  1. Profiles for Epson 40600 and Wallpaper

    Hi all We are printing textured wallpaper on our Epson 40610 but the colour quality is poor (washed out). Is this normal with all wallpapers on all printers — is wallpaper expected to print worse than paper/vinyl, etc.? We have tried a few profiles but .emx files for the Epson and this...
  2. Moving from Roland VG2-640 to Epson S80600

    The 60600 uses 2 heads to print CMYK only, so it's a lot faster than the 80600 which uses 2 heads to print CMYK and Lc, Lm, Lk, R and either white or Metallic. 40600 215sqft/h CMYK (1 print head) 60600 550 sqft/h CMYK (2 print heads) 80600 340 sqft/h CMYK Lc Lm Lk R and white or Metallic (2...
  3. Epson S80600 Bulk Ink Waste

    I wouldn't try that. As soon as the ink comes in contact with air it starts to thicken. Plus, you may introduce dust, etc which could block nozzles.
  4. 700W color tests - Everything is opposite!

    I'm looking at a latex printer (not HP). Are these general characteristics of latex?
  5. Question Epson S40600 - Changed Printhead now getting Power Cable Error

    The solution to this is to replace both power boards AT THE SAME TIME. It took Epson 11 weeks to puzzle out our printer. The repair is clearly stated in the manual — and it's clear that both boards must be replaced at the same time.
  6. Epson 40600 : how to download the NVRAM file

    Hi All, I'm having a dispute with the agency that repairs our Epson 40610. So I need to download the NVRAM file and check the head shot count (the agency refuse to do it for us). Does anyone have the program to do it? Or advice? Many thanks, Stephen

    I am open to correction. But it seems like Onyx does not support this particular printer model. There are other RIPs for it including one made by Epson. It's a new resin model — so it's possible that Onyx support it in future.
  8. Epson 80600 Light magenta nozzle clogged on Head 1

    That's how a head failure looks. Perfect — then a blocked nozzle — then 2 or 3 — then more (especially if the same nozzles remain blocked). And you think it can't be the head — you hope it's not the head. You look for other solutions — you find people who say it isn't the head. You are hopeful...
  9. Question Epson 40600 problem and help required : Power Cable Error

    So they replaced all 4 parts as mentioned above. Still has the same error. Any idea what Epson (or any other manufacturer's) obligation is to fix a printer? What do they do if they can't fix it?
  10. Anybody use Mac?

    We use Mac only. Except for the RIP to run our Epson 40600 — it has the Windows OS and the RIP software on it — nothing else. We almost never have computer related issues.
  11. Anybody use Mac?

    We have M1s and Intel and the M1s work as well (or better than) the Intels. My advice is to get someone to look at the M1 — it should work perfectly on the network and when saving large files — or at the very least, reformat and reinstall the software — that should fix any issues. You have to go...
  12. Established sticker business looking to stop outsourcing

    We used to run an Espon GS6000. The prints were amazingly sharp — but then it became obsolete (inks became too expensive and parts were impossible to find) so we replaced it with an Epson 40600. Now the Epson 40600 is faster and the prints are very good (smoother) — but fine text and fine detail...
  13. Epson 80600 Light magenta nozzle clogged on Head 1

    In my experience, the head is starting to go. Which means a head replacement. How old is the printer? We have a 40600 and we are about to install our 4th print head in 5 years — which is really bad — but South Africa's crap electricity supply is probably partially to blame as the printer only...
  14. Question Epson 40600 problem and help required : Power Cable Error

    That would be one for the books ;o) It has two power cables and they both run from a power supply regulator (South Africa has fluctuating power problems and daily power failures thanks to the failure of the useless and corrupt government). We've swapped the cables, run them directly from the...
  15. Question Epson 40600 problem and help required : Power Cable Error

    It's not an important post for the general user — but I would like to clarify that while I am not a fan of PartServe's service — the technician is a great guy. He is very careful and meticulous. If he wasn't I wouldn't let him near the machine. ;o)
  16. Question Epson 40600 problem and help required : Power Cable Error

    Thank you very much. I will pass this on. I suspect they will still try and replace all the parts again — they are looking to send me a nice hefty bill.
  17. Question Epson 40600 problem and help required : Power Cable Error

    Hi All, I have an Epson 40600 and it is giving the following error: Power Cable Error - Plug in #2 power cable. Turn power off and on again Epson tech guy has changed (which are all the parts recommended by the service manual): - 2174251 - EPSON SC40610 BOARD ASSY MAIN - 2188981 - EPSON...
  18. Question Epson S40600 - Changed Printhead now getting Power Cable Error

    Does anyone have a solution for this Power Cable issue? I'm having the same hassle on my 40610. Tech has changed the following (one at a time and all at once) : 2174251 - EPSON SC40610 BOARD ASSY MAIN 2188981 - EPSON SC-T3200PS POWER SUPPLY FA06171 - EP SC-S30600 LFP PRINT HEAD No fix.

  19. EPSON GS6000 : Can you tell if the Valve Assembly or Print Head is defective ?

    I have an Epson GS6000. Twice now I have had a black channel drop out on me. The previous time was a year ago and it came down to dirty (or whatever) black ink. We had to change the subtank and the head twice to get it back in action. The head had only done 67% of its expected lifespan. Now I...
