<p>Hi Luis. Try this company, if you want a field camera: https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/about<br> They say they will launch an 8 x 10 early this year.<br> Good luck and good shooting.<br> Richard</p>

<p>Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the forum on this. With some problems I was having with other matters at the same time as the printer I sort of completely lost track of the photo.net correspondence.<br> After the repairs detailed in the November entry above, all was well - until February this year, when banding reared its ugly head again. It was very light and difficult to see unless the print was inspected in bright sunlight but it was there all the same.<br> The result was that Epson have again replaced the print head. Fortunately for me they did this free of charge, even though the printer was well out of warranty. I should get it delivered by courier tomorrow, hopefully along with a bit of free ink that I suggested they include. I didn't think to do a screen shot of the ink levels before I sent it off so it's anyone's guess as to how much they've used in testing!<br> So, I now have my fingers crossed and hope I get more than six months' use out of the latest head. BTW, I don't make a large number of prints so it hasn't been over-use causing the problems.<br> Thanks again to those who responded to my original query.</p>

<p>This printer problem of mine has been a very drawn-out process, but if there's anyone out there still awake, you may be interested to know the sequel. The Epson service agent replaced the print heads but the problem persisted. Eventually they got the Epson Australia crew involved and they recommended replacing the ink supply system. End of problem!<br> Thanks to those who contributed a response to my original post.</p> <p>Richard</p>

<p>Hi all<br> Epson R3000, Windows 7 OS, printing via Photoshop CC, ABW mode, set at "printer manages colors".<br> Suddenly I've started getting an effect on my b & w prints that resembles solarisation from the wet darkroom era.<br> I've checked through the "Devices & Printers" path in Windows, I've printed the file in Publisher and I've also printed a different file from the same shoot. Comes out the same each time.<br> Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.<br> Many thanks in advance.</p><div></div>
