Digital BW, The Print

Ok, I have to admit...I'm not a technician.  My strong suit is getting 
aesthetically pleasing and compelling images captured to the camera -
getting them on to paper is another story! 
Since I'm finding all of this a bit overwhelming at the moment i'm 
going to try asking what I think are simple questions in hopes of 
getting simple, straightforward answers.

1)  can I use plain inkjet paper for nozzle checks and head 
alignments?  i've ended up using Epson Premium Glossy photo paper so 
far and that seems excessive to have to do it that way. 

2)  Twice while running the alignment utility, the job has given me a 
paper mismatch error even though I'm certain i set up the parameters 
correctly (run from the printer console, not from the pc applet).  
Anyone ever have this issue?

3)  I read somewhere (maybe here) that the printer switches between 
photo black/matte black cartridges automatically depending on the type 
of paper you tell it you're using.  My understanding is that you have 
to switch the cartridges from the printer console (even though both 
cartridges are installed, you have to manually switch which one is 
used).  Am i correct?

4)  After finally running the first head alignment and nozzle check, I 
was able to print some great prints.  Let the printer sit for two days 
and the next print that came off the printer had vertical banding 
again. Ran both the nozzle and alignment utilities and it began 
printing fine again.  Do both of these utilities fix the banding or 
was it just the alignment utility?

5)  Would anyone like to buy my brand new 3800 for a good price and 
become my personal printer? :)


thanks for all the advice!

It switches automatically depending on the media type selected in the
print driver. Haven't looked into the console switching, if it exists.

My 3800 is behaving very well once I became familiar with using it. I
think you just need a little more patience and time with it. I had my
own quirky dealings with it for the first week.

Ok, I have to admit...I'm not a technician. My strong suit is getting

Since I'm finding all of this a bit overwhelming at the moment i'm 
going to try asking what I think are simple questions in hopes of

1) can I use plain inkjet paper for nozzle checks and head 
alignments? i've ended up using Epson Premium Glossy photo paper so

[EJ Neilsen] Yes, plain paper is fine.


2) Twice while running the alignment utility, the job has given me a 
paper mismatch error even though I'm certain i set up the parameters 
correctly (run from the printer console, not from the pc applet). 
Anyone ever have this issue?

[EJ Neilsen] I don't need to run an alignment that often. I don't have that
printer so I won't speak to the mismatch error, but are you running the
utility from the computer or printer?



3) I read somewhere (maybe here) that the printer switches between 
photo black/matte black cartridges automatically depending on the type 
of paper you tell it you're using. My understanding is that you have 
to switch the cartridges from the printer console (even though both

and the next print that came off the printer had vertical banding 
again. Ran both the nozzle and alignment utilities and it began 
printing fine again. Do both of these utilities fix the banding or 
was it just the alignment utility?

[EJ Neilsen] Again, you should need to run an alignment that often. A nozzle
check will generally take care of drop outs and some banding. 


5) Would anyone like to buy my brand new 3800 for a good price and 
become my personal printer? :)



[EJ Neilsen] Perhaps, what might work for you is to go slow and ask
questions. The Espon Wide Format groups may also be a good resource for
these issues. 


thanks for all the advice!

At times its hard to analyze nozzle checks unless they are on a glossy paper, 
and you use a loop... it also makes it easier to distinguish between 
alignment samples. So yes, it hurts, but yes, its the right way to do it.

Nope, but media is not really the issue with the alignment utility, so I'd 
ignore it...

The key thing to note about 3800 changes is not how much ink it takes (Epson 
claims virtually none) but the TIME it takes (I'd estimate three minutes). You 
won't possibly miss this process; you'll be well aware when it happens!

Nozzle check doesn't "fix" anything, it just tells you whats broken... <G> 
But sometimes just running a print or two will make things clear up, so its not 
possible to predict what element was the cause...

CD, It must be too late in the evening.  I believe you have previously
mentioned the thickness of the media is critical for alignment samples
..

Ian, alignment requires the correct paper.  You are using Epson paper,
right?  If not, you need to do custom paper setup, which I suggest not
attempting until you have more experience with the procedures.

I tried to find a section in the book and online guides (printer and LFP
remote panel) that might help you out.  The information is so widely
scattered, that it is not possible to point you to a particular area.
Unfortunately, you need to immerse yourself into all of it, and then
experiment.  You could go through $100s of dollars of materials using a
disorganized approach, and still not know what’s happening.  Maybe checkout
a local camera club?
That being said, you should be able to align the 3800 with the supplied
luster paper (the bag that says “for use with auto head alignment during
printer installation), and make fantastic prints on luster right away, so I’
m not sure what went wrong.   Keep at it; you will get there.

Best regards,
John Moody

John,

I'm using Epson premium glossy Photo paper for the head alignments.  
I burned through the Luster paper supplied with the printer 
already.  
Just so you all know I'm not completely nutty, I'm including an 
excerpt from an Epson technician reply I recieved today regarding 
nozzle checks on the 3800.  As for the prints I'm getting off the 
printer, when everything is working correctly, I'm very happy with 
the results of my b/w prints using the ABW settings with minimal 
tweaking.
Thanks again for listening and for your input....

Thanks for the heads up; pun intended
 :-)
Yeah, I can just envision 
 from their viewpoint the glitch is not pissing
away ink at timed intervals.

Hi John,

I turned off Printer Watcher and now (my work station is next to the 
3800) ever little bit I hear the printer whir and the head move.  Not 
sure what is going on but I suspect you are correct.  (and the 
intervals seem quite frequent)  By the way, there is no lever to 
allow the print heads to be moved manually off the capping station on 
this printer model.

Paul,

That's interesting.  If the Watcher is turned off, it's not suppose 
to still be moving the print heads.  Did you go into preferences and 
tell it not to start when your computer starts?  I'd try that and 
then reboot and see if it continues to move the print heads at 
intervals.

On a side note with my printer, I may have a paper sensor issue 
which Epson tech support says can be calibrated.  Of course, I have 
to reach them via phone while i'm in front of the printer which 
involves rushing home at 5pm and catching them before they close at 
6pm PST.

Hi Ian,

Able to get it quieted down.  Rebooted, turned it (Watcher) off, 
rebooted and turned printer on and it has been quiet since.  Strange 
goings on.  Would be interested to hear what you learn about the 
paper sensor.

Paul,

Well, Epson tech support said I shouldn't have to do a head 
alignment on this printer.  As for the horizontal banding I was 
occasionally seeing, they said that's due to clogged nozzles or 
paper feeding issues, not head alignment.  They also said I 
shouldn't be using the Epson premium glossy for head alignments even 
though the manual and the setup from the control panel says you 
can.  They recommended either the enhanced matte or premium luster 
for this.

that's all I know.  we'll see how it goes from here.

good luck to you!
