Epson 3000 for Piezography -- paper thickness, etc

2004-05-07 by Arthur Fink

I've been getting great results printing with the original Cone plug-in on 
my Epson 1520, and MIS UT-FS ink -- but ink costs are killing me!

So ... I'm planning to switch either to an Epson 3000, which has very large 
ink cartridges (and InkJetMall distriburtes double size ones), or to 
another printer with a CIS.  Frankly I'd prefer the 3000 solution, which 
would give me a larger print area, and save me all the complexity of 
managing a CIS.  However, paper feed is an issue.

Tech support at InkJetMall says that papers over 250 gm/m2 will be a 
problem.  Thus I couldn't keep using PhotoRag 308, but 188 should be fine.

What is your experience with the Epson 3000?  Does it confirm these 
comments?  Anybody want to push me one direction or the other?
