The Epson 11880 Printer is Super Cheap!

I just noticed the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 (64") Printer has a $5,000 instant rebate. This must be Epson's stimulus package!

This makes the printer between $7,000 and $8,000 depending on where you purchase it. A steal at that price! Especially considering retail price is $14,995.

Just my two cents for the day. Contact me if you want a referal or post on the comments where you find the best deal.

Epson 7900 and 9900 Firmware should be upgraded immediately

The Epson Stylus 7900 (24") and Epson 9900 (44") initial firmware should be upgraded as soon as possible to avoid the printer entering an endless cleaning loop that will not stop until one of your inks is empty. This appears to be a problem with the initial version of the firmware Epson provided, also furthering the ink conspiracy many have alluded to on the internet.

We recommend you upgrade your Epson Stylus Pro 7900 or Epson Stylus Pro 9900 to at least Firmware Version HW00812100. You can download it from --

The Epson Automatic Head Cleaning can be disabled if you don't have the latest version of the firmware. Several people have have commented on this online, you can read more at:

We did have firmware version 1.0 ... and as of this posting they seem to have fixed the problem via a firmware upgrade.
