Re: [Digital BW] Solutions for smaller prints?

2014-02-26 by Elliot Puritz

I use the 2880 and find the ability to change ink carts quickly to be an
advantage.  I use both K3 Epson and the Cone inks in a variety of sets and
split sets.  Once the carts are filled with the Cone inks it is a relatively
simple matter to remove the K3 carts, clean the capping station, run a quick
flush, insert the Cone inks, run a nozzle check and print.  It is faster to
switch the black and white ink sets without the need for quite as much
"cleaning". 

 

My printing volume is not exceptionally high, but so far the 2880 has
behaved well.

 

Another interesting option might well be to have the 1400 for Paul's carbon
inks and the 2880 for everything else..or two 2880s, one for black and white
and one for color.

 

It is very interesting to know of the reliability of the 1400.

 

Obviously no printer will be "perfect".  Having no current need to print
very large images means that the 2880 fulfills the need.
