Mike Messner, a professional photographer from Canada, has kindly sent me his first impressions of the Epson 4000 printer.

“The Firmware on our printer was newer than that from the Epson Web Page. That made me not mind the wait so much, now that it’s over at any rate.

I had a small problem with setting it up after running the head alignment from the printers control panel, for some reason every time I tried to print we got solid blocks of color but no print.  I think I shut off the automatic nozzle checking utility from the control panel. So far I haven’t found out just how to set that on the panel.  I may surrender and call “home” but now today, I may with a cooler head find the information required in the manuals or in the CD information.  I found the how to movies provided excellent so far.

The ICC profiles gave us excellent color from the get go!  No problems there that’s for sure.  We had two small portrait orders printed the same afternoon we set up the machine. Although I know it won’t seem as fast today as it did yesterday, the speed was impressive.  Having paper on tap in the large paper tray was well how can I put it very nice.”

Thanks to Mike for that report and the photo which shows just how big the Epson 4000 actually is!
