I do have access to the ink ports (one per colour).  I had seen that as an 
option (I think the page I saw suggested squeezing the solution through).

To be honest I don't know what I'll do even if I do get it running. I have yet 
to find a source of ink for this model so I may be wasting my time. Epson.com 
says they're discontinued.

I also have my old flatbed scanner still wrapped up. I'll probably send that 
one straight to recycling.  And I need to work out what I want to do with my 
film scanner.  If the Pentax slide duplicator wasn't so expensive I'd sell the 
scanner and buy one of those.

Cheers,
Dave

When I went out for my walk early this morning, I saw something similar. 
It appears to have shifted towards the northern hemisphere since I last 
saw it two weeks ago.

Anyone have an idea as to what this might have been?

OT: UFO Sighting

I was on my way home from an appointment with my ophthalmologist when I
observed something very strange in the sky.

It seemed to be a large golden orb, just hanging there, and emitting a
strange and -powerful light. I even imagined that I could feel the heat
radiating off this unusual object.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[Paul Stenquist]

I’ve been using a 2880 without a single clogging incident fir years. Bought it 
when it was first introduced. In recent years I’ve probably made only one print 
a month or so but it keeps chugging along. I use only Epson ink and buy it from 
Atlex or Epson, never off store shelves. I don’t if any of that matters, but I 
suspect fresh ink is a factor.

Put them on ebay and you'll see. I've sold my remaining inks and while
it wasn't enough to retire I was pleasantly surprised.

Now, speaking of expired film, I'll have to do something to get rid of a
whole box full that contributes to the mess in our basement, not to

Re: PESO: Winter Cardinal

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Paul!

We have more than a foot of snow on the ground here, and the temps have
been consistently below freezing until today.  I grabbed a "Woodpecker
block" when getting groceries.  I put on my best boots, and troughed out in
the backyard, following the trail my dog blazed, and hung it on the only
limb I could reach, using the step stool I carried with me.  A day later,
MR Cardinal, in his fiery red coat, appeared, but only for a few minutes.
I dragged my old camera, already on the tripod, out to the least icy part
of my rear deck (next to the icicles I have been photographing), and got a
half dozen snaps before he moved on.  The two you see are the only ones
even close to usable.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[mike wilson]

If you have access to the ink port on the head and can obtain a disposable 
hypodermic, you could try fitting it directly to the port (I found a 5ml one 
worked best; might be different for other models) and filling the barrel with a 
mix of IPA and distilled or deionised water.  Put the plunger back in to reduce 
evaporation and leave it.  If you manage to get some seepage, _gentle_ pressure 
might help.  Time is your friend.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[Bulent Celasun]

Mine had remained unused for about 4 years, maybe 5.
At least a year or 2 of it was in a box.
I was rather too busy with other matters and wasn't surprised when I
found it dead.

The inks were originals like the ones I still have sitting somewhere unopened.
I remember thinking about selling them as such but I doubt they will perform
as good as films past their BB date.

 The good news is that Bong is well.  The bad news is he is not doing
 photography at all during the pandemic.  He was always one of my very
 favorite photographers, witn a unique and gripping style.

Oh! It never occured to me. If only I knew it then!
Thank you.
I will surely remember this next time.

That is exactly how I felt.

Next time put it on ebay with an honest description of the problem. Then
watch what happens and be surprised...

I've sold my totally clogged-up R2400 a few years ago and it still
fetched over 100 euros.

I also had tried everything but with my small amount of prints it kept
clogging and had turned into a bottomless pit. With all the money wasted
on ink for useless head cleanings I might as well have had my few prints
oil-painted.

Re: Unclogging printer head

[Bulent Celasun]

I used to have a lightly used  Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Inkjet Printer
which was neglected for years
(totally unattended with the ink set mounted).
Tried everything I might and failed to make the head sing again.
I had to leave it on top of an electronic garbage pile.
Now I have a lower spec model (L805) and try to keep it happy by turning it on
(even when nothing is to be printed)
every now and then.
