I haven't been able to update yet because three of my inks are running low with exclamation mark :-\

Has anyone tried it, what are your thoughts?

EPSON Stylus Pro 7900 Firmware release
Has anyone tried it, what are your thoughs /Dimitris

Thanks for the heads up
 according to the release notes there are only 2 issues that are "improved", wake up, and spectro.
If your not having issues then I'd say don't bother unless you haven't done any of the other previous  updates and want to catch up.
I may be wrong, but my opinion is...

if it aint broke, don't fix it ;)

I finally updated the bios to this last version.
According to the release notes Epson has improved the AID functionality (again!)
However, I still don't feel confident enough to enable the Auto nozzle check.
Maybe it has to with the word "improved", we don't need improvements, we need something that just works!

When I test this "improvement", I'll give you some feedback, unless someone else tries it first.

Also note that the AID improvements (and numerous others) mentioned are referencing previous firmware updates.  This one is primarily dealing with a sleep mode issue and some functionality of the spectroproofer.

It should be available both for manual download and automatic update through the LFP Remote Panel.
