I can't believe my last post here was 11 months ago. Those months have not been uneventful, and some of the events I could easily have done without. But more to the point of this poorly maintained blog:
My 7900 is now eight years old. Among the owners I've known of these things, that makes it the oldest still-functioning unit. And that is, I suppose, the reason my last posting was so long ago; there's been nothing to report. The machine is still running, still making gorgeous prints, and still only moderately painful to start up for each print job. Nothing has changed. Some days I can spend 40 minutes or more getting a good nozzle check print. Other days things "just work" such that I wake the printer, run a nozzle check, it's perfect, and I print. I love those days!
I've recently been commissioned to make some prints for a rather odd installation. There's no deadline (yet), and I'll need to do some experimentation with materials to determine what will both "work" and be acceptable to the client. More to come, and I promise the next posting will be sooner, rather than later!
