Epson 820/830 left for two weeks no printing
Hello, I just want to add my own experience with my new Epson 830. I
haven't printed for two weeks on this printer as I've been printing tons black text on the laser instead. Last night, I started the printer to test for clogging and also to print a party group photo. First, as usual, the printer went through a head cleaning run when the print job was sent. I noticed a few streaks of banding which indicates clogging in the ink head nozzle check. I ran this again and the next one was slightly better. So I printed two small test prints and they were fine. Lastly, I printed a fullsize borderless A4 party group photo and it came out in 7 minutes, perfect and not the slightets banding visible. I think all the printing before cleared up the nozzles that may have clogged. But this means that this Epson really must be used regularly, and this experience shows me that I can probably only go a max of 1 or 2 weeks before it clogs up badly. I had pushed the ink head to the side BTW, and unplugged the printer two weeks ago. If it weren't because of this printer's very affordable price and 6 colors, I would have bought a Canon i850 instead. But this Epson just offers the best photo quality in its price range, simply gorgeous! |
