Hi, So I have an L805 and it's been nothing but trouble since I got it. It's not getting worse day by day. I probably print over 50 things every night and I am wasting too much time with all the issues and it's costing me money and valuable time in this busy period.
So I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to a print that isn't going to cause too many problems?
Thanks
Lee

Re: Reliable printer needed
I purchased an ET-2711 Epson from Ink Experts. This machine was a quick purchase as my 10 year plus old Ricoh had given up. The ET-2711 is advertised as a low volume printer.
It was exactly a year old on 31st October, I printed a nozzle check and noticed that in 365 days it had printed 17,824 prints. That's 342 a week or 68 a day (5 day week) which I think is pretty high volume. Obviously you need to do the occasional roller clean (takes a couple of minutes), but apart from that its a cracking machine.
Having said that, your L805 should also be up to this sort of volume. I would suggest dropping Ink Experts a message describing the problems you are having as it might be a quick fix without the need of purchasing a new printer. They are decent guys and will not sell you anything you do not need

Re: Reliable printer needed
What issues do you have with the L805? I set one up here and only issue I have is the bloody pizza wheels. Also it doesn't always recognise the media I use. Quality wise these are hard to beat being the new ecotank version of the old P50.
Re: Reliable printer needed
I got rid of the pizza wheels on my L3110 by turning off high speed printing and slightly reducing the print density (found under maintenance menu in Epson utility).
