Get the 3800 ... it'll be a revelation when you print the A900 files.:lecture:Jono, I know I need to do my little bit to keep the economy going but I've just had a google at the Epson 3800......and at £900ish for the printer and £425 for a full set of replacement inks, I can't help but feel there is plenty of life left in the o'l canon yet :ROTFL:.
Yep, I can feel another ton of my cash will be spent soon, replacing my ageing R2400. There ought to be a health warning about 'expensive habit forming' with this forum:ROTFL:Get the 3800 ... it'll be a revelation when you print the A900 files.:lecture: IMO, get the version with Color-Burst Rip software ...
Thanks Dave, I'll certainly keep an eye out for that.Bob
Shop around on the internet for genuine Epson pigment ink replacements cartridges. In the UK 7 Day shop is a good starting place but even Amazon occasionally have them at half price. I usually buy in bulk quantities about twice a year.
My printing sessions can look like that too. I have even turned my printer off for a few months (rather than leaving it to auto clean as needed), turned it on, it did a clean, and I resumed printing without issue. Others have reported the same.thanks for that Dale, I hadn't thought about head clogging.
I tend to not print for a month or two, then I spend hours running off lots of stuff.
I wonder if Epson has improved this area?.
I wonder if that's the same with the 3800?my understanding with the 4880 is that it is better to turn off the printer when idle as the heads then park in a way that keeps them from clogging. i have done so with good results
