Title: Women, you gotta love em :-)
Post by: Dexter on March 19, 2009, 10:38:14 AM

Okay, my mrs wanted me to print a photo of me and her to hang on the wall on my Epson R2400 (A3+ roll printer)
While I have not used this printer in a while, I did it for her (as you do)
She then said "Why don't you try and print some of your artwork ?"  :o

Then I realied I received some sample Lexan type plastic sheets to try and print on, so I thought I'd have a go (onlyA4)

Other thing, I need to replace 2 ink tanks so you'll notice the vertical lines in the darker greens and the black around the joystick.
So, what do you think ? I tried to get some shots on angles to try and see the texture (turned out REAL nice) Almost as good as the original and CHEAP AS to print  ;D

I'll get some new inks tomorrow and run  some cleaning on the printer before I try some others.

Bummer, I just noticed I printed it out without the last two lines (had the layers hidden  :oops: )

Anyway, this is the FINAL print of PPR

On the final artwork file or the print ? if it's the print, you'll also see it on the darker green on the tree (as stated in the first post) need to calibrate the printer and replace some ink tanks.  :)
