Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Goodbye old printers, hello new?

Have a look at the Marrutt site before you scrap them. I rejuvenated my Epson R3000 after it had been in storage.

But when I took my printers out of retirement I found that they have all suffered badly through lack of use.  Yes, there were carts left in, but they were dry stored in airtight bags.  None of them will produce a reliable nozzle check.  They are a 2880 (which I hate to discard but it resists all attempts at cleaning), a 2100, a 1400 and a venerable 1290.  I need a replacement printer.  I mean to use PR's Carbon-6 inkset in refillable carts via QTR.  It has been a while since I was familiar with the available models - is there an acknowledged best performer in the A3 range? The 1500W seems well priced in the UK - is this the same as the 1430?
