Accurip-n- Epson 3000
« on: March 04, 2016, 06:11:21 PM »

I tried printing from Acurip to my 3000 and the 3000 just ran for hours producing jiberish.
Tried to cancel it no good unplugged the printed for 2 days no good.
I fed sheet after sheet through the printer just trying to run the program out took forever and never stopped.
Finally I joined 8 sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch paper end to end started it through the printer and about half way through paused the printer and joined the paper into an endless loop and restarted the printer.
That SOB ran for HOURS until the program finally cleared!!!!!!!!
I will never acurip a 3000 ever again....once was enough.

I can see how that would put you off; I was about to type that it is on the list of printers with my older version, but I never used one...

Epson 3000's like to do that if a job doesn't finish. Turn it off, unplug it, open your printers under the control panel, delete the job, if that lags, cntrl-alt-delete, open task manager, close spoolsv.exe, replug the 3000, reboot.

Even with that I love my 3000, 1/2 tones darn near as good as the Epson 7880, and I can run film sizes down to 4" x 6" for the padprinter jobs, the thing never clogs, never dries up and just keeps going as long as I keep putting ink into it, I have an almost new spare on the shelf should it ever stop. T-rip (film-maker) works with it like a champ.

Are the 3000s sold by Sigmo still a decent buy/ safe buy?

Last I spoke with him ( few months ago)  he didn't have anything to sell but was still doing refurbs. Ebay was very good to me last week as I picked up 2 under $200 each.
