That would be ideal. But before even thinking about how the drivers/software would work for this, do any of these have a multisheet feeder. I'd need it to write on the chart sheets(with preprinted templates )one after the other.

Alright so from what I gather, If I let the other colors go empty and trick it into thinking they're full, and only print black, it will not be perfectly black (doesn't matter to me) and it will potentially damage the other heads.

OK thanks. Also if I let the others run empty, would those heads still burn out even if I set it to print black only in the driver? Seems like it shouldn't since they won't be being used.

So for the Epson, if I were to let all the other colors run empty except black, would this stop me from printing black? If not, then I think getting a used or already damaged 3800/3880 would be cheaper than the T120. Also no I wouldn't want to mess with RIP software. Any reason I would have to...

If it uses all the inks during cleaning, how will it use less if they're all black? Also how often does it clean? Also does it stop you from printing at all if the other inks are empty? If it were possible to trick it into thinking the other inks are full when empty, would that harm the...

I think I'm gonna try getting a used older model like the Epson 3800 from eBay. The T120 is a foot wider which limits where i can fit it. Worried about speed though, can't find any data on how fast it would be. Maybe someone here can test this: Try printing an image that is all white and see if...

Oh no. I want 25 inch length not feet. 14inches x 25inches. In that case is it not crazy to expect to be able to print 14 sheets with a small amount of scattered text(painted on a blank image file) in 3-5 minutes?

Haven't seen that one. I'd prefer 17" width though and I can't find any data on if the tray holds multiple sheets. I'd need it to be able to hold and feed through atleast 14 sheets in a go. Also print speed. Are these printers smart enough to skip past blank spots or do they go at a constant...

Thanks guys. Also is there a cheaper printer that will do what I want to do? A $1200 pro photo printer with 12 colors is kind of overkill as I only need to print a bit of text in certain spots on charts. Unfortunately its the only thing I can find that's suitable. I looked at wide format...

OK. But I'm printing on preprinted and pre-folded charts(so they fit in a folder), so I can't use roll paper. I'm using a blank image file with text painted in. Yeah, I thought so, I'm just worried the multi-sheet feeder might be picky as I mentioned earlier because it asks for a specific...

Thanks, but I forgot to mention that I did test out the drivers for the 3880 and p800 and was able tell it to print with the 25.5" length, but since I don't have the printer I don't know if the printer itself will stop me after that point. The only reason I'm concerned is because I saw in a...

I'm doing a project that involves overlaying text on charts that are 14" x 25.5". I was wondering before I buy one of these if it's going to be a problem because it says from 4” x 6” to 17” x 22” on Epson's site for the P800.
