Title: epson p800
Post by: ol man on April 22, 2016, 05:31:39 PM

Does anyone have experience with this printer?  im in need of a replacement for the epson 4900, which finally decided to take a nosedive today. and after owning two of them i dont want this printer again - awful experience.

thanks

Search it here 80ml ink carts, look at t3270 with 2 black rest cleaning carts. They go to 700ml. I have one and love it using cadlink rip and filmdirectonline inks. Email Bryan and will tell you about both i bet.

My opinion, but other have had problems and others no problems. I have not had a clog yet aprox 4-6 months since getting it.

The printer is faster than a 4800 or 4880.
Some times thats per day in busy times.

I looked on film direct, which ink are you using. It doesn't show refillable carts.

I am using the 700ml non refillable - call or email bryan concerning it. He advised me and love mine.

He said cost wise was not worth it using the 700ml.

Anyone running a P800 with refillable cartridges?
