I can't offer much help, but I'm pretty sure Epson has instructions on their site how to clean the rollers on their older printers so they will pick up the paper properly.
I don't do any photo printing at home. I just prefer old fashion chromogenic prints. But if I *was* looking for a new printer, I think Epson now offers printers that use bulk ink. That's what I'd look for. You don't have to replace cartridges, just refill the bottles. And since the bottles are racked on the side of the printer where you can see them, you can always see how much ink is left. On 3/19/2017 4:21 PM, Christine Aguila wrote:
Hi All: Is anyone using the Epson P600? Care to share your thoughts on print quality and user workflows and/or issues? My Epson R2880 is still working, and I have been printing lately, just now in fact, but the rollers aren’t always grabbing on the first try of a print. I often have to try a few times before the rollers agree to grab the paper and run the print. I’m a big Velvet Fine Art user. Love that stuff, but I have to use the back feed, and it’s been fussy lately. I’m definitely considering P600 so that I don’t have to change-out the photo and matte blacks. I see the ink cartridges are much bigger and $32 a pop (listed on the Epson website). Any thoughts about ink? If you have the P600, have you tried it on metallic paper or any other specialty papers? Thoughts? Quality? I have some metallic paper I want to try on the R2880, and may soon, but I’m still interested how it works on the P600. Interested in any and all information you have to share! Cheers, Christine
