Curly haired women are consistently told that straightening for work is a good move. In some professions, curly hair is even seen as unkempt and unprofessional. Fortunately, instead of straightening you can stay true to your natural ways by wearing any of these top 10 curly professional hairstyles. You never know, you may incite a workplace-wide natural transitioning movement! Do you have a professional hairstyle that's tried and true? Let us know in the comments!
Curly Bob
A curly bob is a great way to show off your curls while also giving them a more professional and controlled look. Because maintaining a bob cut will require more frequent visits to your stylist, your hair will be healthier and show it. Tighter, shinier curls will prove your boss's image of ratty, tangled, damaged curly hair to be just down right wrong!
Curly bobs are not for everyone, though. Square, oval and long face shapes are well suited for the shorter cuts, while heart and round shaped faces will not be flattered.
Also, pay attention to your hair type. Short cuts will increase your curl. If this is something you want to avoid, a bob is not for you.
As with all hairstyles, finding great products to help keep shape and promote definition is ideal. Try products designed specifically for short cuts, especially products designed specifically for both shorter cuts and curly hair.
Half Up, Half Down
While not a style all hair lengths and textures can pull off, it is definitely one to keep in your repertoire. Even those with shorter cuts and tighter curls can benefit from letting a few pieces hang down to frame the face.
No matter how much curly hair you decide to put in the up 'do and how much you leave down, remember to style wisely. Half up, half down professional hairstyles are not your average 8th grade throwback.
Strands left down should frame the face and be frizz free. Pieces that are pulled up should lie as flat as possible to give the look of a sleek, well-maintained upper layer. This layer should not be greasy.
The overall style doesn't need to look like a quick fix to an alarm mishap. Spend some time perfecting the style before you make it a professional look.
Braids are always a great way to dress up any look and keep curly locks in their place and out of your face. For women with longer hair, a side braid is both stylish as well as easy-going and makes for a good work look. This look will work best if you also have long layers, as the front, loose strands are key to creating casual, but professional hairstyles.
When braiding, start close to the nape of your neck, keeping the braid loose, but tight enough to contain the curl.
Women with tighter curls and shorter cuts can opt for creating smaller, tighter and close to the scalp braids. These type of braids, also known as cornrows, are extremely versatile and can last for an extended period of time, helping to quicken your morning routine.
Be sure that if you opt for cornrows, you stick with common styles and patterns. While new and different patterns can be exciting and even creative, in the workplace, you want to make sure that your coworkers see you rather than your hair. Remember, because cornrows last longer than a side braid, you want to make sure that the look is versatile enough for both work and play.
For both styles, a styling cream such as As I Am Smoothing Gel will help to whisk back fly-aways within the braid(s) and give hair a fresh and professional look.
High Ponytail/Bun
More and more women, and designers, are opting for high ponytails and buns. These trendy professional hairstyles are easy to recreate and perfect for those days when you sleep through the alarm.
For women with longer, looser waves, a high ponytail is best. To achieve an optimal look, pull hair up and away from the face, placing the ponytail at the top ridge of your head. The ponytail should be resting on a short, flat area, right above the rounding of your skull.
To turn day-old locks in to fresh, sweeping curls, pull out a curling iron. Be sure that the iron is on the lowest heat setting to avoid any heat damage and then curl the entire ponytail. Hairspray will keep the look in place. Finish everything off with a shining product like Carol's Daughter Macadamia Weightless Shine Mist to give a glowing look.
For women with shorter styles and tighter curls, use a silk headband or scarf to gather curls on tops of your head, or where the curls naturally fall. You can either use the headband or scarf as a hair tie, creating a traditional bun, or simply let hair rest behind the scarf or headband, creating a bun look.
Bobby pins will help to keep the scarf in place, if you so choose. Finish your curls with a pomade such as Curlisto Finishing Pomade to hold definition and create shine throughout the day.
All Down
Okay, it's true, we admit it: curly hair left to its own devices can sometimes go a little haywire, but that doesn't mean you can't flaunt your natural ways.
While hair gel and mousse can help to promote volume and body, pomade will create definition and strike down all frizz. Using your finger, twist curls individually, coating each with a dab of pomade from root to tip. The process may seem rigorous, but hey, at least you don't have to straighten!
Finish your mane off with a finishing shine spray followed by hairspray to hold the curls in place. If necessary, throw some bobby pins in that purse of yours in case a quick pullback is needed later in the day.
Remember to keep your hands off! Excessive manipulation of curly locks during the day can transfer oils that break down curl pattern and create frizz.
Using strong hold pomade will make sure your mind never needs to wander back to your hair. Try something like Wen Sweet Almond Texture Balm.
Hair Accessories
You name it and curly hair looks good in it. Now, while certain workplace protocols might restrict some hair accessories such as hats, other accessories such as headbands, decorative bobby pins and even fun hair ties can dress up most professional hairstyles in a matter of minutes.
Drugstores offer an array of styles for these products, but spending a little extra for nicer, more professional looking products is a good idea. Try scoping out your favorite stores for small accessories and remember, all scarves can be turned in to a hair piece..
Beware, though, of trying to tie in recent trends. Your headband shouldn't have a huge feather on it, but it is okay to get a little creative as long as it isn't distracting.
MORE: Lust List: Hair Accessories
While just a couple years ago straighties mastered the front strand braid, curlies have been using twists since, nearly, the beginning of time.
Twists are easy and quick, get hair out of your face, and provide a polished look.
Twists can be on a single side, or on both. To accomplish the look, grab the section of hair you want pulled back, and twist. Be sure to hold the twist tightly throughout the twisting process as the style a tendency to loosen up near the end.
Secure the twist with crossing bobbing pins or invisible hair ties. The end of the twist should disappear in to the rest of your hair.
To combat fly-aways, use a combination of pomade or Shea butter and hairspray.
Curly bangs can be a challenge, but if worn correctly, can make for nice "grown-up," professional hairstyles.
Be sure, always, that the bangs never cover your eyes. Especially in a work environment, you don't want your hair to be a distraction to either you or others.
When going for the cut, be sure that your stylist makes the chop on dry hair. Cutting curly bangs wet will create shorter than wanted locks.
Once the cut is in place, use pomade or Shea butter to definite each curl. Curly bangs should never be frizzy.
Go ahead and use a curling iron or rollers to set the look before you add products.
Women whose hair naturally creates an afro-like effect are well suited for curly bangs. Parts can create a confusing curly look and seemingly chop the hair up in sections.
Those with looser curls and prominent parts can opt for an up 'do, letting their bangs frame their face.
French Twist
Straight-stranded gals have been using this trick for centuries and there is no reason curlies can't take a page from their book. French twists create classic and iconic professional hairstyles that gives off a polished and professional look.
In addition, a French twist can be worn tightly or more loosely, allowing strands of curls to frame the face and reducing scalp stress.
To create a French twist, follow the instructions below.
- Put your hair in a ponytail, fixing it on your head with a hair tie.
- Make a firm twist, like you would to create a single twist, and continuing twisting all the way to your ends.
- Lay the twist straight up the back of your head. Continue twisting if needed. Begin pinning hair starting from the bottom and hiding pins inward where you cannot see them.
- Give the middle roll a pinch to open up just enough to place your ends inside.
- Take hair pins or a hair comb and slide in the upper section, grabbing just a bit of hair in the twist and sliding it in and under, into the roll. Do the same for the lower section.To keep the up 'do in place, apply hairspray where needed.
Now, don't start getting any dirty ideas! A pin-up hairstyle works great for all lengths and textures of curly hair and it gets hair out of your face, off your neck and, best of all, gives extra volume and curl.
First, pin up the top half of your hair to get it out of the way. Then, get creative with the bottom half. Using bobby pins, twist curls up and secure.
Once you are finished with the bottom half, move to the top and begin again.
Once all pieces are firmly secured on your head, apply hairspray. If needed, use a curling iron to curl ends that are sticking out.
When your 'do looks as though you just received a perm and a pixie cut, you'll know you have it right.

"Not that I even believe in those thickness ratings anyway.
Steel is steel. If you need more weld you run more passes.
The only rating that matters is amperage and duty cycle.
Thickness is irrelevant."
Spoken like a true idiot! Be sure to let all the pro welders know that they didn't need to spend 10-20K n their machines to build all those bridges/pipelines/skyscrapers/etc, a little MM211 would work just fine, just run more passes.

My vote is a engine drive rental you can rent a diesel drive machine for $250 a week I would get everything layed out and ready rent it burn it together and take it back. Even at a month for $650 you are still ahead of the game. If your biggest project is going tobe this you can still have get the rental and then buy your self a small mig welder. I would must rather be draging leads around then carrying a 60 pound mig welder with a small duty cycle.Lincoln Vantage Kubota diesel 30 amp spool gun , Hobart 210 with spool gun, Thermal dynamic pak master 75, miller 304xmt all mobile all ready to go.
(1) Yeah, I vote for plenty of amps/power. It is MUCH better to have more than you need than to try to "make do" with less and all the while you are wishing you had more! This also takes me down the road to renting the right tool for the job rather than buying......I think this kind of thing may fall under that ole rule about "If it floats, flies or f* (well, you get it), it is much better to RENT it than to buy it." (previous line edited to keep this clean enough for a nice, calm, quiet family rating)
(2) I agree......the OP says nothing about his skill level as a welder. FIRST, I'd be D*AMNED SURE that my skills were up to the task as the proof might just be when the building falls down around your ears the first time the wind blows hard. I'd sure hate to see something I had built heading back to KANSAS in the wind, Toto!
(3) I, also, wonder about that quote for labor. There has GOT TO BE more to the job than the OP lets on. Maybe the guy that pointed out that the OP only wanted to know how much ooomph he'd need for the heavier parts of the task is right, but it is hard to give advice when you don't have a complete grasp of the question/job!Don J

Sudden job loss can leave you reeling. You're overwhelmed, wondering, "What do I do? What about my family?"
See also: 5 great part-time jobs.
This is a devastating reality for many workers particularly in uncertain economic times, especially older employees who currently average 54.2 weeks of unemployment before finding another job.
Everyone's circumstances are different. If you've been a long-standing employee earning a progressive salary and benefits, you may be eligible for a severance package, health insurance under COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) if your former employer offers it and you can afford it, and unemployment insurance (These days, you can file online and avoid waiting and longelines). Together, these might give you the time and financial resources to stay on top of your bills until you land your next job.
If you've established an emergency fund covering at least six months of regular expenses, you may feel less anxious if you become unemployed. But for most, panic, understandably, is the obvious response to job loss.
A recent study, "Temporary Derailment or the End of the Line? Managers Coping With Unemployment at 50," looked at coping strategies of people whose identities were wrapped up in position, status and achievements, and who were laid off late in their careers.

Heres a job I just got done for my brother in law. Everything was made using 1/4" and 3/16" plate. Hand cut all pieces with my Hobart plasma cutter and welded using my old MM200. Got to do a little tigging as well on the light bar mounts on the windshield. Think it all turned out good he was very pleased. Made the rock sliders as well.

Nice light bar. The picture of the welder looks extremely familiar. Are you in AZ? Or have you posted it here before? I swear I saw that same welder/gas combo on CL fairly locally a while back.

dark / theme
Dark belongs to night and all that night represents in the human or the monstrous mind: a different world than day's brings out emotions, creatures, images that do not belong to the knowable, orderly, quotidian realm. Dark invokes certain angles of light and shades of color. It is both an organic and a technological mode. It is not, and sometimes naught.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Keeping the Legislature at BayStopping the Big Bad Wolf Bills and More
May 5, 2014Dear Conservation Friends,
Today, Sierra Club released its 2014 Environmental Report Card for the Arizona Legislature and Governor. Despite starting off as one of the worst sessions for weakening environmental protections, the 2014 legislative session ended up being a bit better than expected – three terrible bills were vetoed, two were defeated in the Senate, and numerous bills died because they did not advance to a full vote in one house or the other. Several bills were amended to at least address some of Sierra Club's concerns.Governor Brewer had her best year yet on Sierra Club's report card, earning a "C+," as she vetoed two anti-wolf bills and a bill that would have harmed wilderness areas, plus she signed into law a small funding measure for State Parks. "It is appalling that Arizona legislators continue to try to harm wildlife by limiting the recovery of endangered wolves and weakening habitat protections, plus show no respect for federal public lands or federal environmental laws," said Sandy Bahr, chapter director of Sierra Club's Grand Canyon Chapter. "This year, however, the Legislature's attempts to limit recovery of Mexican gray wolves were thwarted when Governor Brewer vetoed both SB1211 and HB2699, as was an attempt to bulldoze wilderness areas contained in HB2541, another bill she vetoed."Senators defeated HB2700 federal acquisition; state lands; monitoring (Thorpe), an attempted federal public land grab by legislators. It would have required the State Land Department to identify which state trust lands have been transferred to the federal government since statehood and then would have required compensation from the federal government, even though most of these areas were acquired via land exchanges. It also directed the Legislature and Attorney General to take all steps to recover and acquire these state lands.
Legislators did not pass any of the attacks on clean energy but also did nothing to help promote energy efficiency or roof-top solar."Arizona legislators should be supporting and promoting solar energy and energy efficiency programs," said Bahr. "Instead, our legislature continues to promote energy sources such as coal that pollute our air and water and contribute to climate change, while our state has more than 300 days of sunshine. Each session, legislators generate attacks on energy efficiency, even though it is the cleanest and cheapest energy resource. It is past time for those attacks to stop and for efforts to support clean energy to advance."Surprisingly enough, legislators did not re-enact the voter suppression and anti-citizen initiative provisions in HB2305, a measure the Legislature passed in the 2013 session. Because of the anti-democracy provisions in HB2305, a broad coalition of interests organized a referendum on the bill. Voters signed petitions to stop HB2305 and refer it to the ballot. Rather than see HB2305 on the ballot as a referendum, legislators repealed it early in the 2014 session.The Legislature did undermine enforcement of election laws by limiting the Clean Elections Commission's ability to enforce non-Clean-Elections violations. It remains to be seen if this bill, SB1344 contribution limits; clean elections authority (Pierce: Biggs), will withstand a legal challenge, however.
This year, all 36 Republican House members received failing grades, as did 13 senators, meaning they voted correctly on two or fewer bills. On a positive note, six representatives earned an "A+," which means they voted 100 percent pro-environment and also did not miss a vote on the key bills Sierra Club scored. Ten senators and 13 House members also received an "A." Senators were graded using 12 bills, and House members were graded using 11 bills. Governor Jan Brewer was graded on eight bills. Everyone was graded on a curve. The bills focused on Mexican gray wolves, public lands, land use, importation of waste, elections, and citizen initiatives, among other issues. Sierra Club is one of the country's oldest grassroots environmental organization with more than 35,000 members and supporters in Arizona as part of the Grand Canyon Chapter. At the end of each legislative session, the Grand Canyon Chapter develops its report card in order to inform Arizonans about their legislators' voting records on key environmental issues.The Sierra Club report card is available at 2014 Environmental Report Card for Arizona Legislature and Governor.

I currently am working with a trailer that I have most of my equipment on.
Everytime I go to a job, I have to hook up the trailer.
I am considering a dedicated truck, thinking of a van. I have a gas drive, mig, plasma and torches, along with everything else.
My son thinks we need a utility truck, i think a van would be more pratical, other than needing to get in to start/adjust the machines.
Most of our work is trash trucks/dumpsters and general maintenance. WE do not do construction or that type of work.
What are the benifits or challenges of my thoughts?

A van is easier to lock down and rain tight, I like a truck to work from better although a van could be rigged. I went from truck to trailer and back to trucks but am back to the point I could use a trailer again as that work dropped off. If I was regular it would be truck, the hook, unhook gets old fast.

Running a gasoline engine inside a van (or a box van body) can be dangerous.
Exhaust gases build up deadly levels of CO in a matter of minutes. To say nothing that these same gases would be sucked into the intake of the engine, causing even poorer performance.
Listed under the products tab, "engine drives," Miller has a tutorial regarding the proper mounting proceedures for their engine driven welders."Bonne journe'e mes amis"

Its all up to you to pick (What ever fits your needs)
Ive been running a weld rig for the best part of 30 yrs.Theres pro and cons in both truck vs trailor.Ive done both.(Now using trailor)Ive had both utility trucks and box trucks.The Box was better.(If U used a Truck platform)I had a used snap-on truck that I stripped the shelves out,put a bulk head in behind the seat.I had everthing you can think of in this truck.Now since the economy isnt the best I decided to down size to an inclosed trailor.The bennies to me is my welder and all equipment is secure and out of the elements.I pull it with a dually truck,that leaves the truck open for other things then just a welding rig truck.
Just another idea.
Happy Holidays.

Adrian Sutil is confident he will be permitted to travel the globe despite his conviction of grievous bodily harm...
Adrian Sutil is confident he will be permitted to travel the globe despite his conviction of grievous bodily harm.
In January 2012, the German driver was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm in an incident involving Lotus co-owner Eric Lux. He was handed a fine and a suspended jail term.
Sutil also lost his job as a Force India driver in the months leading up to the trial.
But despite parting ways with the team, the 30-year-old returned to the fold last week when he tested at the Circuit de Catalunya in a bid to secure the team's second drive.
Force India are expected to make a decision between Sutil and Jules Bianchi in the coming days with the German confident his conviction won't prevent him from doing the job.
"It's all good," he told ESPN. "I tried to get everything done already and last year I informed myself so it's definitely not a problem.
"It's all sorted so it's really about their [Force India's] decision.
"I think they've seen I'm able to drive the car still, so maybe we'll have a decision and we'll go from there."

Williams selects Honeywell UOP technology for PDH facility
10:17 AM MDT | March 26, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
Williams says it has chosen Honeywell's UOP C3 Oleflex process technology to produce propylene for its recently announced propane dehydrogenation (PDH) project at Alberta, Canada. The facility will convert propane recovered from oil sands off-gas into polymer-grade propylene, and the PDH facility will be the first in Canada with annual capacity of about 1 billion pounds, the company says. "Demand for propylene has continued to grow globally, but supply has not kept pace because of production shifts within the petrochemical industry," says Pete...

Thanks for the inspiring metaphor Eric.
On my 7900 I have spent 5 weeks and roughly $1800 - 4 maintenance tanks, a complete line of 375ml inks and only one commercial print to show for it. Nozzle check will not clear two guns PK and LG. I cleared the LG but the PK was stubborn. Did a power pair clean than the CYAN dropped out entirely. I am giving up. (I've tried the windex on a 5x7 ply, all kinds of prints and tests, but nothing is working.)
Called EPSON and went straight to customer relations.
"I'm out of warrantee, spent $1800 in inks, cannot clear the clog and want to know if you have a program to give me credit for another machine."
"We have never heard about nozzle clogging on the 7900."
I pointed out there is a good number of owners on the luminous-landscape blog with this issue, and am put on hold for ten minutes and sent back to technical maintenance. No one wants to solve this, and Epson seems not to have a clue. Maybe a class action litigation will wake them up.

Love the moto photos and story! I have a feeling, Eric, that there is probably one degree of separation or so between us somehow.
Back to printers, so if I take that last photo to heart, all I have to do is take a crowbar to my 7900 and I'll be all set?
Two questions and I apologize if they were answered earlier in the forum but I've read so many different things, I can't remember what references came from each site.
-If I order the pump cap and assembly and replace it myself, any updated view on a place that ships out pretty quickly? I ordered the wiper blades from Encompass but found even normal shipping a bit expensive.
-Does anyone have any experience with these guys:
I may give them a call-- not sure if I am just desperately looking for solutions that don't cost $2000 . . .
Also, Eric, BH had the 7900 listed recently below 2k? That's enticing even though after this experience I don't know if I can go Epson again . . .

Yes sfblue, right now they have a decent price listed. Sometimes they have ridiculous prices listed. It seems unpredictable at best.
Yes I have experience with americaninkjetsystems (the way my browsers break that page up on scrolling really brings back bad memories..). Also others that advertise head cleaning services. Also plenty of other options (paths, even journeys) to partake in considering printhead clog clearing (including re-fillable cleaning carts, solutions, wet paper towel techniques, all configurations of menu settings cleanings, service mode cleanings, shaking the machine, even throwing it off a cliff - which I tried once but the clogs never budged).. You will find, as did the rest of us, that none of these work. You will also find that all lines of communication go blank once you mention to these printhead cleaning websites that it's a "4900/7900/9900". I even shipped our X900 printhead to Canada where one specialist machined brackets to fit our heads to his ultrasonic cleaning machines so he could break up the clogs. Three months later our head came back as a very shiny paperweight. So far, best I know, we are on our own. But there is hope. Research is forging us ahead into a new realm of understanding. Soon enough we will have a far better grip on exactly what we are up against.
To answer your previous question, all channels are handled by the same printhead - there is just one. You fix one channel, you fix them all. Unfortunately, you break one channel, you break them all.
If you get cornered I'll change your head. Hell I came about a minute from flying to Oklahoma last week for one of our other family members. Problem was we couldn't find him a head for under two grand, so flights ended up making it not worth while. 11880s are more expensive. You challenge is your head most likely, not your pump and cap assy. Changing the pump and cap to clear a clog is like Left Eye singing about chasing waterfalls. Depending on how many prints you've run, which in your case sounds minimal, it's better to clean the pump and cap, but replace the head. My two cents anyway. The parts changing procedures are completely separate. Left side of the machine comes apart to swap the head, right side of the machine comes apart to change the pump and cap assy.
And no, your D1 serviceman will not be able to change both parts in one hour. More like three, and that's if he's on the ball.
Glad you like the story. Hesitated to tell it here.

Admittedly, I had to google "Left Eye."
Still no call from a local D1 tech, but if three hours is optimistic for the service time, then at a minimum it is $2336.00 unless it's something more minor and the print head doesn't need to be changed. I just did a cursory check and a local store has the 7900 for $2400 and said Epson deals vary month to month and next month it could be higher or lower. I guess that is what accounts for the recent BH price of below $2000.
Has anyone had experience with a Canon using the Lucia EX inks? I know it is too new for reviews on the x400 series, but the x300 reviews I've seen say that color printing is neck and neck with Epson, but I can't seem to find anything about the black and white printing which is something I care about quite a bit. The price for the new Canon 24 inch 6400 seems to be a little under $2000. It's frustrating though as I already know all of the little quirks and workflow with the Epsons.
Random questions: the windex/paper towel thing. If I release the carriage through the service manual and then try this-- it is not actually in contact with the print head, correct? It seems like it would be in contact with the back of the ?flushing box?. My printer anatomy isn't very good, but I noticed that the carriage release seems to take the flushing box with the carriage as opposed to doing the wiper assembly change procedure. I guess it is good that it isn't touching the print head, but in this case is it even doing anything at all to soften up the clog in theory? That American Inkjet thing said to put their solution on the capping station. Is it worth trying something else there on the LM channel? I only ask because the permanent clog is relatively recent so maybe there is some hope? (and has gotten worse with cleaning cycles (this is after months of daily clogs)) and . . . well, I'm clinging to hope . . . .
I started out on the very cautious side-- not wanting to try anything invasive. But I'm more willing to DIY now that the likely alternatives are either a new printer or a service call of roughly the same dollar amount.

Just got a flurry of texts from Oklahoma. Cost our brother $3,000 for the same D1 service you are considering, sfblue. Took his tech three hours. Machine is up and running fine. I should add that since he used D1 to do his head install, he now has a 90 day printhead installation related warranty, which is definitely something you don't get when you do it yourself.
Depending on how many times you fold the cloth over on itself, the wet towel will touch the head. It takes a bit of finagling but it IS possible to run your machine with the door open. Once you accomplish this completely unnecessary task, you get a better idea of what moves where during different operations. Don't do it though,
just watch this video instead
When you release the head the capping station actually draws itself back into it's cave and the flush box moves down into place along with the wiper blade. Chances are more likely you'll put the wet towel under the head somewhere on the carriage run, rather than over the flush box. That's what I did anyway. Fingers crossed it works!
and by the way, D1 takes your old head back with them - you don't own it apparently, even though you bought it. So don't sweat nicking it up. You should see the face of the head that came with the 7900 I bought used. Up close the thing looks like someone scraped it's face with 80 grit sandpaper. I doubt wet paper towels will hurt as bad the fine art paper used on my machine before I got it.

Hi, sfblue,
When you say "It's frustrating though as I already know all of the little quirks and workflow with the Epsons." perhaps many of the machine-related quirks are eliminated when using Canon, and overall fidling is greatly reduced.
It seems that the only downside that folks often mention is the very infreqent replacement of a Canon print head. It is simple to do and is designed to be done by the consumer. Just look at the print head price per print and its $400 cost will seem insignificant.

Hi Eric,
I'm getting ready to replace my print head (7900). I have a little used printer that is 2 years old with a fatal print head error after many cleaning attempts. Is there anything you recommend I should do after I remove the old print head and before I install the new one?

Hi Bob I just replied to this question in your email. Didn't see this till after. It's interesting how you now have fatal printhead error messages after so many cleanings. Were they power cleanings I assume? If so this gets way back into an exchange we had with ernst about eight months ago, about the possibilities of overheating piexoelectric nozzles by firing them repeatedly when they are all blocked up. I assume, and so do others I expect, that the ink passing through the nozzles helps cool them. So perhaps your head went dead this way - repeated firing/no ink flow/no cooling/fried head.
As far as what else to do along with your head change, there are many variables to consider. How old is the machine, how many prints on it, how long it's been since ink's been running through it, what was working/wasn't working that set you into multiple cleanings attack mode (which we've all been through so don't feel bad).
I get a lot of emails about D1 calls and experiences on X900 machines. Oddly, not everyone I know who has followed the Epson/D1 clogged printhead repair path has gotten the same, or even similar advice or estimates. This past Friday a clogged X900 estimate was shared with me and it included printhead replacement, pump and cap replacement, wiper blade replacement. Yesterday a clogged X900 estimate was shared with me and it included the print head, pump cap assembly, wiper blade, selector unit, and AID sub board. What's that like $1,800 in parts plus six hours of work at a hundred and how many dollars per hour? ...that's not very friendly

Hi Bob, please let us know how it turns out, level of difficulty, and total time. I'm in the same boat.
For those who don't know, you can order the print head directly from Epson at 562-276-1305 (there might be a better number as they will help you and transfer you to the warehouse). The print head is the only part which Epson sells directly and they charge $1299 for it (if you have D1 do the work, the parts cost is stated as $1132.
My options are:
a) have D1 do the work which according to their estimate and time involved this will likely run $2500+
b) buy a new 7900 at $2400, get a fresh start and a new warranty (and an option on the extended)
c) after four Epsons, move to Canon and get their new 6400 for slightly under $2000.
d) buy the $1300 print head, cross my fingers, and break out the swiss army knife and duct tape . . .
Clearly, D1 makes the least sense unless they can somehow solve the clog without replacing the print head. I'm leaning towards DIY option "d" or checking out the new Canons. enduser, you may be right about the Canons and if you have one, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I've had several Epsons before this and I've always had this notion that the ink wasting routines were part of the package deal for Epson's superior print quality; but by now it seems like that gap may have narrowed or disappeared and it's worth taking a look at the Canons. I've read good reviews but I can't find anything comparing black and white between the Canons and Epsons and that is what I'm looking for. I went down to the local Calumet yesterday as they used to have example prints from both printers, but they no longer do.
I spoke with an Epson dealer yesterday who said that Epson had "improved the process" and I was less likely to have the clog problem now than with one of the very early x900s. I'm not sure how that makes sense at all if they are the same printer with the same manufacturing process. And in searching for more info on the Canon printers, I keep stumbling upon more anecdotes of people with the same problem from the Epson x900s. I try to be balanced and take all of these anecdotes with a grain of salt. I realize that it is sort of like Yelp reviews of a restaurant-- the one star and the five star reviewers have incentive to post a review whereas the people who have a decent experience are not likely to take the time. Still, trying to take this into account, there sure are a lot of accounts of print heads failing, even between one and two years old, thus rendering the printer useless.

Hi Eric,
The printer has a total count of 93 prints. Of course I've done many nozzle checks as well. The clog was solid in the CY channel. When I called Epson Service I was told to keep doing cleanings. So every day I would do several nozzle checks and a single regular cleaning as well as a print of a color wheel and sometimes of my own prints as a test. It was printing fine but would indicate a cleaning was ecessary.The power cleanings were kept to a minimum and once I saw they didn't change anything and simply used up my ink, I only did normal cleanings. So I was nursing it every day while communicating with you and exploring my options. And then one day 3 months back during a normal cleaning it came up with the fatal error 1A39.
The reason I'm concerned is because it's been sitting so long (3 mths) and I'm suspicious the new head will get gummed up. I'm am good at following procedure and mechanically inclined, have tools, etc. I also have the repair guides and software. I purchased some spray on wipe type cleaning solutions from one of the ink suppliers.
I probably should wait for your video, yes?
Have you considered started a new career servicing or providing advice for the epson printer maintenance? Obviously you are providing a needed service.

FWIW, here is one of the early
Epson patents
for a piezoelectric head printer. I don't know if this is the first one or not as I'm not terribly expert in searching the US patent database. You can use the menu on the left side to look at the drawings, specifications and claims respectively. I'm sure that there are later patents as well.
I'm going through it to see if I can better understand how the printers work.

The best place to see Canon discussion is
The lessons I've learned over 5 years use of ipf6100 is not to continue printing when it says a head is going bad. Newer firmware prevents that anyway and doesn't let you "Press online to clear error". It used to burn-out pc boards. Otherwise read the blog.
Perhaps what the wiki thing doesn't make clear is that Canon has two heads with an enormous number of nozzles. The machine constantly checks to see if any block and if they do the nozzle mapping can use other nozzles to take over the job of the blocked ones. After a long time no spare nozzles exist and you are prompted to change a head. After 5 years of weekly use I'm about to change a second head.
Another neat thing it does when let go into sleep mode is to wake up every so often and agitate the inks, at another time it might do a nozzle check and light clean if needed, and it also wakes up and checks temperature and humidity. I think Canon owners are always surprised that Epson owners do a nozzle check before printing - that just isn't needed with the Canon.
There is some debate about image quality which by reading what I can find seems to go about 53 to 47 in Epson's favor.

Hi Bob, if you're not desperate to swap your head, wait. My genius and I are working on a video which will show the whole head swapping process. No special solvents necessary. Couple things you'll need, the most particular being a long handle/small tip/magnetic/philips screwdriver. Other than that a pc (not mac, sorry for me..), good lights, a flashlight, a regular sized philips (I use a screw gun, there are a good number of screws), tape (I like taping screws near where they came out of, and a couple of small boxes or trays so you can keep things organized. Sounds intimidating, don't let it be. One, step, at a time and you'll be fine.
Thank you Alan!
boy the Canon self-monitoring practices sound so sensible (and effective). Almost like there's a design & development team dedicated solely to improving the user experience "post purchase". Like Nanny always said, you've got to give credit where credit is due. That's fantastic.

Check John Dean's comment on that:
Comments are more than a year old but I think he is still happy with the Canon iPF8300. The iPF8400 did not change much compared to the iPF8300.

Ernst and enduser-- thanks for the references to info about the Canons. I have dug through the wiki and separately, Ernst-- that is a very informative note comparing the various b/w printing methods; thanks very much for digging that up. Also, I have always wondered about the Cone piezography options so it's interesting to have that comparison in there as well.
Eric, I'm still undecided, but in evaluating the options: a quick question:
-where does one find the servprog.exe file? And, is it a simple matter of finding a Windows machine and hooking it up via usb to run the utility?
Even if I decide not to go the DIY route-- I'm looking forward to seeing your video and how involved the process is.
Finally, are there any coders out there familiar with Applescripts and how hard it would be to run a test print every morning at a set time for what you guys previously called a "holiday mode" for the Epsons? It seems doable, but not sure how you get around the machine being asleep other than just setting it to be on the whole time you are gone . . . (and would it have to somehow switch PK and matte blacks periodically to make the channel not being used doesn't clog?)

Are the deadhead 7900 printers worth anything as parts? I will not fix mine, but kind of feel funny about tossing it out as trash.Is anyone buying the carcasses in order to fix and resell? I am in Iowa so I assume any shipping costs make the value pretty low.

Just got a call from Epson tech support. (I still have not gotten a call from D1 but in the intervening time I've decided it's too expensive to go with them anyway).
Anyway, from tech support:
-if you have missing portions of the lines on the test print and those missing portions move around, it tends to be worthwhile to replace the pump cap assembly first. If they don't move at all, it is usually the print head.
-The only recommended action from him was to go into maintenance mode, release the carriage assembly via the IM Sensor Gap command, and slide the carriage to the left exposing the pump cap assembly. He recommended taking a paper towel with water and moistening each of the five sponge pads there. I asked if there were other sponges, i.e. one for each ink, and there are not. Those five are it. He did not know which pad corresponds to which colors. After moistening each of the sponges, recap the print head and let it sit there for a half hour to an hour. Then run a cleaning cycle and try a test print again.
While he was not optimistic about this procedure given that my LM test print is missing the same portions of the lines consistently, he said to try it as there it couldn't hurt. Next step is to go to D1. I asked him if D1 tried to replace all other parts before the printhead and he said he thought so, but I would have to ask them and it could vary.
I asked him about other things including a "holiday mode" as even in a production environment, it's unrealistic that these printers will be used every single day for most users. He said that tech support had already made that suggestion to the powers that be, but that it's not up to their division unfortunately.
(I also suggested that given that there seems to be a nontrivial failure rate, offering something . . . anything, e.g. a discount on the print head would help engender good will among long-time Epson users.)

Hi Eric,
I've got all the tools needed as well as the patience required buddy. I will anxiously wait for the wisdom pouring forth from the genius' video
If can assist in any manner I would be more than happy too.
An additional possible hazard for DIY I fear is that Epson may modify the firmware to lock out the software version we are currently using to perform the counter resets and other functions.
SFBLUE: I agree with your contention that Epson should in fairness do something for us suffering victims..eh... customers. We bought a tool and vast quantities of expensive ink to do a job for us. It shouldn't be giving us fits and costing us a ton of extra moola on a continual basis and terror if we should leave on a trip. I am friends with a local gallery owner/pro photographer who owns an Epson 9900 that is also giving him fits. He said he can't afford to maintain the printer.
whitedogphotos: I read somewhere that the used Epson printer is not worth much for parts.

Bob, I ended up writing this person:
Rand Rozar the Director of Service and Support via the following web site form:
He had been mentioned earlier in this thread. I figured it couldn't hurt. If others feel like writing to him as well, it can't hurt for him to hear from multiple Epson users with this problem. But . . .they forward you to a customer service person who then forwards your number to tech support-- that's who called me today. They must have also gotten on the D1 person because he finally called me.
The D1 tech said he would change the pump cap assembly first, because if it's weak it might not be sucking the ink clog from the head. I told him that Epson tech support had told me that if the dropped nozzle positions on the test print don't move, it's likely to be the head and not the pump cap assembly. He quickly agreed and said we could just change the print head. (I wonder what happens if you don't have a little info-- if they just go through and change everything randomly?)).
Anyway, the best the Epson customer service person said was that maybe they could "help with some ink." I don't know what that means and she was noncommittal about it. Both the customer service person and the tech asked if I printed every single day and said these are production printers and meant to be printing every single day.
Whitedog-- I agree. Environmentally, it feels bad to throw away a machine with one clogged ink channel just because the cost to fix it could be greater than the cost of a new printer.

Livestock: Background
The livestock industry, largely composed of individual ranchers and the organizations that represent them, has faced a number of challenges in recent years. Often struggling to compete on the global market, this industry has increased its federal lobbying efforts.
Frequently clashing with the environmental organizations, livestock interest groups battle for exceptions to Environmental Protection Agency air pollution regulation and other legislative initiatives that ranchers view as unnecessary burdens.
For the past two decades, contributions to federal candidates and political committees from this industry have generally increased. In the 2008 election cycle, people and political action committees associated with this industry spent $8.2 million, up 78 percent from the 2006 election cycle. Traditionally, the livestock industry favors Republicans, with 66 percent of contributions going to GOP members in the 2008 election cycle. Most of the contributors are private ranches, but the National Cattleman's Beef Association and the National Pork Producer's Council consistently top the list for their efforts to seek influence at the federal level.
At $3 million in 2009, federal lobbying efforts by the livestock industry are down from an industry high of $3.45 million in 2006.Organizations that represent the interests of American livestock producers nonetheless have a multifaceted legislative agenda. Accounting for almost half of the total industry expenditures is the lobbying efforts of the National Pork Producer's Council, which spent $1.1 million to put pressure on federal legislators in 2009.
The NPPC frequently aims its cash at the Food and Drug Administration in attempts to block animal antibiotics regulation or inspection/recall mandates that they deem an excessive burden on the pork industry. The industry is also concerned with trade regulation and supports protection against imported meat that is often less expensive.
Both the NPPC and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association stand together in the face of what many be their biggest legislative threat: environmental regulation.
Because livestock production involves large releases of methane, a greenhouse gas, any EPA regulation of these emissions will result in increased expenses for the industry. The NCBA supports Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) in her effort to reverse the classification of greenhouse gases as harmful, and therefore, exclude them from EPA regulation. Additionally, the NPPC is an avid opponent of the American Clean Energy and Security Act, passed by the House in 2009, because of what is argues is a resulting loss of land, high corn prices and expensive waste management regulation.
If this type of climate legislation succeeds, the industry anticipates that they will become less competitive in a global market and many producers will be forced out of business.

Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Lyle Lovett and a slew of other singer-songwriters have recorded songs for This One's For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark, set for a November 1 release date on Icehouse Music.
The album includes 30 tracks, recorded in Nashville and Austin and produced by Tamara Saviano and Shawn Camp.
Raised in Texas, Clark has spent the past 40 years in Nashville with his wife, the songwriter and painter Susanna Clark.
"Guy's songs are literature," Lovett said in a statement. "The first time I heard Guy Clark, I thought it made everything I'd heard up to that point something other than a song. His ability to translate the emotional into the written word is extraordinary."
The album's release is timed to celebrate Clark's 70th birthday, on November 6, 2011.
