Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson 3000 Printer ?

Say a prayer to the epson gods austin. Not all of us have had your luck.
 Did they upgrade the printer since it was released? Thick paper go
through it without banding, and without one side of the image being
shorter than the other? Of course you are using the original piezo inks,
that were way too brown for me. That I know has changed now.

All I was doing is to tell the buyer he MAY get a bad printer, and to
prepare for it.
