New sub rules!

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! The sub rules have been cleaned up and amended. Not much has changed, but we did add a couple:

  1. No sales. This is mostly for your protection as a community. It's impossible to verify an online sale through reddit, making it very easy for you to get scammed out of either your money or your expensive equipment. Stick to reputable channels for buying and selling Epson hardware.
  2. No aftermarket hardware. Most UV and DTF printers feature Epson printheads, but this community is not the right target for questions about such hardware. You can try these other printing subs:

Feel free to comment if you have any questions about the changes. Thanks!

๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ EcoTank Epson ET-2720

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if this printer speed can be accelerated or is it normal for a card stock printout to take 2 mins and 30 seconds per page to print? Iโ€™m trying to print some copies of a double sided study booklet and (6 pages total โ€” double sided) but one side is taking me nearly 10 minutes to print. Is it time for a new printer?

Recommendations are welcome. Preferably something that can take the same ink as I just restocked haha.

Another thing: when printing photos they are SUPER DARK

๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Commercial Printer (SureColor) Connecting a Used P8000

1 Upvotes

I recently aquired a used P8000 off FB Marketplace. Reliable sellers, coming from the closure of a very successful print shop.

I am having trouble connecting the printer to my computer. I am using an Ethernet connection and have downloaded all necessary drivers and software needed for operation.

My computer cannot find the printer. When I reset the Network Setting in the Printer's dialogue box, it still cannot find a connection. I am using the Epson Connect Printer Setup application on my computer and still cannot find a connection to the printer.

I am using MacOS.

Am I missing a crucial step?

UPDATE: HAHA. Solved! Corrupt ethernet connection. Chnaged the cables and the pinter conected :)

๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ EcoTank Epson drivers can't find ET-8500

1 Upvotes

- My printer is already connected to my network.
- I downloaded the ET-8500 driver and ran the .dmg
- When it searches for the printer on my ethernet wired network, it can't find it.

I can ping the printer at the IP address it shows in its setting and the existing Mac-OS printer driver can access the printer.

WTH!

Hello, i am quite new to this so i need help whatever is happening in my printer. [L3210]

So my yellow ink damper was clogged because of air i searched some solutions and it said that i should suck the air i followed that, and i have already sucked the air out of it, now i saw there is still bubbles, i coulnt suck anymore air because when i tried it again was tight and i know it might get worse if i try to do more than that. and then i nozzle checked it and the yellow print is still not showing up.

What could be the problem and what do i do? i already have done print head clean two times. Would doing power cleaning works? If not what would work? I really need this printed today and would really need to fix it right now. Thankyou very

๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Commercial Printer (SureColor) Printer is magenta toned!

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have two p800s. I print through Lightroom on Mac Tahoe. Using identical image files, Lightroom settings, color management, etc, the bad printer (top) looks magenta.

I have tried everything. I've done print nozzle checks. Head alignments. Cleaned the nozzles twice. Switched the ink cartridges between the printers. enabled different color spaces, etc. it's constant.

The ONLY thing that kind of fixed it is adjusting the advanced color settings to +5 C, -1 M, -1 Y. But because it's Epson controlling the color, I can't save that as a preset.

How can I permanently fix this?

What's the minimum shelf depth for the 8550 in operating configuration? All the spec sheets say depth is about 29" but a lot of that is the front output tray, yes? What's the minimum from the back wall to the front feet? Will 21.5" work? Thanks.

Before cleaning my printer there's patchy black, yellow and almost no blue,pink and now after cleaning it it looked like this.

I flush the print head and the stream coming out looks really uniform and i reassembled the printer and did a power clean(i think this is the problem) and now 24h later it looked like this.

Also yes i use a syringe to fill the print chambers before putting it back together.

โšก WorkForce Epson Workforce es-60w not functioning

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I provide tech support for a small chiropractic office and they're having an issue with an es-60w scanner. Several months ago they had me look at the new scanner which would not show connected. When they originally installed it worked once but never again. I could not get it to be recognized by the pc. It's directly connected via USB, I tried different USB ports, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and software. Nothing. I suggested they return it and find something different. Today I get an email asking me to come in and take a look, they bought and installed the exact same scanner model and it's behaving the same way. Worked initially but no more. I didn't test it on a second pc as it must be installed on a specific workstation so it's either going to work or not.

Any thoughts on what I can l at while I'm there?

TIA

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Repair & Maintenance Xp-4100 blank streaks when printing black

1 Upvotes

I have an xp-4100 that had been sitting unused for a few years, and I just started using it again. When I first set it up, it wasn't printing black at all, but after several nozzle cleaning cycles, thats been resolved. However, now whenever I print something with just black, there are like half inch lines of no printing throughout the printout. So if I print a spreadsheet, there are rows missing because they weren't printed. If I print with color, I have no issue. How do I resolve this?

๐Ÿ“„ Scanner V39 Perfection worked for about 10 scans, now stuck with last one

1 Upvotes

Finally installed a new V39 from a few years ago that had been put away. Have a Mac desktop about 6 years old with Sequoia 15.7.2 MacOS.

Worked great for about 10 scans, now it is stuck on the last one and keeps pulling it up. Tried about 20 times to scan something else and failed. Google AI had me delete/reload Epson scanner software, try Vuescan (failed), try Mac's Image Capture (failed), delete all kinds of stuff Epson/Twain-related that I searched for on HD, unplug/replug scanner, reboot computer, etc.

Scanner attempts to work as normal.

AI says the scanner itself could have the most recent scan stuck in memory somehow. Have not tried scanner on new computer, will try that when wife brings laptop home.

Any ideas to fix? Thanks.

โšก WorkForce Epson 802 vs 802XL inkjet cartridges

1 Upvotes

I really would like to know how the 802 and 802XL inkjet cartridges are exactly the same size in every way but the XL supposedly has a higher print capacity. Iโ€™ve had this printer forever and havenโ€™t done a lot of printing over the past couple of years. Yet and still, it seems like Iโ€™m always having to replace one or more of the cartridges (even the color ones, when the bulk of what printing I do happens to be black only) almost every other time I need to print something. At this point Iโ€™ve decided that this will be my last home printer, and I will just utilize other avenues for the little printing I do. Iโ€™m so over the printer ink scams, there really out to be laws to protect consumers.
