Why printing may stay for longer

Printing which is the process of for reproducing text and images, typically with ink on paper using some sort of a device known as the printer seems to be getting popular day by day. The use of this process is popular with almost every individual/organization from across the earth’s surface. Talk of giant companies like Safaricom, Google, Kenya Airways among others, both small and medium, few dollars to multi-billion dollars are not left behind. This is because for over hundred years, various forms of printing have been used as a means of labeling, identification (branding) and beautification.

Logos, messages, instructions, pictures, letter heads, post cards, business cards among others which can be printed on virtually any surface from plastic, leather and glass to stainless steel as a way to enhance visual appeal and command a unique brand. This makes printing very relevant for both businesses and individual use.

It is however surprising that printing is gaining popularity amidst heightened campaigns for green technology. Well, quite ironical! I must say. The history of printing technology dates back to 3000BC. Which was in the early advent of civilization in Mesopotamia. During these period, people would use round cylinder seals to roll an impress onto clay tablets. It sounds a great achievement to the evolution of printing technology in this era where simple type writer, dot matrix printer would be regarded as an obsolete. It is a great milestone having turned from simple wood/clay/block printing to a cartridge technology that employs CIS(Continuous Ink Supply) system.

With such a level of technology evolution, it is a glaring fact that the demand for printing services is here to stay! We may talk of the need of green technology but this might be a far-fetched dream. This is because, despite having softcopies of our data, the hardcopy is always a surety i.e it serves as a security. Generally, most individuals prefer to back up data in soft-copies and retain the hardcopy. Incase of data loss, it is still retrievable.

For companies, businesses/organizations, it is a common scenario having professionally designed logos, letterheads, business cards, post cards, bronchures, flyers, banners and so forth, making this demand quite overwhelming.

Are you a business or organization? Do you have interest in any or all of our services? Do you want to increase your brand image to clients? Talk of self-promotion, individual identification; Visionary Technologies have services just tailored for you.

Epson's "Waste Ink Pad Error " Solved






So after years of struggling with HP cartridge printer we finally settled for Epson SX135 hoping it was going to save me the headache of buying cartridges or refilling them. On the surface, Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) technology was the better choice solution.

But the underlying problem that was common with almost all it's series was the WIC(Waste Ink-pad Counter )error. Actually this is a situation when the printer has reached a condition where the waste ink pad are full. Epson Printers track on how much ink it has dumped absorbent pads in the printer's base. Thus, it shows a error prompt message to user "Parts Inside your Printer Has Reached The End Of Its Service Life "or "waste ink pad is full" once full....I won't go into details on this lets I digress from the main topic which is giving a solution .

Barely 4 months later, after having enjoyed its services, it developed a problem a kill-switch that almost rendered us to halt. It couldn't print, scan nor photocopy. All it displayed was a sort of a green and red light, which after referring to the user manual, meant it had a problem with the waste ink pad ugh!

We opened it up and located the waste ink pad, squeezed it and ran cold clean water through it, placed it back hoping that was an easy fix! That disturbing error indicator was still showing.grr!

We didn't give up,and decided to find out online. And it was clear that Epson being a big company with its products being up taken all across the world, it was engaging in unfair games, unhealthy marketing strategies. Some users with the same problem claimed that they would add extra encryption to "encourage" you to buy a new
printer. This was a clear rip off. On their forums they suggested to users facing the same predicament to take back their printers for replacement incase they still had genuine warranties. But still there was a lot of dangers and misgivings in this; paying the shipping/ transporting fees with no surety of a refund!

We were never going to give up but now it was all clear that this issue needed a software reset not the hardware reset as we had at first anticipated.

My friend and I went through several suggested solutions but non seemed to work. We tried from SSC utility tool plus many other utilities but either they would require a purchase of a full version which we eschewed due to scepticism while some failed totally.

We looked out for more from across the suggested work-arounds and finally had to come across this utility that would fix the WIC errors for both Epson SX135 and TX 125.

Disclaimer
NOTE : OUR WEBSITE IS NOT INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOFTWARE. THIS UTILITY TOOL IS FREE AND CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR FREE BUT TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE DEVELOPER, KINDLY MAIL US YOUR REQUEST AND WE WILL MAIL YOU THE DOWNLOAD LINK.
