After the ink charge, print out a nozzle check to see if all the colors are printing correctly. If they are, you are set to go. If not, perform a head clean and test the nozzle check again.

If still not perfect you can perform one or two more head cleans (do not overuse this exercise) until you get a good nozzle check.

Occasionally a printer will stubbornly refuse to print a perfect nozzle check after a couple of head cleans. There can be a number of reasons for this including the fitting of a dye sublimation system for the first time or a printer being left for a long period of time without running any prints.

If you have to run more than a couple of head cleans be careful not to overdo it. Run up to 5 head cleans but keep checking the nozzles after each one. If the nozzle pattern improves dramatically but is not perfect leave the printer to sit for at least 1 hour then check the nozzles again.

Sometimes the nozzle check has improved further still without wasting any more ink (and trying your patience). If there are only a couple of nozzles missing try a print to see if this kicks in those last couple.

Further head cleans when the nozzle check is almost perfect can often result in the whole thing going backwards and the nozzle checks becoming very poor.

This high resolution allows for remarkably detailed prints with smooth gradients and subtle tonal transitions, ensuring that every image is reproduced with precision. Additionally, the printer's speed is impressive, offering rapid printing without compromising quality, making it suitable for both small job printing and larger projects.

The Epson R1900 features a front-loading paper tray that can handle various media sizes, including up to 13 x 44 inches for panoramic prints. This flexibility is complemented by a rear manual feed slot, which ensures smooth handling of thick media, making it a versatile choice for photographers working with different print formats.

Connectivity is another strong point for the R1900, as it offers USB 2.0 and Ethernet options, making it easy to integrate into home or professional studio environments. Moreover, the printer supports direct printing from digital cameras, thanks to its PictBridge compatibility, streamlining the workflow for photographers who want immediate results.

In summary, the Epson R1900 combines cutting-edge ink technology with advanced printing capabilities to deliver exceptional performance for photography and art reproduction.
