Printing & Copying

I bought my first roll of paper today. 30cm wide premium luster. It won't fit the excuse of a roll paper adapter I got with my R2400, but my plan was to cut the paper prior to printing for long panoramas. It works fine. If I wanted to use roll paper, I could quite easily build a roll holder that could live just behind my printer, but I probably won't do that.

Anyway, as I was printing a 60cm panorama from Imageprint, the two of the black inks ran empty. I was expecting this as the lights was flashing, but I wanted to try out if swapping inks in the middle of a print was a success. The Epson driver seems to avoid this when printing cut sheet, but ImagePrint just churn out no matter what.

The operation did not go that well. Since the ink swapping of the R2400 involves pushing directly in the print head assembly, I guess things may get ever so slightly displaced. There was some banding after the swap.
