I'm clearing out some old photographic gear that I no longer use. In particular I need to find a home for my ancient Epson Stylus Photo R2100 printer, or else it'll end up on the tip. I'm just testing the water to see if there is any interest, as it'll need a bit of fettling. It's heavy and large so it would be collection only, but FREE.
It's a 13" pigment ink printer which uses the 7-colour ultrachrome inkset, but has stood idle for along time. As a result most of the ink channels are blocked, though in the past I've always managed to clear them. I am out of ink on one channel and I'm not prepared to buy another just to see if I can get the print head unblocked. There are ways and means to unblock print heads (with window cleaner! Search the web, e.g. http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/i...nter-cleaning/).
When it was working it produced excellent results on matt papers, though I did use ImagePrint v6 RIP software (on win95!) which could be included (you would need to confirm what Windows version it'll work with and whether you could transfer the license. I have the associated dongle). Other than that, I think the mechanics are sound. Alternatively, it might be suitable for conversion to one of the continuous ink feed solutions, such as from Lyson (https://www.specialistinks.com/epson...photo-2100.php).
Please let me know if you have any interest.
