Free, clogged 4800 for parts or repair! SF Bay Area

2010-04-06 by John Broski

OK, I quit!  I have a badly clogged 4800 that needs a new home.  Unit is 
clean and has had relatively low usage.  I'm an amateur photographer, 
not a print shop.  In fact, I'm sure that infrequent use is what led to 
the clog.

Clog first happened about a year ago.  Printer is loaded with MIS K4 
pigment inks.  I tried regular and power cleanings, soaking the head in 
a puddle of Windex, using a cloth strip, etc, all to no avail.  I needed 
to print for a show, so I bought a Canon iPF5100 and put the Epson 
aside.  Last week I pulled it out and repeated all the tricks -- still 
badly clogged.

I live in the SF Bay Area (east bay, near Walnut Creek).  Please email 
me if you're interested.  I can help you load it into your vehicle.  I 
also have a bit of MIS K4 ink and a large-format chip resetter that go 
with the 4800.  The unit is fitted with refilled Epson 220ml carts, 
averaging about 1/3 full.  Ink is probably outdated by now.

Free to good home... I need the floorspace!
