Epson xp-305 will it work?

[jason.etheridge]

Hi folks.
We are going to get a proper Ricoh printer.
however I was hoping to use an epson xp305 to begin with.

Does anyone know if it will work?
also how do you acquire an icc profile.

Many thanks

If you're getting a Ricoh why waste time and money on the Epson? By the time you've bought inks etc. You may as well just get going with a proper printer to start with

Only because. I'm doing this project with a friend. Im doing artwork he will be printing etc. but a want to get two printers and presses going.

The Epson offers a cheaper route to market, and if you don't mind a bit of faffing, research, and are techincally minded is less a 'proper' machine than the Ricoh.
For ICC profiles, you need to talk with user Paul on here
I suggest you read the FAQ: Which Printer at the top of the printer forum: http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/sh ... ch-Printer

And have a read about Paul's ICC profiling service on his website here: http://www.frames4photoshop.info/custom ... ation.html

If you need 2 A4 printers my own advice would be to get 2 Ricoh 3110 printers, save yourself a lot of potential hassle and have support along the way. Get yourself up and running making money quickly.

I'll second Justin there. I love to fiddle and tinker but I still went down the ricoh route to get started. Then.....well...
