Well ... I guess I have somehow made the printer god angry ...
in the meantime I sold the printer causing the other thread ...
http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?96675-Epson-4900-Printer-Extreme-Clogging-Problem/
... for 200 bucks and got an HP Z3200 ... sadly not without issues ...
I assembled and set up the printer like it asked me to (using the included HP Everyday Satin Paper)
After inserting the inks, the print head box moved from the parking position to an accessible area ... there it became visible that there was mouse shit on the box with the print heads (and around it).
The matte ink is clogged on the "diagnosis page"
At the beginning of each roll paper page (around 2cm from the paper edge) there are mechanically caused strips over the whole page (in the print-head-moving direction)
Asides from that, nice colors what I saw from the diagnosis page ...
Mailed the company and now I hope I will get an immediate replacement for that printer from the company selling it ...
I hope I won't have to deal with HP support and perhaps end up with some refurbished old printer or someth
Like I said, I must have somehow made the printer god angry ...
Looks like I'll have to make a formal sacrifice, for example take some EUR bills, glue them together on a huge page,
and then print "Hail the lord of pigments" all over it ;-)
Best,
Martin
