For Sale: Epson 7890 for spares or repair only. No inks included but was printing with Sublijet-E Inks before they were removed. It has been left in the corner of the room since Mid-September and we just want it out of the way now. I know I have to put a price on to comply with the rules but I don't really know what it's worth - lets say offers around £250? but to be completely honest - ANY OFFERS will be seriously considered.
More info about the fault:-
As some of you may remember last year around September \ October our Epson 7890 wouldn't print properly any more. It started with the light magenta nozzle check constantly having one line missing - but as the weeks went on the line turned into 3-4 lines.
We got told so many different things to try from replacing dampers, pumps, capping stations, something or other assembly units and probably sparkly rainbow wings for all I can remember - we didn't have time for any of this as we were gearing up towards Christmas. In the end we managed to get our orders printed by a fantastic member of these forums which in turn enabled us to buy a new Epson 7890 in December.
I'm not going to lie or hide this at all - there is a very real possibility this may need a new print head. The initial problem was a poor nozzle check with light magenta but as said previously it has since been turned off and left in the corner of a room since mid-September.
To be brutally honest I just don't have the time or the inclination to repair this myself and we don't really have the room to have two up and running now anyway. We just want this shifting asap so we will seriously consider ANY OFFER!
