A second, single-sheet top feeder is optimized for fine-art paper, and a front, straight-through manual feeder that can handle thicker (up to 1.5 mm) paper up to 16 by 20 inches.

I shall ensure your 'shaken but not stirred' routine is followed from now on. Wish I'd read this a lot earlier! Just gone through what Cynthia has experienced, but I ended up pulling the plug on P600 (arrives today). They do advise to shake gently before inserting the ink, but I never thought about bubbles or suspensions. You want to avoid vigorous shaking or agitation as this will cause tiny bubbles in the ink which will then create problems when printing i.e. Pigment that has settled out in the cartridge can plug the tubing and the nozzle in the printhead. The goal in doing this is to keep all the ink pigment in suspension. The spare cartridges that I have on hand, I will agitate slowly and then set it back on the shelf in the opposite side from which it had been prior to the agitation every 3 to 4 weeks. You should also make sure to slowly agitate each cartridge prior to its initial installation in the printer.

One of the things that is not widely understood about the cartridges used in the P series of Epson printers is that once you have installed the cartridge it is possible to remove the cartridge agitate it slowly to not create bubbles and reinsert the cartridge with no ill effect. When I say agitate I mean to gently rotate while moving your arm up and down as you rotate the cartridge to mix in any ink pigment that has settled out. Looks like it is discontinued- don't know if refurbished would be OK.Д¬ynthia, one of the things that you should do regularly, (3 to 6 months depending onthe amout of inactivity) is to slowly agitate the cartridges. The P 900 from what I've read should be a very good printer if you have need of a 17' paper width. The front end of my workflow is Capture One supplemented by Topaz apps.

I print using Qimage Ultimate software which I've been using since shortly after getting the 4800. I use a NEC 302 SpectraView which I calibrate regularly. I had a bit more difficulty getting the print to match the monitor at first, but now it is very close. The P800 is a prosumer printer meaning that it is designed for intermittent use so it can withstand sitting idle for a month or more without causing clogging issues. The P800 has had far fewer nozzle clogs which were a constant issue with the 4800 as it was designed to be used in a production environment i.e. The cost of repair was almost as much as the printer cost in late 2005.

I have seen a lot of discussion about the problems with blacks with these printers, but I've gotten a good 10 years out of this thing and I bought it used!Д¬indy, I had an Epson Pro 4800 which gave up the ghost (needed to replace the print head) in late 2015. And I don't think it's worth shipping off for repair.if Epson repair is even functioning these days. I'm not going to take this thing apart- that's way beyond my technical skills. On the other hand, I haven't tested the switching mechanism-can't do anything till I get some new maintenance carts. I found some 'crud' that had gotten into the area of the LK nozzle- will do some cleaning around that area. So the nozzle that is clogged is light black-I don't think that is related to the switching problem.

If it is that switch, you can sure lose a lot of ink by trying to clean them through the printer settings. You didnвЂ™t mention what the problem was in your case, but here is some info on the problem with the switch: The 3880 is known for a particular black nozzle switch problem.
