  1. Hi I am having troubling uploading tif files to the company that makes my prints. Average size is 30Mb. He has said that my internet connection is too slow. Checking I have 5.5Mbs down and 3Mbs up. On a search it appears that 3Mbs is not bad at all some people have less than 1Mbs. My daughter has 20MBs down and 0.8Mbs up!
  2. <p>Thanks Colin your suggestion worked, I now have my printer back in operation. After I had cleaned the roller the first sheet of paper that went through the printer had a dirty imprint where the roller had picked it up. I don't have the rear paper sheet attachment but have found one on eBay UK. Thanks once again Colin.</p>
  3. <p>Thanks Colin, that's a relief. I'll try your suggestion for cleaning the pickup rubber although it does look clean.</p>
  4. <p>Hi<br> I have an Epson R2400 printer bought in 2006. Due to lack of space I didn't get to use it till 2015. I am unable to use the printer as it won't load paper. Previously, it had printed less than 30 A3 prints and they were superb. Now, I am reduced to loading paper via the front, the printer will handle normal thickness paper and it should not affect quality, but the quality is poor.<br> So, as I have posted "paper feed problem and more" what has gone wrong? I have been in contact with Epson and they have advised me but the printer still will not load paper normally, they didn't ask me whether it load paper via the front or the back.<br> Since the printer does record the number of prints Epson could confirm that my £500 spent on the printer has resulted in less than 40 A3 prints being made, it has of course been used to print A4 text and I do not know how much that would be. The printer is out of warranty as although I bought it in 2006 and didn't use it till 2015 the product is hardly value for money.<br> OK, maybe there is some deterioration due to the printer not being used and I mean not being used, no cartridges were even fitted. I could find dates when I bought new cartridges from Amazon and possible confirm the date when I bought a set of cartridges from an eBay seller but so what Epson do not have to make an exception in my case. At the very least can the printer be repaired? And how much will that cost?<br> Should the product deteriorate due to it not being put into use? Other users have had Epson printers and have had years of use, so I have been unlucky. Well, it looks like I will not be spending any more money on Epson products.<br> At present, although I can feed normal thickness of paper from the front the quality is poor. Why is this? Should the paper be thicker?</p> <p>Looking at other manufacturers' products and users commentsI am not keen to spend more money on a replacement A3 printer. I will probably end up buying an A4 printer and getting my archival quality prints from a fine art printer.<br> In the mean time, can anyone help to advise me on adjusting the paper pick up issue and the loss of quality when using the front option to load paper?</p>
  5. <p>Hi<br> I have a Mamiya 67 and because of the costs of taking a photo I am considering replacing the camera with a digital equivalent. Is there one? <br> My trouble is that I may encounter a situation where I may need high quality 67 or 54 and my film is still too cold to load and wasted if not used. Ideally a digital camera could replace my film camera but how much would it cost?</p>
