ink carts. I thought I'd know this week but just reread the claim notices and the claims won't be good till after the appeal time has expired, so I'll have to hold on to these codes till I can use them.According to what I read at Epson the new Cartridges are higher capacity and use a more vibrant ink. Just pull up the 260 on the online store and look at specs and see if you come up with the same thing I did. in fact I'm going back there right now to double check. chris Edit Thank you It's a good thing I went back and checked it doesn't take the same carts. Going off to check for aftermarket Carts.
Here you go Meritline are $4.00ea http://meritline.stores.yahoo.net/epson-stylus-r260-printer-inkjet-cartridges.html Chris
For those of you looking for cheap ink get a continous ink system from ebay. Look for the ones that fill from the top. I have one for my r200 and I absolutely love it. You can also buy the bulk ink from print-on-a-dime and print-on-a-dime-2. They are pretty cheap. Tracy
$28 for 2 sets,free shipping: http://supermediastore.com/epson-r200-r300-r320-ink-inkjet-cartridge-combo-comp-12pk.html I'm holding out for another 36 carts for $36 deal like they had last month.
saugmon- yeah that would be "SWEET as Cartman would say !!!!!" - for those looking for the continuous ink system - Ezinkjets.com has them & I think one of the online retailers have them too possibly cheaper ! Maybe Meritline.com not sure on that point ? I think the continous ink system works out to equal to about 8 cartridge changes - in other words you'd change out cartridges 8 times before you'd have to reload the continous system once ! But with the deal saugmon mentioned 36 cartridges for $36.00 it's probably cheaper given that sale price than to go the continuos route !Though if your really doing alot of volume the continous system may be a better solution long term ! HappY New years !!!!)******(((___((**&*&)
PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT OR ALMOST IDENTICAL IF YOU USE ORIGINAL INK AND A PRINTABLE DISC WITH THE SMOOTH SURFACE ( NOT MATTE ). BEEN USING EPSON FOR YEARS. AFFORDABLE,DISPOSABLE AND GETS THE JOB DONE. IF YOU ARE NOT SO MUCH TO WORRIED ABOUT IDENTICLE PICTURE QUALITY I RECOMMEND GETTING AFTER MARKET INK FROM SUPERMEDIASTORE OR MERITLINE. MUCH CHEAPER OVER TIME. ALSO RECOMMEND PIONEER BURNERS AND PRODISC MEDIA. BUT YOU CAN FIND OTHER MEDIA WITH A SMOOTHER SURFACE. I JUST USE PRODISC FOR RELIABILITY. STEPS TO BUYING THIS PRINTER. 1.BUY THE AFTERMARKET INK 2. PURCHASE PRINTER WITH WARRANTY ( $20 - $30 EXTRA )FROM THE BIG GUYS,STAPLES, CIRCUIT CIYT, BEST BUY 3. USE ORIGINAL INK FIRST BUT DON'T THROW AWAY THE EMPTY INK CARTRIDGE, SAVE IT FOR WHEN THE PRINTER STARTS ACTING UP, TRUST ME IT WILL IF YOU USE THE CD PRINTER PART CONSTANTLY LIKE I DO. 4. WHEN IT ACTS UP PUT BACK IN ORIGINAL CARTRIDGES, TAKE BACK GET NEW ONE. BAM - GOT YOUR MONEYS WORTH AND HOPEFULLY A NEW PRINTER. THESE COMPANIES DON'T MAKE MONEY OFF THE PRINTER. IT'S THE INK THAT WILL KILL YOU. UNLESS YOUR DOING PHOTOS, TRY TO BUY AFTERMARKET AN INK THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
BXONE...Save your money get a R200 unless U need the card reader..The lcd read screen is not really nec..R200 are about 1/2 the price..The Printed DVD QUALITY is REALLY quite GOOD
As an owner of both a 340 & 220 agree with rick5446 save your money and buy the 220 theres no difference in quality in my own opinion and the saved money will buy you a couple of rounds of replacement cartridges. Chris
