I was forcing black ink only for some prints for the printmaking students so I didn't bother running a cleaning since it seems that only the light magenta nozzles were clogged. Turns out my nozzle clog was a lot worse than expected. The firmware appears to have made it possible to use odd-sized papers (42" roll and 27" wide cut sheet fine art paper so far) without having to turn off the paper size check option which allows the printer to operate more as it should be expected.
When running without the paper check option on, the printer seems to feed an extra couple of inches between prints and each time you change the roll thus making it very wasteful.

I just updated the firmware on the unit and I think the update seemed to have fixed the paper detection quirk. Thanks in advance for any input you can give me. I own anĮpson 2100 which I am very happy with and which is troublefree. MyĮxperience with these wide format printers is limited. I am planning to use the Pro 9600 for commercial purposes. Some days, I'll still sit crouch in front of it with a flash light and enjoy watching it print on canvas with highspeed mode off. After all of these "issues" I really love my printer. In Photoshop, the files sometimes get so big that you think your machine has crashed but you come back about 15 minutes later and it's finally done. The PostScript RIP would handle this on the fly and with more resonable amounts of memory and HD swapping beyond memory buffer. 720 DPI 40 x 60 becomes a 4gigabyte-ish file which would ideally have much more than 4gigs to raster if you're doing it in PhotoShop. even a 20 x 30 at 360 DPI becomes a 250+ meg image file and you'll want that kind of resolution for fine text output.

If you're printing Postscript, Encapsulated PostScript, PDF's with vectored elements, vector elements from InDesign or any programs which output raw vector data to a print driver when printing, unless you have A LOT of RAM and a fast machine AND a lot of patience, find yourself a RIP that has PostScript support. it could have been worse if I didn't enjoy watching the head go along the huge carriage so much. printing with a 6' USB cable while waiting for my EpsonNet 2 card to arrive was kinda miserable. if you can arrange it so you have your printer in a different room connected by an ethernet cable you'll be happier. doesn't happen at 24" cuz canvas tends not to have enough mass and leverage to fold and drop along your cut. If cutting 36" or wider canvas with a utility knife, watch the standard automatic cutter pattern (cut from each end to the middle) or else you risk half of your canvas falling off and you making a poor cut.

it's just a series of menu options separated by "-> LexJet's Carey helped me out and sent me some information which I reposted in a blog entry: The 9600 keeps thinking the roll is improperly loaded and tells me to reload the roll. I had a couple rolls of substrates from Lexjet for signage and they are all 42" wide.
There's an optical paper sensor that's a bit quirky with non-standard Epson-sized rolls. 100+ feet no problem and even load it into a good switch and wireless access point or switch/AP combo and you have a wireless 9600. The EpsonNet 2 internal Ethernet print server is great. perhaps a bit more if you feed it around the left side. Anyway, about 2-3' of this limit will be eaten up just from you having to get your cord strung out from behind the printer. I've seen longer and you can put in extensions but the specification has a pretty small, finite limit. It's big and USB 2.0 isn't certified for more than 7 or 10' or something like that but I'm not too sure.

one sheet at a time and manual alignment. If printing for pay and someone brings you some funky paper that only comes as a cut sheet, definitely charge more - cut sheet paper feed on the 9600 is far from automated. the heads seem to clog otherwise if you don't print for five days or so Try to print daily or leave the printer on all of the time. Not sure exactly what you're looking for specifically but you seem to place some value on "troublefreeness" so I'll tell you what I've noticed with mine:
