So today I literally dusted off the big Epson Photo R2880 only to find that it had been neglected for so long that it needed more than just dusting.

I had to clean the rollers, run the utility to clean the ink heads several times, replace all the cartridges. . .

Fortunately a couple of years ago I’d stocked up on cartridges so I had a bunch available.

It’s still a bit wonky, the feeding is hit and miss and sometimes needs some prodding, but I finally got good colors back. . .

A good reminder that as the Neil Young song goes, Rust Never Sleeps.

Equipment needs to be used to stay in good working order. . .
