deuxquinze Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Well I am a happy d700 user that had take the decision of buying a d1000. And now I am an angry d1000 user, new machine is way beyond the olds ones mechanical quality speaking. Also I have a problem with print quality, look to the attached picture. Any ideas where the problem is??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Yes they are completely flimsy plastic garbage now! Someone showed me the exact same phenomenon on the prints from their D1000, it was a print with a black background and had slight green banding pattern just like on your photo. Surly the printer is still under warranty? Contact Epson and see what they say, I would imagine/ hope there is some kind of service adjustment that can be done to correct the problem.

deuxquinze Posted July 8 Author Report Share Posted July 8 Well, Epson is saying that the problem is that I don't like the machine, they don't see any problem on the print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 That is a rather a silly thing for them to say. Well of course you don't like a printer that is giving banding lines on the prints it produces. Get some prints made on a proper wet process Minilab and then make the same prints on the D1000 so you can demonstrate the banding problem to them.

So it seems these printers can't produce a uniform colour image unless it is set on High Quality, which then halves the life of the printhead.

purnomosetiawan Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 upload new firmware, or if you can, rollback with the old one. if no luck, replace the mainboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycam Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I have a lot of problems with D1000, it is old 3 months, and making me big problems, very unreliable. First bigger problem in august, and every time was some smaller problems, and few days ago, it totaly blocked Cyan. I took it to Epson service and after 2 days they call me and said they put Power Cleaning few times and all is working... this drives me nuts, since i did cleaning more than 10 times...

purnomosetiawan Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 i guess they didn't solved a weak pump.....mostly the printhead is fine, the pump is the problem, but because of execive cleaning, it will kill the printhead. never do normal cleaning more than 3 times in a a row, always let the printer rest for a while betwen cycle, and do not do power cleaning more than 1x in a row, let it rest overnight betwen cycle Skycam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect these are designed to fail, usually just outside of the warranty period! The new d1000 has a terrible build quality (much worse than the D700/D800) everything is made out of flimsy plastic that will easily break. Epson used to make fantastic printers, not anymore.

It's a shame Canon don't make an equivalent printer to the Epson d1000. If they did. and it also had a user replaceable printhead, I think it would be a winner.

Canon dreamlabo 5000? This is a very expensive machine by the looks of it, and is aimed at high volume production, so is for a different market.
