For the Last 6 Years, the Epson 3000 has been the premiere Medium sized Ink Jet printer for producing superior film positives with POSJET film.
Sadly Epson has ceased production of this workhorse printer and will sell the Epson 4000 in it's place.
The Epson 4000 is priced around $1800.00 .
The demand for the Epson 3000 is still high among screen printers however.
We think this machine will be around for a few years yet.

These printers are completely refurbished by an Epson Premiere service center . They have a 90 day warranty
The Epson 3000 comes in a box measuring 35"x21"x16" and weighs 42 pounds.
With basic maintenance these printers will typically last 5 years in the field until the next service.

If you wish to run the Epson 3000 on Windows XP or Mac OSX you will need a RIP.

Getting your 3000 ready to ship
Remove and keep the following parts: The plastic roll cover, the piece I am holding in the picture and the paper tray. Paper tray removal is covered below.
The really important step 2
PURGING THE INK SYSTEM
Turn the machine on and wait for it to stop making noise. Open the ink door and remove all the ink carts. Close the ink door and turn your machine off. It will run for 30 seconds and then shut off.
Lets remove the paper tray. Remove your printer cable or Ethernet cable. Gently lift the front of machine and place machine on its back. Grab and hold the paper tray so machine does not fall over. Using a flat bladed screw driver or similar tool release the tray locks. Refer to pictures.
Now that you have released the tray stops just pull the tray out and put it in a safe place if you are just having your printer refurbished. If you are trading or selling the printer - pack everything including the tray, cds cables etc.
Pack the machine in the original box if you have it. If not be sure and pack the machine in a box with packing that will protect it during transit. We recommend UPS ground shipping not red or blue second day. The box gets handled to much. Insure the machine for $1,500.
Fed Ex is also not one of our favorites, too much handling. These machines get air sick.
