check with the epson dealer or fujifilm dealer. Epson is notorious for batches of crappy ink. They usually correct this with a new ink, with something like new formulation, improved formulation etc on the package. Reason why take this up with the dealer is that it will eventually permanently...

lol, today I got the same issue on black. :) i hope it is just the damper and not a cracked head.

i did not say that. I said it all depends what applications you are running. I'm sorry, but in the solvent market, margins always beat quality. Because applications are different than in the aqueos market. Nonetheless, if you manage to get access to "special projects" of course the 80600 will...

yes, talk to the dealer or reseller, and tell them to be honest on strength and weakness. Epson Surecolors are great machines but they have to fit YOUR REAL NEEDS. Example : If you have customers with environmental requirements concerning mild solvent, Epson will give you most of the...

Hey there, We have been using sc30610 OEM cartridges and ink in a an SC30600 machine. Basically same machine same ink same cartridge only different chip. Also, 80$ per cartridge. Webought arc chips and just repluged those on the new cartridge. We used them without issues for 2 years, and all...

Check initially if it's not a thin hair or cloth stucked on the head. You could get this when printing lot's of canvas or banner. The edges of the material are your biggest enemies. Check with a lighter when doing a head maintenance. Initially, It's easier than to go around changing parts...

Hey there, I don't know if this is of interest, but indeed it is the cyan ink with the issue. On the "improved" cyan it said new formulation so dealers know exactly what they are selling :) . In my case, Cyan 2 has a lot of missing nozzles. The circumstances of the situation were that I wasn...

Hello, I've had this problem today. I checked for "residue" on the head and nothing. Cleaned it both manually and from the screen. I have already some clogged nozzle on CYAN because of the bad batch of CYAN from EPSON. Interestingly enough a friend of mine had the same issues, he was left...

Since I use EFI XF, I have just 4 printing modes, I can't really choose printing passes. I just have printing resolution which implies standard number of passes. Regarding printing in 4 passes, which in my case is 720x720, I must admit the print actually looks very close to the customer...

Hey there! As it seems we have the same problem. The picture I uploaded was in high speed mode. It depends on what RIP you print, I do it in EFI, and only have 4 printing modes: 720 720 high speed 720 720 production 720 1440 production 720 1440 high quality IThe photo itself was done...

The shift in color is actually perpendicular to the pinch rollers movement, and parralel to the head movement. If I understand correctly what you say, the banding should be in the feed direction, correct ? If this is so, it would probably be paper contamination by the pinchrollers. It's...

thank you for your response. If you look closely, you will also see uneven color on both the red and the black. Media adjustment was done, also using the service software from epson, and still the same result. The funny thing is that if you measure 1.5m of print at the end, it is exactly...

Hello, We have an Epson SC30600, with a EFI RIP. 1. We have an issue with banding, especially in 720x720 high speed and 720 x 720 production. This is how the print turns out. I have created length adjustment etc, and still same result. Anyone seen this ?

hey there, congratulations on getting your machine. As a past GS6000 user, please tell me the difference in print quality between the two ? I just found some print samples on the GS, and comparing them to our sc30600, i see less granulated prints on the new machine. Also, it would be...

I didn't make myself understood, sorry. We print CAD on CAD machines, we now took the epson to try signage, especially for our CAD customers. For 10000/month we would need at least 2-3 70670, altough I am sure that with a good banner material, you could print 10000 a month on a 30670.

Hello there. I know there are a lot of reviews and threads for this machine, I can tell you mine. We got delivery of this machine in August 2012, as a step into signage market. We are doing lots of large wide format prints, mostly CAD. This is our market, and we print around 100.000...

Can you explain more about the oversized media guide ? I am a bit worried about the head rubbing on them. At the same time I could raise the head very high, as banner printing doesn't require sharpness.

Our banner is 440gsm, actually not that thick, was just thinking of printing with the holders, but at the same time epson recommends printing without them when printing banner. Maybe they refer to blokout. I could print with a crazy high print head, and metal plates, and before that trying...

thanks for your replies. Is it just me or could a material have too many fibers ? I did the lighter trick, but even if I print an A1, after printing the head is filled with fibers. Are there materials without fibers ? Is PP banner like that ?

Hello, We use a banner material, frontlit flex I think with very good results color wise and quality. Unfortunatelly the work printing on it is exhausting. Because of the microfibers coming out of the edges, we constantly have fibers stuck to our head. This results in extensive...
