Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1280

2011-03-05 by Rusty Sterling

I just ordered my MIS UT2 cartridges last night and I'm looking forward to 
seeing what I can do with the 1280. I do have a 2880 but I still have color 
printing needs and don't want to convert it to B&W only. So the 1280 will give 
me the wide format I need.

FWIW I'm running my 1280 with an 8 foot USB cable on a PC and all is well.

Steve: Thanks. Yes, I am aware. But I only need about 10 to 15 feet -- so 2
to 3 
meters. So it is not a worry for me.

FWIW - some printers are only rated up to about 5metres with USB cables -
after that strange things might happen. I had a 8m cable on a printer in my
office, not a photo type printer, but the scanner and various things
wouldn't co-operate. Changed to 5m cable and all was well...
Not saying this will be a problem for you , but just be aware of it...

Well, I scored a nice buy. I found a WORKING Epson 1280 for -- believe it or
not -- $25. I just ordered the MIS UT2 inksets and look forward to seeing
what I can do now with the R200 and the larger format 1280. 

I'm gonna need a really long USB cord. ;^)
