<p>oh no :( wasted brand new ink </p>

<p>Andrew you've been so helpful - thank you. Last question .. Does the P800 use the same ink cartridges as the 3800 ? i have some unused cartridges and would hate to end up not using them once i replace my printer </p>

<p>What about the Epson 4900 ?</p>

<p>you're an Epson user?</p>

<p>Thank you Andrew ... Is it worth looking into any of the Canon ones suggested above ? how do they compare to Epson ?</p>

<p>prices look the same from what i can see... very similar. Unless I'm missing something :)</p>

<p>I just looked up the Epson P800 ... Unless I'm looking at the wrong one - Reviews are quite low on it</p>

<p>Is the 3880 sheet & roll ?</p>

<p>Super helpful Marc - Thank you. The D750 is coming up quite a bit while asking people around me. The D4 and D4s as well .. but i fear too heavy for theatre and weddings .. </p>

<p>what size paper does the Canon iPF6xxx print...?<br>

The majority of my prints are at A3+ with a few exceptions larger</p>

<p>Thank you Howard.<br>

Now they're telling me that head MAY work ok but printing quality will be at 80/90% ... They're unable to complete the test as they need a new waste tank and asking me whether to go ahead or not. Do you reckon it's worth it? Or should i just replace...?</p>

<p>My Epson Pro 3800 which i've had for 5/6 years needs a new print-head .. Which will cost me about $1,400.<br>

I'm thinking it would make more sense to pay more & to upgrade my printer. What's the current equivalent to what the 3800 was when it first came out?<br>

Many thanks </p>

<p>I've taken it in to the local Epson rep where I currently am (dubai) - They said the print-head needs replacing and will cost the equivalent of $1,400 - I've had the printer for about 5/6 years now. I'm guessing it would make more sense to get a totally new printer rather than replace the head. Thoughts? What is the best printer on the market at the moment for high end photographic prints? </p>

<p>All very helpful - Thank you </p>

<p>I've been reading quite a bit about the A7Sii .. Seems to have good reviews even for weddings/events etc.</p>

<p>Thank you for replies - The rig won't be convenient.<br>

So the verdict is against the Sony ?</p>

<p>Any thoughts on the Sony A7r or A7s for wedding and theatre photography?<br>

I have a nikon D700 that i use for my portrait work. Now going into weddings and theatre .. I'm literally broken after a job. Especially a full day on a wedding. With the various heavy lenses.<br>

I really need a lighter but high quality camera .. and looking into the Sony.<br>

Feedback?</p>

 

<p>William that was very helpful - Thank you</p>

<p>thank you Bruce .. how can i sort that out ?</p>

<p>thank you - i'll have a look.<br>

Does using an on-camera flash use up my camera's battery fast ?</p>

I've tried that .. Even did the overnight

head cleaning from instructions I found

online .. Using windex. The paper

towels ended up with a lot of ink ..

Perhaps I still need to do more to

unclog...

It's my only printer. I tried printer a word

document .. Same thing .. Blank

<p>Also, when I pull out the reflective white card .. a clear plastic flap also comes out with it. Do i let that rest over the flash head or do i push it back in? Thank you</p>

<p>I'm recently going into wedding photography and have done a few jobs so far - Satisfied with the results. I shoot using my Nikon D700, high ISO, no flash ... available light and the results are quite stunning.<br>

There have been times where I felt I needed that extra stop, or a touch of flash for a steady image.<br>

I've dug out my Nikon SB-800 but have actually never worked with on-camera flash.<br>

I have a wedding to shoot tomorrow that I intend to shoot as I always have .. no flash, high iso. But would like to know what settings i can have my flash ready at in order to merely give me a very subtle extra touch of light. I'd like to maintain the feeling the natural light gives me in those images but want to add a very soft, subtle light to make the images more crisp without affecting highlights or shadows from the enviorment.<br>

Can someone let me know what a safe setting is for that? I tend to set my ISO, spot metering and Aperture priority. How can i add this every so subtle touch of light? and should i pull out the reflective white card and keep the flash at an angle?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I've tried running a nozzle check and status sheet .. the first few times i loaded the paper it came out the other end immediately. Once it went through properly ... it came out blank as well.<br>

Does low ink do this? Or would i still be able to run such checks with one cartridge at low ink?</p>

<p>I'm trying to establish whether the problem is the low ink cartridge or a larger issue? I'm assuming it would still give me some results even with Low Ink flashing. no? </p>
