    Epson Surecolor P proofer vs HPz9 printer for print proofs

    Epson has a One-time repair program for the 7900 for $995.00: Epson One-Time Service Plan - you can get a new print head, capping station, etc. for a very good price. It might be worth looking at - and you won't need a new RIP, Spectro, etc.

    A single stubborn clogged green nozzle on Epson P9000

    If the nozzle checks show the same missing nozzles or if there is any vertical defelection, it's probably a bad print head. Epson has a One-time repair for the P9000 for $1395.00 (get a print head and capping station and maybe new dampers). We've had customers use the P8000 driver, which...

    Films for screen printing.

    An Epson T3270sr printer is excellent for screen printing - 24 inches wide, excellent film density with Epson Photo Black ink, Epson has great screen positive film, and works well with the Cadlink Filmmaker RIP. You can get clear ink for the other channels if you are only using it for film...

    Wide format RIP suggestions for home use?

    Just use the Epson driver and not a RIP. If you use Epson paper, or a paper where profiles are available for your printer, you'll get good color with RGB files. Print shops use RIPs for color accurate proofing, for Giclee printing, art posters, etc. RIPs are pretty uncommon. Tony

    Print head alignment and banding of light Cyan on P9000

    I would guess that the print head was damaged - the nozzles have been deflected by some type of crash - paper gap too tight, a tear in the paper, etc. The Epson 1 time repair program - for 1395.00 in the US - will cover a print head replacement (and you should push for a new capping station...

    Replacing a ILS20 spectro on a Epson 9900

    We replaced two SpectroProofer heads with the ILS30EP heads (Epson part number C12C932021) - one head stayed on a 9900 and the other went on a SureColor P9000 (with the SpectroProofer assembly coming from a 9900. Our customer is using an EFI Fiery XF 6.4 RIP. Everything works well, but the RIP...

    Wall Paper

It might be easier working with this stuff rather than trying...

    Comparable proofing paper to GMG semiMatte 250

    Epson has a new proofing paper that has "targeted" OBA content - a 44 inch x 100 foot roll is their part number S450201 and it sells for about $150.00, which seems to be substantially less than the GMG stuff. Maybe getting a small roll and trying it might be a good idea (a 17 inch roll is about...

    Question: Solution 4 accessing client files from 2 locations

    Another option would be a Synology Disk Station - like the one at this link. It will work at full speed on the local network that it is attached to - and should be faster than an external hard drive. You can also configure it so that it can be accessed remotely at your other location - and its...

    Prepress advice needed

    There are some new inkjet direct-to-plate systems - DAA International has a few different systems starting at 13 inch wide inkjets with a RIP and polyester plates that will do up to a 150 line screen - at this link. And, Presstek and MarkAndy have reasonably priced JT inkjet plate systems that...

    RIP suggestions for screen printing

    The best RIP for screen printing is the Wasatch RIP. It will do everything that you mention (but I'm not sure about the multipage PDF's - it will do variable data, so it might handle these). If you use Kimoto, Acorn (DAAInternational.com) or some other waterproof film, you'll get good black...
