    thanks for the review, just ordered this after a ten year old HP printer stopped working. we were sick of it anyway, black ink was $42!!! time for a new printer and this one is perfect for our small operation. thanks man!

  • @SprockX2
    @SprockX2 5 років тому +18

    I can confirm that running the print through twice will give you very dense blacks. As long as you take your time the registration on the second print will be spot on. You will have to let it sit for about 5 minutes after the second pass to let the ink dry completely. Hope this helps.

    • @cloyjoseph8707
      @cloyjoseph8707 6 місяців тому

      How do you register your first print to the opportunity for it to be printed twice in the same film. If that what you meant?

  • @MrTumorHumor
    @MrTumorHumor 6 років тому +35

    even if you wanted to produce HUGE prints. Like poster sized prints. You can simply block your design out into multiple 13x19 images in photoshop. Print them out on this printer and use clear scotch tape to bring them together for exposure. It's more work but it's actually kind of fun. It's great for producing bigger prints.

    • @tristanbryann8252

    I used to use an Epson ET-2550 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

    this setup worked really well for me. i grabbed the iP8720 and use the Arthur inks. If you create the PDFS in illustrator/photoshop and do a lot of film printing, i print in CMYK mode instead of grayscale. You can use the CMYK value 40, 30, 30, 100 and will give you a really deep black. Printing a lot of films in grayscale will drain the gray cartridges really fast, and kind of hard to get just Gray cartridges ink bulk for cheap.

    This printer really works. I had a hard time getting it to print (kept feeding film right through the printer). I found out that using it wirelessly was the problem. Next I had to reinstall the drivers a couple times because of this and the fact I wasn't getting the controls (paper settings etc) featured in the video. Don't give up, this is a great match. I did run into detail issues when exposing, but I was using diffusion dither and it just wasn't the best for tiny detail - also couldn't wash out a .5 pt stroke. AMAZING for the money.
