Old printer breathes its last?
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2022 3:52 pm
I do not print much but I do run off a couple of 11x14 images on my very old (but up until now very serviceable) Epson Stylus Photo R1800
every two weeks or so to minimize the likelihood of clogging. Now, however, I seem to have hit a roadblock. My print pattern on testing showed an absence of Photo Black and my image looks totally washed out (see attachments). I ran through multiple cleanings and replaced the Photo Black with a new cartridge but no go. I swabbed the head with alcohol also. Unless someone here has a fix for me I will probably junk it. In that scenario does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced equivalent printer that will handle up to 13x19 sheets (I generally use Epson semigloss). All assistance appreciated.
