The Framers Forum

Hi
I have a couple of items that I might like to sell but not sure if I can on here. Also I would like to use them if I could still. I will explain now.

I have an ACER 35mm slide/neg scanner it is a good one and cost a bit. Used it often but I went Mac and the machine needs a SCSI connection, you can see where I'm going with this? I have thought about converters but then I have the trouble with software updates to get it to work. Is it worth me wasting time on this? Also it did not scan 120 and 5x4 so I used a flat bed. Can anyone advise on the situation? should I sell and buy new that scans all the neg sizes or try and convert it?

I also have an A3 printer Epson R1800 with roll paper holder. Epson make some good printers and this was an example but the ink is cost of a small island. It needs purging as not used for a while and I get my printing done else where as cheaper and less hassle. Anyway does anyone know if you can print vinyl for t-shirts on the machine? if you can I may keep it but if not I will sell it as it works but just needs some purging and cleaning. Do the inkwell systems work out better?

Cheers Aaron

Aaron, I had the same thing with an A3 epson untill I spoke to them and they said it requires printing an A4 sheet in colour each week to keep it working properly.

Just a thought

If you were happy with the results from your Acer scanner when using it with a windows machine then I would get yourself a SCSI USB adapter and then download the driver software from Vuescan. They support many scanners including Acer/BenQ and offer a free trial.

Don't know anything about vinyl t-shirt printing but maybe you could ask on the T-Shirt Forum?

Thanks for the advice. Can I sell those items on here?
Cheers

Can't see why not, but to be sure, just check with Admin.

Since these are items which may be of interest to other framers, there is no reason why you should not advertise these on the forums Adverts/sales/wants section. Feel free to go ahead.
