Dearest Paul, patron saint of carbon pigment printers,
I regret to inform you that still, your website is run by mere mortals and, much to my chagrin, I have not been able to get it working for the last year. I live in New Zealand.

Thank you for all your work. You give me hope when every Epson printer I touch has a malignant presence which takes offence at me when the printer sees me coming. This results in much expenditure of OEM carts just to see if I can get a perfect nozzle check. 

I just used emptied two OEM carts in attempting to get perfect nozzle checks, before installing a CFS ... and, not wishing to waste NZ $100 on carts that will only be used for testing, I installed the CFS anyway ... and now two colours aren't working at all. (The printer of course worked perfectly after the last service.)

But that's par for the course for me. So now I'm off to spend money I can't afford on more OEM carts:(

But you, Paul, show that for some lucky people, the system can work and are a ray of hope for me that keeps me persevering, much to my friends' bewilderment - 'stick to the HP 7660!' they say - yes, it works, but not for A3 prints, and not for Photo Rag ... and the front-loading feeder has always been a dubious design in my opinion - A5 paper of 280gsm prints crooked.

So thanks for offering that hope in the midst of my despair.

Keep up the good work. I only hope that things become more reliable in the near future.

Best wishes,
Richard
