Advice for a new film printer??
Mr Tees!!:
Hey gang!
I think my 3880 may have finally crapped the bed. What are the folks here using for films? We are not ready for dts or laser yet, so that's out. Looking for something 17" wide, larger is okay but I'd get limited use out of it . Also hoping for something with refillable ink carts. We currently use Accurip for the RIP, but haven't been thrilled with that lately and would consider something different for that too if its easy and relaible.
Thanks all!!!!

Our Epson P400 recently stopped working. We got a Canon Pixma to hold us over until the Epson T3270 could be shipped. Pixma can go 13x19. Epson can hold rolls 17" and 24." Those were on backorder and we finally got ours in a couple weeks ago after waiting a few months. Got Filmmaker as a Rip. Had to also purchase a PC laptop, because Filmmaker is PC only. Accurip doesn't work on the T3270 from what I remember, and is a monthly subscription.
Buying and setting up new film printers is a pain. They keep getting more expensive and my separation process keeps getting more complicated. We absolutely needed the help of a tech to make sense of Filmmaker, what a clunky software

If you can find an EPSON 4880 they are worth purchasing. Should be able to get 5 years out of one in semi decent shape. They are getting old by now and I would imagine there will be some plastic deterioration going on.
Still, great bang for the buck if you can find one.

I have used filmmaker for years. I also have t3270 2 ink 3 cleaning carts. printer I love. the refillable carts not so much. buy the 700ml of all last long time over a year depending on size prints and how much solid area. I am using ink and cleaning solution from filmdirectonline.com I didn't buy there refillable probably should have.

I'll second the T3270, ours is about 4-1/2 years old, and has been, with one exception that was easily solved, a workhorse for us.
