dear all,
I have my second SC P600 and I use it for photo printing and as I am an electronic hobbyist I also produce circuits boards with the help of transparent sheets with the design of the circuit on it (produced with Eagle software package). This worked for years without any problem.
Since short now, I have an issue that it prints only a part of the circuit. I tried to reproduce the problem on a simple white paper but that worked fine...
I have send a test page to the printer, with a normal paper it does work without any problem, with a transparent sheet I see the problem (see attach, the first page is on normal paper, the second is on a transparent sheet).
Then I requested a configuration report, directly from the display on the printer, and that printed fine both on a transparent sheet and a normal paper.
I have the latest drivers, and in an attempt to remediate I also have installed back the original drivers form my CD without success, the problem persists.
I have the impression that something is broken.
I have contacted Epson support and had a strange experience:
-First they say it is the quality of the sheets, you have to use Epson sheets... despite the fact that I use my sheets for years without any problem, I tried to order Epson sheets and discovered that they do not sell these anymore...
- When I confronted them with that, they said it was the wrong driver... After de-installing and re-installing the latest driver (again) from the Epson site, the problem remains..
- The Epson said: printing on transparent sheets is not supported!!!!!!! The fact that I used this for years did not make any impression on them... They simply left me alone with my problem...
So, my question is: anyone out there with a SC P600 that can do a test and confirm that it works (so my printer is broken ??).
thanks in advance,
Danny
