Re: Epson R3000 - A Report

2012-08-23 by Seth Rossman

I had absolute fits with roll paper and canvas.  Even trying to cut some 
roll and front feed, the front feeder pulled the same garbage on me.

BTW, Clayton, right after I bought mine I did printouts for Hawk 
Mountain with the Epson inks, then switched to MIS and did another set.  
The ICCs are available at Hawk Mountain for Condor BW and Merlin Photo.

The down side:
The thing I absolutely HATE is the loss of the manual load button. I 
prefer to start some of the heavier papers in the top feed myself and 
make sure they load straight.
The other thing they took away (and Epson tech support blows off) is the 
loss of the AUTO nozzle check and alignment functions.  A step backwards.

Adding an external waste tank is easier, with NO cutting or mods.
That said, watch what happens when you switch from MK to PK and back.  
The ink purge is NOT in the same place as the cleaning cycle; it is on 
the left side instead.  I don't think that uses tubes either, so a 
change of pads will be needed.
