RE: [Digital BW] Newbie here -- considering buying the Epson 3000

2003-05-03 by Shire,Stanley

Be very, very aware that there are "good" and "bad" 3000 printers. Don't
know why, but the "good" ones seem to work wonderfully (we have one of
those) and the "bad" ones band and throw paper out and require constant
fiddling (we have one of those also.) The "bad" 3000 has been through a
head transplant and major surgery by our Epson service center (this is a
"good" service group) to no avail.
There is no way to differentiate them until they begin behaving badly.

Subject: [Digital BW] Newbie here -- considering buying the Epson 3000

I'll try to be as concise as possible, and I appreciate any help I 
can get. I am considering purchasing the Epson 3000. I don't have 
the money at the moment to buy a larger printer, and the 3000 will 
allow me to print up to 16 x 20. I once had a B&W dark room & I have 
a body of work that I processed and printed myself. I no longer have 
the dark room, but I have been selling 8 x 10 prints on eBay. I have 
had requests for larger prints. I have also had many requests for 
new work. That is why I am considering buying the 3000. Most of my 
work is B&W, but will be selling some color prints also. Quite a few 
of the originals were made from infra-red film and some from a 4 x 6 
format. My new work will be with the 4 x 6 camera for now as my 35mm 
finally gave up the ghost. Any suggestions or advice would be great, 
as I want to purchase the printer within the next few days. 
Thank you much in advance.
