Re: [Digital BW] Who's using Eboni 3-MK R800/R1800

2007-10-14 by Stephen Kobrin

Scott,

From my experience with the R800, I would guess that the problem you
encountered -- the printer passing the paper through -- is hardware
rather than software related.  I have had it happen with the Epson
driver and with QTR.  I think it is a mechanical problem rather than
software.  It is frustrating, but I find if you just keep at it a
reasonable percentage print.  That does not say much for the
construction of the printer, but it does work.
