Title: Epson 4880 issue/question
Post by: Murph on August 30, 2009, 03:40:57 pm

My ink maintence tank shows 78%, I have just gotten the printer and run less than 30 photos through it, is it already 78% FULL or is that the remaining amount to fill in the tank?

the displayed amount (78%) is the remaining capacity.  Start up of a new printer always uses a 'lot' of capacity of the maintenance tank, but once set up, the tank fills slowly.  good luck with the 4880 - it's a fine printer.
