    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    Thanks @akramjef! I'm going to check everything mentioned in this page. In case someone need it, I have two different copies of the Service Manual for the Epson Pro 3800. One version has 286 pages (14MB) and another has 306 pages (25mb). The bigger version has a bit more information (specially...

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    I just finished reassembling the bitch and everything is working now... except the prints are still coming completely blank :/ I disassembled almost everything and I double checked every single connector, tube, flat cable and so on. I inspected carefully the board and the power board. With the...

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    Also I verified the whole board. There is no damaged capacitors or any signal of bad soldering. Also the fuse in the power board seems OK.

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    That is how my 3800 print head looks like. Not sure if all these ink droplets are OK and what to do about them.

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    It seems WicReset can not query these information from the 3800. At least here it does not shows the button to access the Status Report window.

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    No error in status monitor, no alert, no blip, no unusual noise or behaviour, nothing. Everything seems perfectly right until the paper comes out the printer. And that is what is intriguing. I've reseted the waste tank counter and all the cartridges level inumerous times just to make sure that...

    My best EPSON PRO 3800 seems to have died!

    My 3800 died this weekend. Same thing as @jtoolman except moving it. I was just preparing to do a print job, turned the printer on and performed a nozzle check directly from the printer. The paper came completely blank, no single drop of ink, nothing. All the cartridges were full, all the...

    Cleaning solution: the ultimate test

    Just to let you know: since mid May, I've been using the @pharmacist solution for cleaning the purge pad and wiper blade from my Epson 3800 and since then it simply never clogged again, even when I left the printer without any job for an entire month (before that I couldn't leave the printer...

    ArgyllCMS + Windows 10: The computer says NO !!!!!

    Windows 10 64-bit here but I installed DisplayCal instead of ArgyllCMS. One of the cool things about DisplayCal is that it will download and install ArgyllCMS and any dependencies if needed. Also it will guide you to disable Windows 10 driver signing which is probably the thing that is causing...

    Auto Nozzle Check and Ink Mark Sensor Adjustment for Auto Nozzle Check

    @jtoolman Thank you for clarifying this topic. It was driving me nuts! Why on earth nobody recommends Auto Nozzle Check, which seems so cool on paper?! Now I can definitely understand the reasons!

    Auto Nozzle Check and Ink Mark Sensor Adjustment for Auto Nozzle Check

    @jtoolman Do you know something about how Epson Auto Nozzle Check works: does it perform a clean in every printer color or, to the contrary, only on those it detects as being clogged? Thanks!

    Auto Nozzle Check and Ink Mark Sensor Adjustment for Auto Nozzle Check

    I have been studying the Epson Pro 3800 Service Manual and I saw one interesting note about Auto Nozzle Check: The sensor scans a nozzle check pattern. The pattern is printed with the all nozzles and each nozzle prints one block. If there is a clogged nozzle, the corresponding block will not be...

    You may not believe this

    Wow, that is absolutely impressive! Compare this to my Pro 3800 which can not be left off even for a week without getting a dozen nozzles clogged.

    Cleaning solution: the ultimate test

    @The Hat , Thank you for claryfying that to me. If you don't mind, I would like to take the opportunity to ask just one more question. Do you think I really need to switch PK to MK in order to get the solution inside MK tubes? What if I don't switch PK to MK and instead just take off the MK...
