  1. I'm also am not getting all my emails forwarded. I have lost many important emails due to this. Also, even when an email has been delivered, the sender's are still getting a message failed email. I've had enough of this, I'm out, I now need to change years worth of official registrations that have this address, seriously unhappy when I've paid for this service for years.
  2. Hi, I too had this fine banding showing on epson arc matte and to a lesser extent on premium gloss, especially in areas of subtle shades.

     

    What i ended up doing was running the r1800 adjutment software that can be found on the web (unfortunatly for a price, albeit very little).

     

    When i ran it i found that many of the alignment settings of my printer were way out. It is a long proccess to go through them all, and takes alot of paper.

     

    The first time i ran through the adjustments i must have made an error as the problem was the same, but the second time seemed to fix all the fine banding issues.

     

    Now i dont suggest that this is going to be the solution for everyone, infact unless you know what you are doing i wouldnt recomend it. But if you do, make sure that you use the option to backup your printer eprom first, then if it all goes T*Ts up then you can restore it.

     

    Please do not go down this route unles you are sure that the banding is not caused by blocked print heads.

     

    It is a sad state of affairs that we seem to pay so much for this technology these days, when the potential of these devices is marred by total lack of decent quality control. I keep seeing it again and again in all areas of technology. Gone are the days of feeling secure in the knowledge that if you pay for quality yo get quality!

     

    On a side note, I would truely reccomend having profiles made of your papers. I spent a year tring to solve the r1800 dark prints problem, god knows how much i wasted in ink and paper. In the end paying ?15 for a custom profile solved my problem, and now i have beautiful prints..

     

    happy printing

  3. hi,

     

    i have just got a new 17-35mm ex lens with beauifuly smooth focus

    action and positive resistance at each end of the focus, which puts my

    150mm to shame.!

     

    question:

    The focus ring on my 150mm ex macro IS NOT LIKE THIS... it is much

    looser, and feels/sounds mechanically rough, with smooth action only

    when the focus ring slips on the clutch after focus has hit the end

    point..

     

    Do i have a bad lens or do other peoples lenses behave the same?

     

    many thanks
