Re: BW printer pick help request - Maintenance

2018-06-18 by roscoetuff@...

Looks to me as though neither the P400 nor P600 have a replaceable waste ink tank like the P800 does. Not sure what this means exactly in terms of YMMV relative to usage. Will the P400 r P600 top up and refuse to work at some point? while a P800 would simply request a new maintenance tank? Anyone know?

Paper handling is the 2nd question. I've found the P800 pretty robust. I've used the top loader pretty much for everything until just recently when it began requesting that I use the front "art paper" (17 X 22 fine art matte paper) loader (when using QuadtoneRIP). There are some minor alignment possibilities in running a piece of paper through twice, but not of great significance. Works fine so far.

By contrast I've seen some negatives on the P400 for paper handling. Not a whole lot of info on either the P400 or P600 printers btw, so I hope that's not telling me something (i.e. no one's using these). I think Jon Cone's suggested they were about to run a workshop using the P400's so maybe that will provide a decent "lab".Any information here would be helpful. Thanks!
