    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    Yeah, I think it's the same on the 1100.

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    Yes on the replaceable print head! In fact, the print head comes in a separate box and has to be installed. The instructions are also wrong, just following them won't position the carriage where it can actually be installed. I don't recall what I had to do, but if I recall there's a service...

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    Build quality - yeah, the Pro-1100 runs circles around the far more plasticky feeling 3800. It's pretty damn robust feeling, not to mention quite a bit heavier.

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    I just came across that video myself! Haven't watched it yet. I'm also getting up to speed with AM1X files, which has various configuration parameters like max ink capacity and platen gap. It seems they are uploaded to the printer with the Configuration Tool, which is a pretty nice solution...

    color print question (profile/calibration) - am I an idiot?

    I haven't used Qimage since Qimage Pro, like 20 years ago. Not familiar with Qimage Ultimate or Qimage One. But it sounds like you photographed a print, and the output is a photograph of a print. I think you need to rethink the workflow if you want to use a camera for reproduction; it's a...

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    Got the Pro-1100 set up. Reprinted a few prints I had from the 3800 on the same paper (17x22 Epson Glossy) and placed them side by side. Just straight up, no profiles, just to see what's good and what's not. In terms of color they look practically indistinguishable, which is pretty good news...

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    I did see the Canon ink consumption issue, and Keith Cooper's video(s). Leaving it on isn't a problem for me, so I ended up ordering a Pro-1100... It does seem like there are no terrible choices here, and in fact the P900 was another one I eyeballed. The P800/Pro-1000 would be fine too...

    My Epson 3800 is done for, what now?

    Okay, so my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 (K3 Ultrachrome) is done for, after what, 15 years or so. I think the nozzle simply self-destructed; it leaks ink when printing. I noticed it once or twice before over the last year, but now it happens on every print. Maybe it's fixable, but I think it's time...

    Nikon Z9 firmware update version 4.10 released : preliminary tests.

    Steve Perry's review suggest the setting for animals includes birds, but I haven't tried 4.10 yet.

    Many Nikon Nikkor F-mount DSLR lenses discontinued

    Looks to be mainly AF-D and DX lenses. I'm actually surprised they still had this many AF-D products... thought that was mostly discontinued a long time ago. Of these, only the 200/4 AF-D Micro is really much of a loss.

    Z9

    Got my Z9 finally. Love it. It has some oddities, mainly in firmware though. Like, it has four shooting banks and four custom settings banks (for a1-g10 or whatever things that can be set). But it doesn't remember which custom settings bank I used last for a particular shooting bank, so...

    Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S Photos and Discussions

    A few more shot recently with this lens, all with the ZTC14.

    The 400mm

    Yeah, don't get me wrong - sounds like a brilliant optic!

    The 400mm

    Or the St Petersburg Grand Prix (on Feb 27th)... where they allow you as non-press (or press outside of designated press areas) to bring a lens of up to 10" in length. The 500 PF is... ta da, 9.4" without a hood (if anyone shows up with a measuring tape I'll just remove the hood). All the big...

    Z9

    I doubt I'll see my Z9 anytime soon, so am I'm consoling myself with a Z 50/1.2 S until. The 1.2 S is as technically flawless as the 1.8 S, even wide open, but with a lovely rendering while the 1.8 is slightly clinical (though less so than the other 1.8's). It's an unbelievable piece of glass!

    Winter evening on the beach at Sloppy Joe's, Treasure Island, FL. Z7 + 50/1.8 S ISO 720 f/4 1/30s -1.0EV (Oops, posted to the 2021 thread by mistake. :))

    Z9

    I'm spending the winter in Florida and really wish I had the Z9 in my hands right now, as I'm heading to Ding Darling NWR shortly. I did get a shipment notification from B&H this morning which got my attention, but alas it's only for the FTZ2. :) (Not that I expect to see the Z9 this soon...

    Grabbed the Z7 + 500 PF and headed out to look for pelicans... Very pinkish evening winter light now.
