My 3880 is in the kifchen at my office, air conditioned all year round. I’m sure my secretaries hate it taking up 80% of the bench space. It is always covered with the plastic sleeve it came in new in the box. I hadn’t printed anything since early 2023 for various reasons. With a group exhibition looming in November I was not looking forward to myriad printing problems with my one submission, and needing someone else to print it’d at the last minute. The Epson started up and immediately printed in ABW an A4 test print. I printed another image I wanted to print and half way through the beautiful blacks turned to blue. I ran one cleaning cycle, made two or three more test prints and then the exhibition print on Ilford Galerie Gold Monosilk using Epson Premium Lustre setting, A3+. I have the ICC profile for this paper which is all I use but it’s so long since I printed I couldn’t remember how to load the profile.
For such an infrequent printer I’ve had so few problems with this notorious machine. Maybe it’s the plastic sleeve microenvironment.
