Printing Superstructures.

My wonderful Epson RX620 printer is in need of service because some internal parts have come to the end of their service life.

I was told that it is most likely that the sponge that absorbs the excess ink is full and the counter has reached the end of its counting.

I was told that it would be cheaper to buy a new printer than to have this one serviced.  UGH!

 

I picked up an Epson Artisan 710 through Staples online.  It had a $30.00 rebate online, and when I brought an old printer in for recycling, they would credit me another $50.00!

So that reduced the cost of my new printer by $80.00!!! (Turned in an old HP that has been collecting dust for the last four years)

Now that I have this new printer at home, It looks like I can not put in the super long paper that I had used in the RX 620 printer!!!

UGH! 

I am going to have to play with this new printer to see if I can trick it into using the long card stock.

The 620 is still on hand. I just may try to get it serviced at some point in the future.

I did look at the wide feed Epson, but it was just a printer, and Mary wanted an "All in one"

You could always just print onto paper and then spray-tack the paper to card stock or foamcore.

Why are you working on the superstructure anyway? You still need a hull!

I'm not working on the superstructure right now.

Lumpy and the Tirp’s have been put on the back burner until I can finish the invites and RSVP cards.

We are hosting a Mother's day dinner, and un-official fund raiser to rebuild a school back in the Philippines. 

So I need a decent printer for the invitations since my printer had died, and noticed after I had the new one set up that it has a feed tray.

(I had purchased it sight un-seen.)
