I also found a couple of used low mileage Colorado 1650 and a 1630 at a very good price, cheaper than the epson but the service contracts on the used machines would likely make it far more expensive in the long run.

I'll wait on grimco/epson to come put it together since I'm not in a rush anymore

Not the most exciting unplanned purchase but had to be done

Have Epson print you a sample of your file and have them tell you how much ink was used. Compare than to your latex.

Thanks I'll keep you in mind

The older rolands are faster than the new ones, there is nothing you can do to make the VG3 as fast as the Xr640

Canon will do some preventative maintenance next week too on the machine, replace pulley bearings and belts, those are getting pretty worn out.

I wish, I'm not sure there is a way to buy the parts. I'll check but doubt it. I have a short parts list of consumables but other than that I'm not sure if canon would sell any other parts

No never heard of that, will look into it

Colorado is hard to beat for wallpaper, always consistent colors and panel size. Reprints months later match perfectly

You don't even have to take any covers off to replace those cables. Error: power too low on printhead carriage Possible bad parts identified on day one: power supply, switch board, couple of other PCBs, printhead ribbon cables, carriage pcb, printhead Everything listed above except for the...

Absolutely, its a 1hr job max to change those cables, they are in a very accessible place.

The printer is fixed finally, 13 days down for .........................., BIG REVEAL: worn out printhead ribbon cables. The printhead ribbon cables were identified as a possible issue on day 1 but were only replaced after everything else in the chain was replaced, some parts were replaced...

Are these OEM inks or different brand inks?

I'm caught up but only because I extended my delivery times, sales -75% last 13 days. Algorithms and customers don't like the long delivery times during this peak season for my products. Worst 2 weeks sales wise in 13 years + in business. Can't sell what you can't print. Never crossed my mind...

The R5070L I bought has user replaceable head plus I bought a service manual in case the 2 year warranty doesn't deliver knowledgeable techs

You can't do anything on the colorado without service key. Nothing to learn without the key. Can't even find out what the error codes mean

What do you mean you think? Do the inks say Eco-Sol Max 2 or Eco-Sol Max 3 on them?

My service experiences have been great too up until this point. Canon is getting close to fixing the printer, I'm hoping Monday it will be printing again. This might end up being a very simple/common problem that happens in any brand printer One option I'll explore is getting the self service...

I did buy an Epson R5070L which will be delivered next week, I'm not sure what will happen with the Colorado but I'll have at least 2+ printers from now on.
