Comments
Sophisticated, but not too expensive 4-ink small-office printer. With 20ppm for black text (economy mode) it is very fast for an inkjet, faster than many older desktop lasers. Very durable water- and light proof printouts and high printing quality on normal paper due to pigment inks.
180 nozzles black, 3x60 nozzles for the colours, 3 pl droplets, variable drop size.
Parallel and USB ports.
Full support in Gimp-Print 4.1.99b3 or newer.
Epson only advertises a resolution of 2880x720 for this printer (whicch is currently the maximum resolution with the Windows/MacOS drivers) with Gimp-Print 4.1.99rc1 and newer it does real 2880x1440 dpi. For drawings with fine details 1440x1440 dpi is recommended because this makes fine vertical and horizontal lines having equal widths.
This printer cannot be tested by sending plain text to it, as the printer may or may not respond to the text. The recommended way to test the connection is by checking the ink level with the escputil command as follows:
escputil -i -u -r /dev/lp0
where /dev/lp0 should be replaced with the name of your printer port.
Consumables/Refills: Four separately changable cartridges for black and the colours
