Digital BW, The Print

I have not worked with enough samples of these printers to be sure of this,
but I think the R1800 is a little better than the R800 with respect to paper
feed.  Still, even with some Epson Premier Art Scrapbook (205 gsm)
yesterday, I had to feed one page at a time into the 1800 when making
multiple prints.

 

I have a spray bottle of Ace hardware janitorial strength ammonia that I
spray onto the middle right of an EEM and feed through the printer
occasionally to clean the rollers.  That helps (but stinks up the office a
bit).

 

I have mixed feelings about the R260's amazingly better feed (no problems
with any paper less than 315 gsm).  If they could only achieve this with the
lower smoothness I see in the 100% carbon printing, I'm not sure it's worth
it for what I want to do.

Lets hope that the mechanical problems which plague the R800/1800 have
been fixed. Particulary, the paper feed mechanism. I go through
every Ango-Saxon work I know every time I try to print.
