A very thorough and helpful video. Thank you for posting. However, I think there should be some mention of the vulnerability of the cartridge covers falling open by accident. It is noticeable from the video that shutting the cartridge covers took two attempts and it is easy for them to fall open during the initialisation phase if they are not fully secure. Interruption of the initialisation process can cause many problems so it is worth keeping a couple of pieces of that 'blue tape' to ensure that the cartridge covers stay closed.
@@donspradlin1944I think Keith Cooper said that he recommends you do not cut canvas using the cutter equipped in the printer and use a scissor instead because the cutter is aporoximately 160 British pounds, and you do not want to risk damage to a consumable as expensive as this.
*BEWARE* do not buy this printer. The ink carts are $110ea, with 10 of them, it's $1,100 every time you refill ink. As a small business, this makes printing not even worth it. We were planning on doing posterboard, coasterboard, poster paper and photo prints. Our biz model is down the drain because Epson ink takes our profits away. They got so greedy that they broke the business.

Explained and illustrated really well. Thanks
Excellent!
Hi
What is the print speed of an A4/letter with approximately 30 percent CMYK? An example is impositioned business cards.
Thanks
Hi, does this model have an inbuilt Spectrophotometer, or is it the standard SC5370?
a beautiful device but quite large and relatively heavy. Probably also solid.
can it print canvas ?
Surely it can I’m still printing 17” canvas prints on my Epson 3880 I’m wondering if it will auto cut canvas from a roll.

Paint dries at a slightly more entertaining rate
