1260777 2012-02-23 00:44:00 I am going to buy another printer. When my HP printer starts up it appears to cycle through the Cartridges and I presume it uses ink. Do all printers do the same thing?. I have always had HP Printers but am thinking I might look at an Epson?. Anyone got any recommendations?. Pato (2463)
1260778 2012-02-23 01:22:00 My canon does that too but not always gary67 (56)
1260779 2012-02-23 01:29:00 I dont think it uses a lot of ink, my one does the same HP multifunction PeterQ (16315)
1260780 2012-02-23 02:21:00 My canon does that too but not alwaysThanks. That confirms that is not confined to the HP. Pato (2463)

1260782 2012-02-23 03:28:00 Ink is used during the head cleaning process, it is just part of how inkjet printers work. If you don't like it, buy a laser printer, and pay a heck of a lot more for cartridges. Agent_24 (57)

1260784 2012-02-23 04:08:00 Thought if you regularly print something or even print a small pic, your printer will not need to go through a cleaning cycle

Remember reading this years ago in a Epson Forum

Oh, from your first post it sounded like you wanted to buy another printer that didn't do that.

1260786 2012-02-23 04:46:00 I went off HP after the model I had counted all cartridges as empty by counting the number of pages of black used. And the subsequent court case over it in the US>

My Epson most certainly does not,m cartridges run out as used, not all at once.
