Epson 3800
Alright all you printing experts. I just purchased my first real photo printer, previously using a Epson R320, and a new D5 Mark II is on the way. Being in Texas, USA I cant sign up for and take Martins printing class. So I thought some of you might be willing to share some advice on this printer and how to get the best out of it.
So far I have printed some 16 x 20's on Epson enhanced matt paper from 8meg files and even though it is an upres file the results have blown me away. Both color and B and W
I can only imagine what it will be like when I have a 21meg file to work with.
Anyway, you guys have always been helpful in the past.
Happy Hoildays
Rob

Hi Rob
Everything you need to know about your new printer is here, Eric Chan works for Adobe, a great photographer in his own right, he owns, loves and uses his 3800 so much he wrote these notes.
Enjoy

Re: Epson 3800
Rob / Martin,
Have either of you ever experienced any head clogs with the 3800? I am looking at buying a pro printer, the 3800 being on the list - the other being a second user Canon iPF5000 (12 inks, 2 heads, no black in swapping).
I have had a few Epsons in my time, but have ALWAYS suffered heads blockages, even when only ever having used original Epson inks. I am therefore a bit concerned about another Epson, as my last one ended up as scrap due to a clogged head (an R1800).
Any other points I should consider from your combined experience would be appreciated.
Cheers
Pete

Re: Epson 3800
Hi Pete, this is my second Epson over fours years and I have never had one problem, maybe its because I print often, the Epson 3800 will not take paper rolls, it swops inks depending on what papers you use , so there is a small waste of ink, the Canon does not swop, [charge], one advantage of the Epson is its size , for a large format printer it is very compact, the Canon is quite big so check that out before purchase. I have been delighted with the Epson and cannot comment on any other printers as I have not used any other.
