Every time you turn launches the 4950 a longer cleaning procedure, for which it would be worthwhile to restart smoking. Because until he finally prints, it takes a cigarette length. Even shortly after printing and in between there are always these cleaning seizures. In humans, one would speak of "washing compulsion".
Now yes to cleaning always first to say anything. But here with every cleaning precious ink is destroyed. If so a cartridge is then signaled in a relatively short time as empty, about 30% are from the ink really landed on the printing paper, the "rest" about 70% are disposed of after cleaning feed and printhead flush in the integrated ink tank.
The function automatically turning the printer should definitely be disabled. Thus, the printer permanently stays on to prevent a cleaning process empty cartridges at each Neueinschalten. The power consumption of the printer can be neglected compared to the cleaning of ink.
Unfortunately, the printer selection is not as great, if sometimes media (CD / DVD) to be printed. Competitors Epson is no alternative. (Maybe runs since a cleaning competition ...) By the way, when moving from paper to CD printing: Right! Cleaning.
Conclusion: Anyone interested in a demonstration model for pumping and cleaning technology, is on this device have his joy. For a device that primarily cleanses the way enough so-called low-cost ink. The power also heard quite acceptable prints.
