There are a few ways to reduce your printing costs while using the Epson 11880 inkjet printer:
When printing nozzle check patterns, use a page of letter or legal sized paper (found in the top drawer under the viewing booth) instead of your (more costly) roll paper. Remember to create a separate usage entry in the log book with the paper type as “own” so you won’t be billed for the paper usage.
If that nozzle check pattern shows gaps in one or two colours, the 11880 now has an option to do single colour head cleanings. To access this in the printer control panel, select Menu > Maintenance > Clean Each Color. A single colour cleaning uses approximately a third of the ink of a regular cleaning, so only use this if you have gaps in one or two colours.
