    My new printer: Epson Photo R3000 A3+ printer !!!

    I did and they said they would never open factory seal. I just email them again and will see what they say about used selling as new. Something is fishy. Ink suctions are soaked with ink: The sponge is soaked with clear fluid which splashed everywhere:

    My new printer: Epson Photo R3000 A3+ printer !!!

    Thanks for the reply websnail but looks like I might not need it afterall as I just found out my brand new R2000 is actually used, probably refurbished. This is 3 open box in a row the retailer trying to give me. I don't know what's going on but not impressed. Perhaps EPSON CANADA is selling...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    The thing is it happens to non-borderness printing too, and they actually mentioned it in repair manual only. The banding toward both ends of the paper actual exist on any prints, but not apparent because they blend into the details. Guess I will just rotate out the blue sky for printing to...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    I am using IS dye ink. What I have found is that my 1400 could never achieve perfect alignment on row #3 (finest resolution?) using the "Print Head Alignment". The user manual says I should keep realign until they are perfect but I have been staying with 5/5/5 for a dozen times and the print...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    But I have never printed borderless. All my 4x6 have 3mm white borders. The annoying part is both the top and bottom of the prints suffer from visible banding while area A looks alright. Does that mean all Epson printers behave this way even the newer ones? Or is the 1400 considered low-end so...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    I think I may have found the reason. It was by design? :ep I looked up the service manual and it actually states the print quality of the bottom 1.7in will suffer. This is shocking because 1.7in is a lot. Boy who in their right minds would design a printer this way? Still, the global banding...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    I have no way to tell because I don't have bigger photo papers but since I will be printing a lot of 4x6 too, I would like to know if anyone using this printer w/o issue. The only reference I can find is this (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=34119670) and seems...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    I have done a few nozzle checks and always looked fine upon close inspection. I went so far using a 10x loupe checking. The pics in the 1st post are original prints with banding. I have done everything I can think of w/o success to reduce the banding any further. I wish to know if this is the...

    1400 two bandings in one picture

    Okay this must be beaten to the death for such old model but I have not found much useful info after lengthy google so I have decided to ask before having mine refund for good. Basically what happens is that after a few dozen realignment, cleaning and nozzle check, there are still banding on...

    Epson 1400 sleep or off? Swellable puddling?

    Hi! This is my first post and please bear my ignorance as I just got my 1400. So, I have installed the Precision Colors dye ink (not CIS) and re-routeed the waste ink to ext bottle. Everything is working fine but as been said before, this printer drinks ink. I have noticed how much ink is being...
