I have a printer busines, my wife is self employed and we have to kids so alot of printing every...
you can't maximize the mathematical MAX gamut of an Epson 8 Channel Printer using the same driver/RIP
interchanging the Inks and creating a specific profile for it will still never opt out the mathematic MAX
some RIP will blend and use the print patters differently, instead of a 4pass each dot...
either the cleaning / capping station has to be troughoutly cleaned and freed of any dried ink residue that is causing the rubber seal not to seal it properly, i have seen also damaged cleaning assemblies
OR
you have somehow a microfracuture within the ink line black or a cartridge seal...
the main reason for the "old" DX5 printhead is the usability to convert it to a printhead that is utilized by wide format solvent printers
the old r800 still had a PCB that was accessible without the need of any additional hardware
later epson did encrypt the PCBs to ensure that retails wont...
refill your cartriges
prime them (to suck any air trapped inside them out)
reset the chips with the reseter if you have one
install all cartridges
run two cleaning cycles
and let the printer sit for at least 12 hours
your nozzle check should be ok now
according to my test and research MANY aftermarket chips (including single-use and Autoreset) for Epson Stylus Photo class printers and Workforce Series will not work after ~25th of september.
I have many buyers reporting the same issue with cartridges that wont be accepted anymore by their...
I have a customer who bought 6 brand NEW 3880 carts in order to take the chips and use them to switch to refillable carts..
He sold the ink bags on eBay and still got a nice amount of money for it
The Epson Pro Series never had Regional locked Cartridges.
I have seen alot of forgein Design Artist and Graphic Artist on various exibithions and events printing with the 38X0 Series on their event booth. Almost everyone brought the printer with all the equipment from abroad, but when required...
The Artisan 1430 or Stylus Photo 1500W is the "main" carrier here for silkscreen printing application
they use the machine with a "black" ink Rip install 6 refill carts and use high UV blocking dye black ink
there was however a A4 alternative the Artisan 50 / Stylus Photo P50 but it not been...
and yeah 540 GBP is a ridicoulous
you could buy a brand new for 1000 GBP sell each ink cart for at least 40 GBP = 1000 - 360 = 640 GBP for a "brand" new unit
dont talk to Epson directly
they charge a hefty price for a repair since they calculate the WORST Case like Printhead replacemant and stuff
look for an Epson certified workshop
I always go to http://www.oti.de/ Oti GmbH they are like 20min drive from my place in Hamburg Germany
check on the...
when the ink switch doesnt work propely it wont SEAL the actual tubing to the "not active" black channel
when the printer starts pressurizing the carts it cant select individual carts ALL carts are beeing pressureized to let the ink flow

regardless of the paper selection in the printer driver dialog if you desecelct color management in the drivers the driver will just NOT perform any ICC changes with the data it recieves. a similar paper choice in the driver with deactivated CM will just ensure the printer uses the correct paper...
afaik premier imaging papers is manufacturing OEM papers for canon and epson
check this out
Premier Imaging Fine Art Velvet BW, Heavy Weight 100% Cotton BW Matte Inkjet Paper,
Me and my Brother own a Epson Discproducer PP100 and were are both quite happy with it
We even use 3rd party ink and refillable cartridges to push the print cost to a minimum
in theory i have no idea what part could be not working
either a seal? or sth else
imo its worth repairing but you have to make your own caluclation

"INK,SYSTEM,ASSY.,ESL,ASP"
List price: € 103,10
(incl. VAT 19.0 %) (net. € 86,64)
