Best Inkjet Printer?

[244]

A quick google search said resetting the cartridges was trickier and a few other things: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=80527.0

I think it depends on what type of cartridges you get. The ones we have, you just lay a paper clip or a flat head screw driver across two of the leads on the chip and that resets it. Works out well. But like I said occasionally there is a issue where the printer doesn't like the aftermarket cartridge and gives us a error message. We end up having to remove the cartridge and reinsert it. A pain without a doubt!

Just a FYI. Do NOT let the ink cartridges think they are less than half full. When you do the reset the chips have a bomb mode in them and somewhere less than half full they will not reset to the original code.

Darryl, Didn't you know? That is a key feature of Epsons, at one point or another you just want to throw the thing out the window! Probably why people always have to upgrade

Tell me about it. I really have a problem with claims that those printers run without causing any problems such as clogged nozzles. Unfortunately there is no real alternative to an Epson, at least nothing affordable for a small to mid size print shop. We used to have Xante Screenwriter back in the UK and even though the films came out a lot better then anything an Epson can produce the registration was slightly off sometimes. Wonder how Oyo imagesetters compare.

OYOs are thermal imagers and not true imagesetters but they work fine. Only problem is that if you have to re-output a film you might as well re-output the whole job because its a crap shoot if the new film will line up to the old ones. Don't know if they're still owned by Boeing.

That's true!  ALso, when a nib goes out, and they will go out, GET OUT YOUR POCKET BOOK!  5 grand!

They used to do hot swaps, don't know if they still do as their popularity has waned.

Friend of ours had a oyo that when out more than once, 5k for a new head, that's when he called me and asked about our epson....they bought a 4900 bundle from Ryonet.   I got 3 3000 printers only one works and its about to drive me crazy with film loading, I'm going to bite the bullet and try and get a 4800, Sigmo just don't have anything anymore.
