Re: Setting up an Epson 10000CF for eb6 printing?

2014-07-02 by deanwork2003@...

I used the 10k for Cones K6 neutral inks for several years. It was the least clogging and easiest to use Epson printer I ever set up for monochrome work. I used Ernst's method of refilling the original Epson carts. Never had a problem of any kind. There were some third party refillable 10K carts that came out later and might still be around. The print head eventually went bad because I had done 10 years worth of work that machine and it just finally wore out. But never a problem with the inks going through it or linearizing it for high quality work, up to 40x60 in size.

My method was to use Studio Print which gave very sharp and very smooth results. Roy did have a work around for QTR that worked and I was able to make that work also. I believe he was basing it on the Epson 9500 driver. I just can't remember. You could ask him through the QTR yahoo forum. But it was supported.

I bet Ebony 6 would work well in that printer. With what I was doing with it I never had to even do a nozzle check. It was always totally clear as long as my head lasted.

I miss that old printer, and probably should have replaced the head in it myself and kept it. But I ended up giving it and two 9600s away for free when I upgraded.
