(in article ): My P600 died and I have a lot of new 760 ink That seems to be premature. What happened? If anyone wants it let me know. Will sell cheap. My R2880 still breathes, but does not feed on P600 carts. -- Regards, Savageduck |

My R2880 still breathes, but does not feed on P600 carts. I found a place on-line that will buy them, waiting for a quote. Our P600 was clogging all the time. Though I am good with computer repair work I don't fool with printers much so took it to a place that said they could entirely flush it out and make it good as new. That was two months ago and I called them frequently for the first two weeks and they said they were " still trying." Finally I bought a Canon Pro-10 and my wife loves it. She had an important project and just could not dink around. Nice thing with the Canon is if the heads ever would go, they are user replaceable. No more Epson for us I'm afraid. |

I have Canon Pro 9000 and Pro 100 printers. They both sat unused for a very long time - well over a year. I printed some test prints the other day, and they were both fine. I was shocked, but it says something good about Canon printers.That's not to say anything bad about Epson, though. I have no experience with them. BTW, Canon says to print something at least once a month. |

Our P600 was clogging all the time. That is odd with the newer Epson inks and cart. My high end photo printer is an R2880 which is several model years older than your P600, and I have yet to experience a clog. The same is true for my general use printer/scanner, an Epson XP-610 which is about 5 years old now, and has yet to fail me.

My experience was the complete opposite. I spent almost $800 for a Canon i9900 which had rave reviews. However, it was constantly plagued with clogged carts. Most importantly I could never get consistent color print results especially when it came to having serious blue color cast in shadows which was uncorrectable, even when using correct icc profiles. I gave up and bought my R2880, and all my color print problems were solved. I probably should have bought the Epson R3880, but at the time I did not care to risk the extra $400. The Canon i9900 prints were just not in anyway acceptable, and nothing I tried fixed them. I swore off Canon printers since that experience as producing quality prints with my R2880 has been effortless. I see no reason to risk that frustration again. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Though my wife could clear it, it took many attempts and a lot of ink. |

Our older Epson printers were great...they lasted many many years trouble free. At the time Epson was a much better name than Canon but according to my friends who do this professionally...Canon is currently better. |

Though my wife could clear it, it took many attempts and a lot of ink. I have had one hell of a year and hardly got to use my Epson P800. It certainly sat for months without being used. In view of your past experiences I ran a comprehensive test on the print nozzles and all are still OK. I don't know what happened to your P600 to cause it to have so many problems. It's not typical in my experience. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
