Can you switch the cartridges in and out, or do you have to finish each roll before changing?

No problem changing cartridges at any time. In fact I have not had any issues or problems with this unit at all.

You can switch them in and out without having to finish a roll. I used several different sizes for mine!

Sorry, I have not had an issue changing toner cartridges, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Did you pull all of the protective plastic tabs off of the cartridges? Try tipping the cartridge back and forth a few times to loosen the toner. One time my printer kept saying the paper was out when it wasn't. I turned off both the printer and the computer and rebooted them. That seemed to fix my problem. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Insert each cartridge slanted towards the front and press there before rocking it down pressing in the back. I used to have the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter what order you put them in, ex. you can replace any of them without removing any.

You weren't specific as to switching between colors while writing or in replacing the ink cartridges, so: Switching colors while writing is easily done by holding the pen horizontally and then rolling it to one of 4 positions. The barrel of the pen itself has the colors, as well as the stylus point marked at the top just below the standard-style push button. You release each cartridge back inside by pushing a small button on the side of the upper barrel; then you can select another ink cartridge or the stylus. Explaining it takes much longer than to simply do it, but it works very well and the Fisher pen I have found has the most well-made cartridge action mechanism of all of the "quad" style pens, and I have used many different quad pens over time, looking for one that was well made and would last. The Fisher pen has and continues to operate like-new after using it daily for about 2 years. Switching the cartridges when they run dry is very easy, simply open the pen by unscrewing the barrel halves and grasp the cartridge you need to replace and pull firmly until it slides out of the holding tube that remains in the top barrel half. The Fisher cartridges are the best and last the longest, but in a pinch you can use any replacement cartridge designed for use in a "quad" style pen. Hope this answered your question.

The best way I have done this is keep an empty cartridge in the color slot and a full black in the black slot.. Since it wont work with an empty slot. Black on Black may cause problems.

Yes ! You can change which ever cartridge is out, it's alway best to do a alignment after replacement of any Color ink, printing is much better .

It really does not matter..once my ink finishes, i put another. U don't have to change all same time. Any one that is empty, flashes so change only that one. Thanks

Both are true. I did not know at the time of my post that any different action was required, but one black cartridge has malfunctioned by leaving partially unprinted streaks in the lines of print. I removed it, wiped an accumulation of ink off it, reinstalled it and got some good printing, maybe 15 or 20 pages before it did the same again. I disposed of it so I would not have that frustration again. Jon

My husband changes the ink cartridges. I will tell him about the proper way to change each on to avoid any problems. He got a spot of ink on his work jeans and it is there for eternity. When all else fails, read the instructions!.

You can choose between the black photo cartridge and the graphics cartridge in "Color Options" under "Color Mode" by changing between "Photo" and "Graphics". I do this because the Graphics black is cheaper to replace.

I honestly don't know, but I have stored them for months before using them and have been able to switch them in mid-print without being able to see where the new cartridge was installed. I suspect you can store them a long time, but I would check the tech info on the Epson website for their recommendations.

If you mean to change the printer so that the out of ink warning is ignored, the answer is yes, I did that. My complaint was not an out of ink warning but that the cartridge printed uneven, blurred and sporadic lines. The print outs were totally unusable. The cartridge was faulty.

Yes. For that matter it is default configuration. Converter would be necessary in order to use small cartridges, two at the time. I'm using Air Venturi 90g.

I purchased this printer in February of this year. I do a fair amount of printing and have yet to have the need to change the cartridge. I am very pleased with my purchase thus far. Good luck!

I hardly ever use my printer and it has not been a problem leaving in the cartridges. I think your cartridge would dry out (maybe) either way, so why take them out?

You can purchase more of the cartridges online. You simply pull off the old cartridge and put the new one on just like you did the last one. If you intend to change colors, you should clean the pen first. This can do done by running water through the pen and letting it dry. Sometimes using a syringe can really help get it clean.
