![]() ![]() ![]() The problem is, there are always 2 or 3 random nozzles still firing, creating some faint banding on the prints. The gamut doesn't seem to change at all, and given a large enough number of patches and some optimization the results are more than acceptable. Just out of curiosity, I tried creating some profiles with the printer as is (the VLM is not firing at all), with surprisingly good results. One third option is using the printer by omitting the non-functioning color altogether. My options now are either paying the full price for a head replacement or selling the printer for parts, at a great loss in both cases. The printer is still in warranty, but the guys at Epson won't replace the printhead as part of it, as I'd been using 3rd party ink with it. I then contacted the local Epson dealer, and the technician said it's probably a head problem and it would need a replacement head. I tried every method listed on the web for cleaning with no success. By omitting the light colors, the printer will use less ink to produce the same picture and thus it will reduce the overall ink usage.I had been using an Epson 4900 for a couple of months, when one of the colors (the Light Vivid Magenta) suddenly stopped outputting ink (nozzle checks are completely missing the VLM part except for 2 or 3 random nozzles). Actually the R2000 does NOT have light colors and still can produce nice shades of the lighter colors. The variable droplet technology of Epson printhead omits the need of using light/photo colors. ![]() The advantages of this setup is Obvious: combining the nice gloss and vivid colors of the R2000 with the neutral ABW mode of the R3000 and having both blacks (matte and photo) loaded at the same time. Ink channel 8: orange-red (tone between orange and red) Ink channel 4: medium gray (tone between Light black and Light Light Black) The reason is that I want to change the ink configuration to make a cross-breed R2000 x R3000 with the following ink configuration: I am not sure someone can help me: I have read there are free RIP software (Gutenberg/GutenRIP) available to drive my Epson R3000. ![]()
