    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    I don't think you will have a problem. Maybe humidity isn't the right word, but you have to forgive me , english is not my native language. What i mean is, say you 've printed for your shop little A3's that write 30% off. If you tape them to the window they are in the spot that the outside...

    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    Go for the 1500w. Same machine, only difference is the ink tank and that it costs double the money.;) As for the printing with the dye OEM inks. I've made some leaflets double sided with the claria dye inks. Ok , pretty much decent quality in the "text and photo" setting. I've printed some...

    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    I'm not asking for an exact number. More like "it's more than 30 A3 posters" or "it's less than 50 A3 photos".

    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    A question just for statistical reasons. How many A3 posters or Photos can a ciss with 100ml per color give, before it runs out of color? (photo quality printing) A second question, for realistic reasons. Haw many A3 pictures or posters can the 1500w print non stop with no problem? Should we...

    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    It's waterproof and has better fading resistance (or so i'm told). I always use the OEM cartridges with my new printers and not sell them, for two reasons. 1) The OEM inks that come with most printers are not filled up to the top, but in most cases up to 50% of capacity or even less. To sell...

    A3 printer for freelance graphic designer (Epson 1290 EOL). Epson Stylus Photo 1500W?

    I suppose it is ok, but keep in mind something @The Hat has said in another thread about ciss and pigment ink. http://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/which-pigment-ink-for-epson-1500w.9323/page-2#post-76006 The best way according to those who know is a top feed CISS if we are going to use...

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    Ok, if you say so, i trust your experience.;) A question about top load and bottom feed ciss. Until now i just knew about ciss. What is the difference between them. A photograph example perhaps?

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    I don't have a preference between the two kinds. I just want to know which one will give me better results overall, both in quality and fade/water resistance. I don't care particularly about the cost difference between the inks. I do care for the print head longevity though. I have read that...

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    The printer was delivered a couple of days ago. This is my first heavy duty inkjet printer. Until now i was using smal inkjet printers for everyday jobs and photographs (mostly HP) and for the heavy duty work i had my laser printers. So i 'm kind of new in the "serious" heavy duty inkjet...

    Aldi Deal: HP Officejet 6600 E-All-in-One € 99.99

    Nice deal! I can't find the 6600 under 130€ here. I would definetly consider it if i had a need for that kind of printer. The refilling of the 933 is a bit tricky though. You 'll need special needle types.

    Using a printer that has been in store

    6 months is one thing, 2 years is another.;) But besides that, every case is different. It depends of many factors. Storage, location humidity or dryness, prior use, overall maintenance, and yes, the quality of the ink as well. But the rule is that after a 2 year storage, the printer will be...

    Oh-oh. CD printer?

    I have printed some Cd's on my sister's pixma ip7250. Cheap little printer, but if you want the basic printing features, and good quality (for it's price range), i would recommend it.

    Using a printer that has been in store

    It was out of commission for two years. Even if he used the best inks in the market, the results would be the same. ;)

    New 5 Colour Laser Printer from Oki..

    I didn't mean print directly on t-shirts. But because of the white toner it can print in iron paper, and then transferred on black t-shirts. A more accurate white color representation, than just leaving the iron paper with no color in the white areas of the stamp.

    New 5 Colour Laser Printer from Oki..

    I think the only feature worth to mention is the fifth color.A feature useful mostly among those who print on t-shirts, and i think that this target group has some cheaper solutions.

    Which Pigment Ink for Epson 1500W?

    I'm about to buy one of those. Haven't had an Epson for almost 20 years. I'm not sure yet about the longevity of the 1500w if i only use pigment ink, but i'm going to do it anyway. Dye ink won't work for the work i want to do with it. So my question is: For an Epson 1500w that is going to work...

    Using a printer that has been in store

    I agree too.First put new cartridges in. Try a nozzle check. If that doesn't work, do as @cls says.
