When the maintenance tank for your SP4000 reads full, you can just put a new one in. Why not reset it to get a bit more life (or to make it last until your spare maintenance tank is delivered) We've also got a PDF service manual for the 4000 with loads more useful info (be careful with any service operations) The What's New Page gives a quick overview of the hundreds of pages of articles and picture on this site. Latest articles on our site: >> Spyder3 Print V3.5 review The latest ICC printer profiling system from Datacolor (aka ColorVision) is reviewed. Featuring faster operation and a wide range of profile generation options, it can be used for building printer profiles for colour and (with additional measurements) Black and White printing. For more experienced users it offers multiple version profile building (from the same set of measurements) and profile editing. |
