I’m looking at this: Epson SureColor SC-T2100 Ink Large Format Printer 821 Euro? Mistake? RE: ‘doing automatic maintenance functions, and people complaining about that most likely don't know that they can change printer settings on most printer models’ The Canon 1000 …. has multiple...

Just read …. some of them run cycles every 50 hours and/or at startup

My knowledge is limited …. but I’ve been studying printers recently. Many of them have automatic ‘cleaning cycles’ that apparently deplete ink.

HP DesignJet T230 versus EPSON SURECOLOR F2100 The HP appears similar to the Epson 2100. Both use 4 inks. Reliability Refill issues using pigment ink (only) Thoughts

EPSON SURECOLOR F2100 How about this? 850 Euro 24” (61cm) Pigment ink (standard) Refill requires syringe etc … no idea about this. Amazon sells it … so easy return/s when it fails Roll paper with cutter (Only 27kg … so it can be shipped) It looks similar to SureColor 3100 … why is...

Regarding Epson SureColor SC-T3100x Pro: Refillable ink system Ink is cheap … £20 per 140ml … but it’s ink not pigment (not suitable) Con: Am I correct? Only black is pigment. Other (3) colours are dye? At least that’s how some shops sell it. Question: I’m only interested in non-fading...

Hi Ink Stained Fingers, I’m interested in the output quality and ease of refilling. Information on this site suggests manufacturers ink is superior to generic. Until now, I had presumed ‘ink is ink’. My assumption is apparently wrong. If uou buy pigment ink, and the seller hasn’t adulterated...

RE: Web pages … spent a fortune messing around with web sites when the internet was fairly new (early 1990s for non academics). Wasted $7000 on my first site …. designed by the author of a thick book about HTML. That site needed to be scrapped as the expert knew nothing … (I’ve no idea how he...

If I print 17” x 24” … the paper cost (for 10,000 prints) is around 4470 Euro. (149 rolls @ 30).

Hi (anonymous), I’m not worried about my time, as I consider it fun to play around with new projects. In any case, I plan to dump a load of paper into the printer and instruct it to print … without me monitoring it. We shall see how that works in reality. Regarding the paper … yes, I’ve...

The choice seems to be either the HP Designjet T230 or Canon 1000. Thank you for these options. Until now, I hadn’t heard of either. Canon has 12 inks. HP uses 4. Which one? Which is easier to re-fill?

In case anyone is interested, this is my understanding of a ‘Dye Sub’ printer. Price on eBay today … 730 Euro. Original price in 1990 … $10,000. The first version (mine) was useless due to lack of UV layer. Prints quickly faded.

Read the article about ‘printing-low-megapixel-images/‘ The up-rezzing software looks interesting. Wish I’d had it ten years ago whilst messing around with my old shots.

Ink stained Fingers, There used to be a girl at my school called Fishy Fingers. RE: “prepare image files for print - this could be some noise suppression - sharpness enhancement - color adjustments” Yes, I’m familiar with the basics. In fact, I believe my copy of Photoshop may have been...

Mr Hat: RE: “your head does seem to be screwed on properly even if I didn’t reckon so originally” Now you are making me blush. It’s the first nice comment I have received since … ? (Maybe the only one). … Here’s some math to dazzle you - (and don’t ask me how I arrived at the result...

Add: Epson T3100x … reading about this printer. Specs indicate ‚line art and drawings‚ (rather than photos). Is this because it uses only 4 inks? Thank you Ink Stained Fingers, Initial research indicates: Epson t3100x is interesting because of the easy refill design. Price 2400 Euro...

Yes, I certainly do. It seems I have hit the jackpot with this site. Good cop, bad cop, and knowledgeable (unlike real cops) Thank you Ink Stained Fingers… for pointing me towards the Epson T3100x. I’ve had a quick look at the specs, and as you say … the built in CISS alternative is...

Hello again ‘The Hat’! Agree with you (shock) about the age of the 3880, and have just discovered the new low prices for plotter (?) type photo printers. In other words, no need to go hunting for old printers when new units are available for almost the same price. Note: Need to confirm I...

Add - Adding to my knowledge: Thank you for pointing me towards ‘Epson T2100/3100 or the Canon TA20’. These are new, and the price is similar to older/used printers. It seems ‘Mr Hat’ is correct in this regard, and presumably, these modern plotter things do have a ‘built in CISS’ equivalent. If...

Hi Ink stained Fingers! This is a nice forum. Fast replies from experts. Great. RE: “for an 24" printer , the Epson 3380 runs 17" paper.” You are correct, and I am flexible. 17” x 24” is fine. RE: “you are planning to go into a kind of print production mode” Yes, a little factory for a...
