Epson 3000 for Piezography -- paper thickness, etc

2004-05-09 by Thomas Keesling

Arthur,

I've never been able to get the Hahnemuhle 308 to feed properly through my
Epson 3000. I can get it started and it will print, but the image isn't
printed accurately--it prints short in the paper feed dimension and is
sometimes longer on one side than the other. The Crane Museo (225 gsm, I
think) usually does OK, but it's a bit of a challenge as well. The
Hahnemuhle 188 and 196 work just fine.

As far as AWStolzing@... comments re the 3000. I disagree for the most
part. I've used Mediastreet Generations pigment inks in mine for 2-3 years
without any significant clogging problems. The paper feed mechanism is
somewhat finicky and the newer models are much improved in this regard, but
it's still a great printer for many purposes.
