  1. Hi,

    Thought I should update what happened with the printer. I spent lots of time with epson

    tech support doing every test imaginable and wasting tons of ink. They had no

    explanation, considered the printer defective and I got a new one. Unfortunately the new

    one did the exact same thing (also after cleanigs allignments and tests). It made me think

    its just the way the printer prints. While I am sure it is fine for some people and uses, the

    faint lines really bother me.

    I returned the 1800 and got the 2400. While I am not happy about the higher price tag,

    the print quality is great. It is what it should be.

  2. I have tried the nozzel cleaning... The test pattern prints perfect-

    no missing bars. I did a cleaning anyway, just to be sure. The

    pattern prints out the same as before - no broken lines or

    missing colors.

     

    I also have already done a head allignment (manual and

    automatic, this printer offers both).

     

    Neither step has made a change. Is it possible for this type of

    problem to be due to the icc profile?

  3. I am having problems with a new Epson 1800. I don't know if the problem is just the way

    the printer works, or if there is some other explanation. I have noticed faint banding

    accross prints on Epson Premium glossy photo paper. It is not the same strong banding

    that occurs whith a clogged print head. It is very fine, very close pale lines that show up in

    areas of solid color and smooth gradations (especially in cyan/blue/green tones). Its as if

    the ink dropplets are not dithered enough and each pass of the print head can be seen.

     

    I have checked the nozzels, they are not clogged. I have done a print head allignment, and

    it was fine. I am using the Epson premiul glossy icc profile. I have printed using the photo

    setting, best photo, and photo rpm; all with high speed off and gloss optimizer on. I have

    tried printing from a different computer and the same thing occurs. The problem is not

    nearly as noticable on plain paper or epson enhanced matte paper (I may only be able to

    see it because i know to look for it).

     

    Is this just the limitations of the printer? Honestly the prints look like they were done on

    an old, cheap inkjet. The fine line texture can be seen clearly from a foot away.

     

    Any suggestions on what could be the problem? Anyone experience the same thing?

  4. Has anyone had problems getting a wein hot shoe Safe Sync to work with the EOS 20D? I

    have an old strobe set, an Novatron 1600, and am trying to use it with my new 20D with a

    Wein Safe Sync. When I connect the safe sync to the hot shoe the test button works, but

    the strobes don't fire with the camera.

     

    I have tested to see if the strobes with the safe sync works on a regular film camera, and

    the connection works. I also tested to see if a small vivitar flash with the safe sync will

    work on the 20D, and it does!

     

    Is the 20D and the Wein Safe Sync not compatable with some strobe models?
