What's your nozzle test look like? I have brought many Epson printers back with just repeated head cleanings. Most of the Epsons have a power or ultrasonic head cleaning hidden in the menu.
When laminating with pressure sensitive films I always laminate with out kraft paper. Event if the lam is 1/2 wider than the print media. Never had an issue with this causing problems. Saw more problems using kraft paper than I did not using it.
I have used Epson aqueos printers for over 10 years. Yes, Epson papers and other media are great, but super expensive. There are many great third party medias available. They don't damage the printer so try them and use what you like. Plus Epson has this backlit,
Epson DisplayTrans...
There is backlit available that will work in your Epson. It will produce some of the finest backlits you'll see. http://www.lexjet.com/p-2338-kodak-universal-backlit-film-8-mil.aspx
I use our laminator in the same way to mount a print. I guess for the smaller laminators you may not be able to, but I've had some nice laminators to use and I can mount it the same exact way.
You don't need to thread a laminator to mount a print! And if you happen to have a whole roll of prints for mounting I've then threaded the laminator and mounted board after board. Just saying I don't see the $ benefit.
Not trying to be rude here, but I can mount full boards alone on a laminator in about 3 minutes as welll. I'm sure these machines do a nice job, but don't see the benefit for the dollar!
There are coated vinyls you can print on. It's more expensive than solvent, and less durable outside, but they are available. As far as backlits go you can print some the the best quality back lit graphics available with that printer and inks.
I owned a Daige once for about an hour before I called for a return. You get what you pay for. If laminating most of what you print, spend some money to
get a good one.
