Well, I have tried about everything except a 12 gauge:( Looks like I am now looking for another printer that will work with T-Rip so I don't have to purchase another Rip program. Suggestions?
I've got my money worth out of this printer but I am not going to put any more money in it. Thanks for everybody's advice.

And just my luck, my 4800 crap the bed today and is printing nothing at all too. Sounds like the same issue you’re having. So annoying. CTS time...

$300 or so with shipping!

it does not say anything about the printhead. I'd check before buying.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

I just got a WF7210, but it was to replace a WF1100. Perfect for my (comparatively meager) needs. The Workforce (WF) line is a step down for a lot of folks here. This, after all is a printer that sells for $150 or so.
I use pigment inks and use it for films as well as transfers. I don't use a rip other than Ghost, and for that matter, hardly ever even need that.
btw, besides a bit of a learning curve, and a lot more mechanical sounds compared to my 1100, I like it! Faster output, wireless connection for the ipad and iphone when needed, no more need for a waste pad bypass jar (this guy has the easily replaceable maintenance box), and my Cobra refillables include an oversize black tank.

actually not really. Ebay has a money back guarantee. If it is listed as used, it has to be 100% functional or you get your money back. It could have cosmetic issues, but other than any problems listed in the description it has to work.

Thanks I'll do some investigation on it. Send the seller an email to ask about it.
