Unpacked my new Christmas gift (Epson 3800). Getting all the tape off was the hardest part. Have the printer up and running. Prints looks good color wise, no smudging or pizza marks. So far have used only Epson Premium Luster paper. When printing A3 size prints (actual print area around 10x15 inches), I notice a not too loud clicking noise when the print head reaches the leftmost point and begins to return.
I am printing at 1440, turned bi-directional off. I tried setting the platen gap to wide to see if the noise went away. No change. As stated earlier, the noise isn't too loud, but not having owned one of these before or ever heard one operate, I don't know if this is normal. Will call support on Monday and have them listen, but was just looking for some feedback in the meantime.
By the way, thanks to everyone on the forum as the posts on this printer and a variety of other topics has been very helpful.
Hope everyone is having / has had a great holiday season.
