Hi guys, we purchased an SCF 500 last November and ever since then we've had nothing but problems with it. Our first issue was 'Pizza wheel' marks creating black dots across the image, we dropped Epson a message and they sneak out an engineer, unfortunately his response was basically 'Buy the rip software', which I couldn't believe actually wasnt included.
We tried numerous things, power flushing (Which seems to use about half of the ink each time which is about £30 worth) different media, pattern gaps size, having it lay down less black ink, thick paper settings you name it, we couldn't get results.
So the printer basically sat idle for a few months, printing the odd Coaster and mug which would could produce without the dark colours leading to the pizza Marks.
We've recently decided to start printing face masks, since Epson Edge is about £800 we decided to trial Printfab, reducing the black seemed to work for a week or two and gave us enough scope to print some good designs, but now the printer has another problem

Its started to produce white dots through the centre of the page, they seem to parallel down the page whether it's in portrait or landscape. I'm going to try the Cadlink software above as suggested by Xpres, but I'm very close to throwing this bloody thing in the river.
