    Found NOS Epson Ultra HD Photo Stylus R280... decisions, decisions!

    Just found a brand new in box with all the ink and everything Epson Photo Stylus R280 "Ultra Hi-Definition Photo Printer" and I need a little help deciding what to do with it. It's an old model but I see it selling for 10x what I paid... likely because it's still used for DTG printing. Anyway...

    LARGE flatbed photo scanner?

    I’m looking for recommendations on an oversized flatbed scanner. I know A3/wide format flatbeds exist but I was hoping for something even larger, like A2. I’ll happily accept SuperA3+ or Tabloid/A3 scanner recommendations too, since I can stitch multiple smaller scans and it would still save me...

    Epson UltraChrome hierarchy/timeline?

    For sourcing ink from larger industrial printers, I’m trying to figure out which colors are the same between the different UltraChrome ink sets. Here’s the sum total of what I know so far, edited with contributions from Ink stained Fingers below: Epson UltraChrome (UC) is Epson’s first pigment...

    12x18” “Xerox Digital Color Select Gloss” Best way to use this paper?

    I got several reams of Xerox Digital Color Select Gloss from a thrift store in anticipation of a future project where I am going to need a lot of oversized paper. It was super cheap! Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with inkjets and it’s too big for any of my laser printers. Would a place like...

    Anyone know why I was able to reset this empty Epson T58 Y (3800, 3880, P800)?

    We are commonly told to reset before 15% with many suggesting not to let it get under 30% for peace of mind. My understanding is that the printer flags the cartridge as used and writes the value somewhere on the chip after it gets too low. Resetting early prevents this. I have an Epson original...

    Oops: Refilled LLK cart with LK. What next?

    I bought a complete set of OEM T58 empties with resettable chips for my 3880 but the only OEM ink I have at the moment that isn’t already inside a T58 is a 700ml UltraChrome LK cartridge from one of Epson’s industrial printers. I ended up accidentally putting it into my LLK cart. Oops! I went...

    Trouble resetting OEM T58 carts (Epson Pro 3800/3880)

    I’m aware that you need to reset these carts before they get too low or else they will not reset, but I’m finding that LK, LLK, and VLM will not reset even when they are near full. I bought a second set of OEM empties that were already reset and preconfigured for refilling (one-way valve...

    What would make a 3D printer suddenly start clogging repeatedly? (CR-10)

    What would make a 3D printer suddenly start clogging repeatedly? (CR-10) My brother and I recently got a CR-10 and went through two full rolls of filament and the original small roll without any clogging or filament issues. Suddenly, it's clogging every other print. We are using cheap Inland...

    Saving a 3880 (Epson Stylus Pro 3880)

    TL;DR? Questions are in BOLD. Thanks! :) Hi, guys. Despite being a techie I've been a bit of a printer-phobe most of my life due to some bad experiences in the '90s. I've always been a color laser guy. :) Anyway, I've got some projects coming up that are going to require a large-format...
