Thanks for posting this Dan. 

My P8000 will be affected so I just ordered my next 2 lowest inks to stave this off so that I don't need to rely on the 1st iteration of this FW update. 

I'll be sure to check that the cartridges are chipped when I get them just in case.

I never like to upgrade firmware and this scares me even more. Another attempt to lock out expired or third party inks? I hope my suppliers keep carrying the standard HDX inks.


Hello,
 
I'm writing to inform you of an important change to the ink cartridges of several Epson SureColor® printer models (P6000, P7000, P8000, and P9000) due to an ongoing chip shortage. This transition also involves an essential firmware update.
 
As of June 1, 2023, Epson will shift its UltraChrome® HD and HDX ink cartridges to a new design with updated part numbers. To ensure smooth operation of your Epson SureColor® printers, it's crucial to complete an immediate firmware update BEFORE installing the new cartridges or depleting your current ink supply.
 
You can find and install this firmware update by visiting https://epson.com/support/wa00941
 
Please note that while the cartridges are changing, the formulation and quality of Epson inks remains the same, maintaining their exceptional standards. The new cartridges will not include a chip to signal low ink levels. Instead, your printer will precisely count ink droplets, potentially alerting you earlier when ink is low. In recognition of this change, Epson is reducing the purchase price for end-users.
 
Your prompt action to update the firmware will help you avoid unnecessary downtime and service calls. Moreover, it will allow you to seamlessly use new and old ink cartridges during this transition period.

From my Lexjet rep.

Eric and David, thanks for your comments.  Guys, I wonder if you have to be of a certain age to get this image: smoke cigarettes and read Playboy magazine on the shitter.

👍🏼

I have been trying to get technical support to no avail. Changing display name hasn’t worked for years. I summarize that this site is drifting along with no one minding the store with the exception of taking the subscription revenue to the bank.

Apparently some kind of change to the site without a general notification. C'mon fellas  If I delete posts from yesterday, re-attache the same image, it shows. It ain't rocket science.

  Go figure. What's up 🤷🏼‍♂️
Of course, no reply from webmaster, but see workaround: https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=142527.0

I'll try another

… yawn 🥱

Yawn all you want but the truth is the lens is not sharp in the corners. Not great for such a short lens. Anyway an interchange Q3 would have been too much production and profit for Leica not to mention killed the M system which is doomed anyway for some of us.

Ask yourself if you have to produce high quality images using a 28mm lens for submission to get a project what lens would you use? If you're just taking snapshots for the web like 90% of Q buyers who cares.
