Re: Epson Surecolor F-500

So, I just treated myself with this printer. I Phoned up a few companies for the best deal. Every company said pretty much the same thing: is low priced and there is no much room for good deals. But I managed to get few quids off here and there.
So printer, set of inks, the roll of 30m paper, and free carriage worth around £55.
I Got it from Xpres at the end. The manager said he can match competitor price and throw paper in so no brainer. so just over £2K and will be deliverd here by tomorrow.
Hopefully, it will help me speed up printing masks process :)

I was looking in to VJ myself. but despite what women says about extra couple of inches, it didn't "speak" to me. It was just to much difference in price. and Sawgrass :/ that put me off too.

Yes I've stuck with it because of the extra blacks, really works for me but now I have a head block and I'm having to 'deal' with SG Support :-( Yet again.

I've been running one of these since early this year and it's been amazing. Faultless printing and Epson colours are spot on. Quite probably the most user friendly machine you will ever use. Inks are cheap, Epson cost tool is fab, cannot fault it!

Do you know what the warranty is like on these? Hoping it might be a bit more comprehensive as it is sold as a specialist subli printer rather than converted.
