Re: Epson R1800 to good home

I found your post very interesting... I was in the same predicament a few months ago, finally put my R1800 on the local Craigs List, free. I felt bad about letting it go, and I hope I found a good home for mine also. Our situation was so similar it's uncanny. My three black carts were clog free, but one of my cleaning carts developed a clog that just wouldn't let go. That, plus overall clogging from time to time was getting a bit tiresome.
Got seven years of excellent prints out of it, though. Now I have a 1400 with Paul's Eboni-6 inkset and so far no clogs! What a relief. That only reservation I have is that these prints are a bit warm for my taste. I believe Paul said that was due to using dilute Eboni in five of the six carts. But I always liked Agfa paper in the darkroom, which was a bit warm,so I guess I'll get used to it.
I also included spare carts, ink resetter etc.
What do you expect to print with next? Just curious. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rambling, and I hope your printer ends up in good hands!
Regards,
Paul
