More Jams!
Zion Tree: one of a group of test transfers I did today with a homemade transfer film.
Today was a fun day, I fixed some issues with with my homemade transfer films, turns out I just needed to put masking tape around the back edges to give it a little more stiffness, now it will feed through the printer without jamming.
Speaking of the printer, that’s a whole other can of worms. There was a slight nozzle clog this morning, so I ran a number of head checks and then had to perform a bunch of head cleaning operations. As a result, the printer tries to clear the clog out of ALL of the print nozzles. It doesn’t just work on the ones with clogs. SO after replacing most of my inks a few days ago and having printed very little, I’m out of ink!
I did call the Epson customer service/support line to see if there was anyway to force the printer to just clean the clogged heads but they assured me that there isn’t anything within the Epson print utilities that allows that. So the nice customer service lady listened to my suggestion that the print utility be updated to allow this and then decided she could send me a “one time complimentary replacement (ink) set”.
Production is slightly hindered for now, but I’ll move on to make more transfer films and maybe do other prep work in the coming days.Carry on!
