From: James Ce To: Karyna Shuliak Subject: Re: Printer issues Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2017 19:36:53 +0000 I'll ask, but photo printers pretty much have to use liquid ink (document printers can use dry toner but don't get smooth gradients needed for photos), which requires frequent maintenance (the ink dries out and clogs if left too long).

So perhaps something, that requires less maintenance with less frequent use would be a better option. On Oct 21, 2017, at 2:58 PM, james I personal genius < > wrote: Great. That's what I thought, but I wanted to confirm to make sure I'm asking for the correct thing.

I can not say what would be the largest size, somewhere within the size range of the current 3800 is fine, so that I don't have to use the large printer for this type of photographs. Thank you!

What is the largest size you normally print on the 3800?

He said we should get a new one. Is there a particular model that you would recommend?

The Epson 3800 was -41000 when it was discontinued in 2011, and its replacement (the 3880) was just replaced itself. It looks like Epson has its SureColor P400 ($600) & P600 ($800) in its place now. The company Ron references, AI Friedman (they're down in Chelsea/ West 20s), is one I've worked with a lot in the past & they've always given me great advice. If you'd like me to reach out to Lenny ( ), I'd be happy to see what he recommends. Otherwise, Adorama & B&H both will have these "Epson Professional Imaging Wide Format" printers locally. Sony I don't have better news. EFTA00569106 James When a 3800 starts dropping in on the page it is usually the result of the ink selector failing. This is an expensive repair costing $349 plus tax.. My suggestion is to tell the customer to replace the unit with a new Epson printer, model based on their requirements. A.I. Friedman sell the full line of Epson professional grade units. Lenny Weiland is a salesman there that I work closely with. He can certainly fit them with the correct machine. Please keep me in mind for any future Epson repair needs that your customers may have.

Let me reach out to the Epson tech and see what he'd charge. (That machine is —$1200 new, so I don't want to commit to a repair bill that is going to be more than just buying a replacement.)

Yes, it is the smaller one. The is a lot of black in smear and misalignment. I changed all the expired ink cartridges, tried power cleaning option twice, but no improvement...

Regular maintenance does not seem to help, I think I need someone experienced to look at it. Would that be a part of your expertise? if not, might you be able to recommend someone please?
