Re: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
i wore out my 1270. carriage rail started rubbing and eventually seized after 3 years. i have a 1280 now and am holding off for a 4000 so that i can do true 16x20 prints. the high end Epsons are very reliable for ink handling.

Re: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
The Epson design is sometimes a problem because of the print head nozzle design. They clog when dry. Epson does recommend a small amount of warm water to clear them. (At least they did with my old Stylus Color 400, almost as old as the Stylus Photo.) If one's household humidity level gets too low in the winter months and printing is seldom, they can clog regularly. It's a problem. Sincerely, C.

Re: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
Jens sorry to hear of your problems with the Stylus Photo. I've had one since around 97 and have done thousands of prints with it and it still keeps chugging along. Paid around $300 USD for it, a complete ink change runs me about $35 USD. One thing I learned along the way was to always shut it off using the on/off switch - never simple unplug or switch off power to it.

Re: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
I have to put my 2 cents worth in praise of Epson's printers. Until recently I was using an 880 that I bought a couple years ago for less than 100USD. It's held up admirably for both text and photos with just a little cleaning maintenance and is still running off a print server as a network printer. When I saw the quality of the new R800 I was forced (enabled) to buy one. I'm convinced that unless you need (desire) a wide carriage for prints larger than 8.5 wide you won't find another make and model that will do a better job printing photos. -P - Original Message - From: Kenneth Waller [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 6:54 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo) Jens sorry to hear of your problems with the Stylus Photo.

Re: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
Hello Paul, Since so many are piping up for Epson, I guess I better add to the naysayers. I have had Canons, Epsons and HPs for photo quality printing. I owned three different Epsons. What I will say positive about them is that the expensive ones seem to do quite well. My first was fairly expensive. It still may be running with the present owner. My next two were the cheap ones - those are not worth buying. Even with consistent reasonable use, I had head clogs galore - on both of them. So I would say that if you are willing to pay at least $300 for the printer, Epsons are very good, but their cheaper stuff is junk in my book. My Canon experience was pretty good overall and my HP experience has been similar. I currently have an HP 7960 and frankly can't tell the difference in output quality between it and the various Epsons that I have seen. I do believe that the design of both Canon and HP allowing easy user replacement of the heads is way better for the user. The Epson way is a good way to piss off customers and make some upfront money on service and replacement of the printers. Ultimately they lost me as a customer. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, December 2, 2004, 6:47:58 PM, you wrote: PS I have to put my 2 cents worth in praise of Epson's printers.

Plus it can be used in 4-ink mode as a fallback, although I don't use it that way (it's sole purpose is as a photo printer to replace my venerable HP PhotoSmart - a contemporary of that old Epson Stylus Photo). I've just discovered it can produce long prints - up to 13 x 50 (limited, I suppose, by ink cartridge capacity?). I need to get some roll paper to try; that would let me print up some large panoramas in just two pieces.

Press the load/eject button for about 3 seconds until the print head starts moving to the left and the power light begins flashing. Do whatever changes you want to make with the ink cartridges Press the load/eject again until the print head begins to move back to the right. The power light will begin flashing again and the printer will go through the ink charging process. When it's done, your set to go. -P - Original Message - From: Jens Bladt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 10:00 AM Subject: RE: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo) ...It's Epson Stylus Photo - the exact and full name.

To replace a cartridge when you do not have a low ink light flashing, you move the print head to the cartridge replacement position by pressing and holding the load/eject button for about 3 seconds. Yeah, that's how my Stylus Color works. I wonder if what he's talking about is the fact that the printer uses the reload to reset the page counter. Before Epson put chips into their printers, this was how it worked. Basically, what will happen is that when you put your black cartridge back in, the counter will be reset the counter back to 0, and will start counting from there. When it thinks the cartridge is empty, based on your use, it will tell you via the flashing light. However, because you are refilling with a partially empty cartridge, you will run out first. This may cause problems with the print head, thus clogging it and destroying the printer... If this is how it works, then it would be ok, I guess, to put the old cart back in, only be very careful, and watch for the cart to empty, and swap it out before you stand a chance of ruining your print heads. -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With the older printers if you put in a partially used cart it will work but the iink monitor will read full so you got to be pretty carefull abt running empty. that can ruin a printhead, for the price of a cartrige it may not worth the risk.

RE: Fw: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
Epson Stylus Photo, that's all. No other names or numbers. It's so old, it's not on the support list anymore. The newest driver is for Windows 98. Even when it was new, some retailers didn't know about it. It was actually the top model at one stage. I admit to not having used it much. When I got it, photo realistic paper was app. 1,25 USD for every A4 sheet. One set of ink cartrigdes was almost 100 USD. So, most of the time it was just sitting on the desk and occasionally used for BW prints. A shame, really. Now it's useless. It represents the worst 700 USD I ever spent. This money would have been better spent on a one week holiday in Greece! Or a used MZ-S with a battery grip! Or ... Maybe I will consider getting a Canon.

Re: Epson Printer (Sylus Photo)
I used to have an Epson Stylus Photo EX, which was the wide-carriage version of the Stylus Photo. I never had any problems pulling an ink cartridge out of it and putting it back, especially since it used the dumb cartridges (the ones without a chip). I eventually sent it back to Epson Recycling and got a $5 coupon from Epson for my efforts. --jc On Dec 1, 2004, at 10:19 PM, Jens Bladt wrote: Epson Stylus Photo, that's all.
