Amazing Printer! - I have owned this printer for a week now and all i can say is that it is truly amazing, i am an architecture student so i use this all the time for plotting off CAD and printing tiled illustrator layouts, you can print on A3+ paper and i get no banding or poor print head alignment as the review below suggests. The only problem that i can see with this printer is that the ink cartridges are too small at only 11ml, my canon A4 printer has 13ml! apart from that this printer is top notch and i will always use epson for A3 as i have previously used R1800 and 1290 and they have all served for many years before needing to be replaced! All my course mates are dying to get their hands on an A3 printer now and i will definately be reccomending this one!
Rubbish printer - I am a freelance Graphic Designer in the Film and TV industry and the work has to be produced instantaneously and often with very little preperation - I normally use my Epson 1290 which has done me proud for years - but unforunately died on me at the beginning of this contract (mainly because I had to reinstall the driver software from the Epson website - which turned out to not work properly - as just a gimp driver- this doesn t seems to give as many options/ work as well as the old driver that used to be available) - so I had to quickly get my hands on a decent printer and at an average price of £350 pounds you would have thought this printer would be reliable and deliver what you need on demand - but unfortunatly it has disappointed on many levels - give me back my old 1290 any day. Basically my advice would be - don t touch this printer with a barge-pole. It is seriously bad - the driver software doesn t include an A3+ sheet feeder option on my version (whether that is accross the board or not - the Epson customer services won t help. The printer often prints badly with bands on the prints after printing a few pages. Also the alignment goes off centre by at least half an inch when doing lots of photographic quality prints at a time. It drinks ink and the cartridges are nigh on impossible to get hold of at a local level on an immediate basis (even Epson often don t have them in stock), just for the record I ve always bought epson products i.e printers/scanners and have always used epson inks and papers in all my equipment. I will not buy another Epson product after this experience.
only use epson products - only use epson products or your guarantee is invalid that includes paper,cartridges, keep a log of when you install cartridges they will want to know this as well in other words they do not want to know about your guarantee
