The light colors can be mimicked by using small droplets (as the R2000 does without light colors: both printers can produce small ink droplets down to 2 pl). This could be replaced by the combination of vivid magenta + orange to yield a similar gamut. The R2000 had normal magenta, red and orange. gloss optimizer (taking a double capacity cartridge, as this will be consumed much faster) on the same area filled by the matte and photo black (60 ml capacity in total) It would be much better if Epson would combined the best of the R2000 (both blacks loaded simultaneously, gloss optimizer) with the best of the R3000 (grey cartridge for advanced black & white) into something this: This alone suggests it the same/similar R3000 mechanics.

If Epson was serious to update the R3000 replacement they would have incorporated seperate nozzles for both the PK and MK blacks so that no switching would be needed. I'm, not saying that there aren't any problems with the R3000, but my search of the net for clogged print heads and black ink marks on the prints is a very minor amount of printers affected against how many were probably sold.ДЇrom what I see the new P600 replacement looks like the same internals as the R3000. I do clean the bottom of the print head, the capping station, the wiper blade, and the left side of the printer's bottom sponge and clean the paper pickup rollerВ once a month. (former darkroom printer, 'doing photography' 30+ years, had Epsons since 1200 series)Дў.5 years old. It's an excellent printer by my standards. I suppose I'm one of the (vast) majority who have the R3000 and have had no problems at all! It is in the case of R3000 a engineering misstake. No it is not just a matter of maintenance. The old printer after that often was given to one of my sons that used it some more years. I have owned Epson inkjet printers since the R1200 came out sometime in the end of the nineties.ДЄll of them was used around 5-6 years before they were replaced by a later model with better technology. Since I have different and older Epson printer Models that have been in use for close to 10 years and one that is older - it makes me wonder if proper maintenance - starting with the beginning usage - would make any appreciable difference regarding what you are now experiencing. Printers with price tags of nearly $1,000 should last longer than 3 years without major problems.

I believe Epson should issue a general recall if all these printers to fix them. I am going through this exact problem with my 3 year old Epson r3000 and would like to second the warning to all potential purchaders of Epson printers.
