Just checking in a year later. I should mention that I also print with an Epson 9800 and an HP Z3200.
This is a SUPERB little printer. I've printed several hundred images with this device and the only reason my prints don't look great is ME. Easily fixed by diligent application of Photoshop...
Hey, Taksmon! That worked! Thanks a bunch.
It looks like I have to make the user defined size 8.5 X 14.1 The last millimeter (the trailing edge of the print) didn't print. It also looks like I can print borderless any length I want, up to 44". YAY! Thanks again.
I must say, I love this little printer. It's a great companion to my 9800. Glossy, borderless 8 1/2 X 11 prints look superb. My only regret so far is that it won't print borderless on North American "legal" size: 8 1/2 X 14.

I intend on doing mostly borderless, hence my concern with a waste tank.

This is my first experience with a dye printer. WOW! Superb saturation and D-Max.
Thanks for that. I'll print a couple of test images and leave them out in the sunlight. (what little sunlight there is here in Western Canada in winter) :)
Another question, if I might. I'd like to install a waste ink bottle. It looks easy on this printer because there's a little door for...
Received and installed my L805 printer yesterday, direct from Taiwan to Western Canada in about three weeks.
Wow! Dye inks are super saturated. Great little unit. Very happy so far. If I don't have fading problems, I won't convert to pigments.
Why are pigment inks not a good idea for that printer? Do you have experience with this? I am aware that pigment inks have a reputation for clogging. This is not my experience with my Epson 9800.
I found two videos (in Portugese) that show some interesting details, at least for me. This...
Long time Epson printer user- back to the 1160. Formerly a cinematographer based in Vancouver, now retired in SE British Columbia. Use Nikon D800s mostly for landscape work. Currently printing with an Epson 9800 running MIS Associates refillable carts and their Epson equivalent pigment inks...
New here, long time Epson user, including several CIS systems.
Currently running a 9800 with pigment inks and refillable carts.
Considering purchasing an Epson 1430 running the same brand pigment inks. There are advantages for me to standardize both ink and media across the two printers.
