Epson Stylus 4800 | $800 | Mid-Ohio
« on: August 26, 2016, 09:36:11 AM »
LISTING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND. PM me and I'll get you his digits/email. $800. An hour north-ish of Columbus, Ohio (mount vernon).

*photo is mine, not his*

Lightly used. Last used, probably a good while ago. Everything functions, it is what it is.

Pretty much pickup only, these things suck to ship well without the original packing/proper ink removal, drainage, etc.

-----------
FWIW I find these things are fantastic for the price. Pierre has some strong convictions that they can be made to print VERY well - as in approaching image-setter quality once dialed in.

Do a solid 3+ hours of cleaning (physically, emptying the drains, and cycling). Add re-fillable cartridges. Add AccuInk to one (or more) cartridges and cleaning solution to the remainder. Get the $59, 100ftx17inches roll of film from Nazdar. Choose a decent RIP.     ....Profit. Or, uh, print decent films all day long anyway.

It's not DTS, but for the money the speed and reliability and costs are HARD to beat. Unless you can afford a DTS. Then what are you looking at this for?

My only issue I've had using this exact setup was getting over my annoyance of how AccuRip has their settings requiring me to adjust the driver for every odd sized cut I needed it to make.

I bought mine for $125 and see them listed for $300 all the time, just FYI.

you price nibblers are barking at the messenger boy, I'm just the mule delivering the ad.

if you want the printer and don't like the asking price, make the man a offer.
