How do I load these into the printer? Do I leave the white strip on? Never printed a transparency before.

Yes, leave white strip on (aligns transparency). There is a smooth side and a coarse side - print on coarse side.

Leave the white strip on, it helps it feed on my old HP printer. Make sure it prints on the rough side. The ink won't stick to the smooth side.

It doesn't matter. The thing that matters is to determine which side of the transparency your printer will accept the print on and then use the white strip as a guide to get it right each time.

I leave the strip on because when I took it off my printer did not recognize the transperancy. You want to print on the textured side, so on my printer I load it with the texture side down. I'm not sure how your printer works but I load my transperancies one at a time.

Leave on the white strip as this allows for easy handling. There is a method to the madness, set the paper so that the printing is done on the rough side of the paper otherwise the prints never dry and smudge badly.

I leave the white strip on so the printer can pull it in. I also make sure the ink is going to print on the rough feeling side of the paper or it will smear.

Try putting five sheets of regular paper in the bottom of the feed tray before loading the transparency paper. Also, I add the transparency paper one by one to make sure the sheets don't stick. Works for me.

I used to have the same problem with them, sometimes my printer says "can't recognize this or that color". What I do, is I make sure that my cartridges are full, and I take them out one by one from the printer and shake them up. For some reason, after I shake them, the printer recognize them. It's might be a "texture" problem with the ink, I think they not thick enough like the original Epson ink, so you have to shake them up constantly. I also want to note, that the first prints are going to be messy, you have to print out at least 5 copies before you get a perfect one.

I have never had that problem. What printer setting are you using? I believe just the normal print setting is suggested; that's what I use.

Its best to carefully cut them out. Or make a dark background because the wntire paper would be transfered and a white square will appear on it. So cut the white out.

Separate chambers. I took off the paper label on the cartridge so I could see the fill holes. Then I stuck a thin straw into a hole to see what color it had, and filled that hole with the proper color. I have been doing this a long time and it works great. I have better luck if I let the cartridge sit for a few hours after it is filled and then print a couple of test runs.

I experienced the same problem and cannot print quality pictures, as a result. I am still trying to figure the problem out. I would suggest contacting the makers of the item for assistance. If you find out before I do please let me know. Thank you!

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

I just slid them in mine and it worked. Make sure they are in correctly and firmly snap them in. Try rebooting computer and printer also. Make sure you have the latest printer drivers also.

Based on my experience, I would suggest throwing these away and get some other cartridges with better reviews. It's probably only a matter of time before the color cartridges start clogging your print nozzles. In my case it took new cartridges and several head cleanings to restore the printer.

couple things i would check. first is there ink or such on the pins that read the cartridges, clean with q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. Much worse case, is there a crack on the carriage the printhead sits in or a loose cable to the carriage? or perhaps easiest of all. your cartridges pushed down until they clicked into place?

You're not particularly clear on exactly what isn't working. For example, does the button not respond or does the page come through without anything on it? A good debugging step would be to see if it prints in black/white and gray scale. Then you would know it isn't in the cartridges. Another potentially stupid suggestion...have you tried googling the specific problem to see if others have already solved it?

Do you mean you can not see the ink levels for Black and Magenta in the control panel. If so something may be wrong with the printer. If you mean they are not just printing properly the problem is probably these cartridges. Throw them away, install something with better ratings and run head cleaning several times till the printouts are good.

I went thru the same thing. Contacted the seller and they sent me new ones and I had the same problem. I'm not happy with the cartridges OR my printer. Wish I could give you more help.

Are the toner cartridges loaded already? I don't see them separate in the box that the printer is packed in nor is there any information with the printer about the toner cartridges.

You may be printing in graycale mode (Under quick set up Tab, and Main Tab). There is also a sepia setting under Effects Tab. Unclick all these settings. Ask yourself, why aren't all these settings on one Tab?
