It is so frustrating and annoying. A solution is finally found. I just tape (I use laminating paper material)as in the photo below. Remember to apply tension to the tape.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDetUcGdl0keBseTa_oAmHl5CGA1spYrCCtnD-tBlHYb1NyMqT536PRSNlSYDomIrKLIkkgP4rgTn7HkG_SsdUwD6nhyphenhyphenE37DkI4HIOGRUDlXn8SdUCf5NnKXXZ4SqKoOHLc82S/s4000/IMG_20200903_231008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDetUcGdl0keBseTa_oAmHl5CGA1spYrCCtnD-tBlHYb1NyMqT536PRSNlSYDomIrKLIkkgP4rgTn7HkG_SsdUwD6nhyphenhyphenE37DkI4HIOGRUDlXn8SdUCf5NnKXXZ4SqKoOHLc82S/s320/IMG_20200903_231008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18396044771460580089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17602911.post-2473285265724760702019-05-01T17:14:00.002+08:002019-05-01T17:14:59.783+08:00Epson SureLab D700 Printhead issue and my solutionI am sure that many user of this printer found that the printhead is hopelessly problematic. I have changed two printheads since I bought it. And it is not cheap! So, I will document it here what I learnt in order to extend the life of the printhead. The information are shared to me by the service engineer.<br />
<br />
1. If you use power clean, do it once only. More power clean will damage the head;<br />
2. Always use normal clean. If the head doesn't seem to improve after two cleaning, switch it off and let it rest for a few hours or overnight;<br />
3. Print as often as you can;<br />
4. Don't switch off the printer even if you are not using it;<br />
<br />
Practicing the above, I found that clogged printhead is less of an issue.<br />
<br />
Last tip:<br />
If the paper never load properly after the paper had unloaded, just use a scissors to snip off a triangle piece from both side of the paper.<br />
<br />

The printer is now back to normal.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend, I installed Window 10 updated. It gave me the following problems:<br />
<br />
1. Communication to the printer via USB keeps breaking and I can no longer print;<br />
2. Photoshop CC 2018 (Latest version) is half dead! I mean, it keeps crashing and gives strange errors. Also, Photoshop will hang for no reason.<br />
<br />
To resolve the problems, I have now rolled back to my older version. So, my printer is now working again. I have not tested Photoshop. Should be ok.<br />

So please do scroll to the end.)<br />
<br />
Epson probably made one of the nicest colour photo printer for small time professional use. It is small enough to be fitted into a small office and it is fast enough to probably meet any demanding print job for small businesses.<br />
<br />
I am probably the only freelance photographer using D700 printer in Sarawak. It was totally free from problem for the first one year of operation. However, problem started after one year of usage. It keeps complaining of clogged print head and the printed images had fine "scratch lines". See this two images:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEfSscEqvpfX41ogQT_2pZNSjTHR_cwWJ_OuuiRDPTvblG46H__P8JJQcK3aqIDjJwICY2Meo0ZGcryM3JaiF4kU2WX8p6UEnigGjVKZ-U-QWjFufwI_qWKywWALvGZe62YYdN/s1600/002-cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEfSscEqvpfX41ogQT_2pZNSjTHR_cwWJ_OuuiRDPTvblG46H__P8JJQcK3aqIDjJwICY2Meo0ZGcryM3JaiF4kU2WX8p6UEnigGjVKZ-U-QWjFufwI_qWKywWALvGZe62YYdN/s320/002-cropped.jpg" width="126" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The more I cleaned the print head, the worse the problem becomes. So serious that it gave me stress and depression! Calling the service engineer seems to take forever as I am an hour flying time from the nearest service centre. So, I have to do problem analysis myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I have done so far:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Head cleaning is not much use other than consuming ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Switch the printer off overnight. The problem may disappear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Switch the printer on and off may solve the problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I changed the print setting to "fine". Problem went away for a few weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the above three scenarios, I am convinced that it has nothing to do with clogged print heads. So, I did some problem solving analysis:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Today, the printer made the most disgusting print ever. See the right portion of the picture above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I noticed for while that my ink level for cyan and black is low. I refreshed my cyan cartridge and the cyan pattern is now perfect. However, the black ink pattern can't be worse. See pattern 1 below.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0G6mrtmPpDtRNbatSRXVJUEoHo2XZDktnI27LZLYV7vFMPrg4L1h-STAbAkrr0r_gRn-hWTNqgPQjqjagZ1AH3RR4_gag2-BZ1u480TNiSTz3kM7KVR2zkrs4kiX1oBzAc4ii/s1600/001-enhanced.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0G6mrtmPpDtRNbatSRXVJUEoHo2XZDktnI27LZLYV7vFMPrg4L1h-STAbAkrr0r_gRn-hWTNqgPQjqjagZ1AH3RR4_gag2-BZ1u480TNiSTz3kM7KVR2zkrs4kiX1oBzAc4ii/s320/001-enhanced.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So, I refreshed the black cartridge and without doing anything, the subsequent three print patterns seem to be getting better and better (no head cleaning in between test print pattern). This is inconsistent with a clogged print head! Since I am running out of patience, I switched the printer on and off. And indeed, the final print pattern (not shown above) is perfect and when I did my test print, the picture is now perfect (see above left portion). My conclusion:<br />
<br />
The so called clogged print head is just a false alarm. It has to do with ink level in the cartridge and probably the Epson design of the ink pump is not that good! If you have same issue like me, try to install a new cartridge and see if the problem goes away. Please do share your experience in the comment here.<br />
<br />
Please note that, above is just one of the issues faced by many users of this printer. My issue seems to be related to low ink level. Many others who have almost new ink cartridge also give the same "clogged printer head" problem.<br />
<br />
<b>Update: 18-Sept-2017</b><br />
<br />
One fine day, I found ink all over the table! Now, that was big issue! I called the service engineer and they came to change my ink pumps, all of them. I have already suspected that the ink pumps were not behaving. After changing the ink pumps, the printer started to print again but for the black ink, it showed "scratch line". On the test print, it looks perfect but not on actual photo printing.<br />
<br />
Two months later, I decided to change the print head. Thanks God, now everything is back to normal.<br />
<br />
Total cost for changing the print head and pump is about RM2500. It is not cheap to maintain this baby. If it is not for convenient and my own ability to maintain the print quality, I would have thrown this printer out.<br />
<br />
<b>Update: 05 Dec 2017</b><br />
<br />
My humble recommendation for users of this printer:<br />
<br />
1. You must switch on often and don't leave it idle for a prolong period. Even if you are not printing.<br />
2. If you see any line on the test pattern, and the problem won't go away no matter how many wash, just leave it on over night and try again. The problem generally goes away.<br />
3. Switch off the auto detection of clogged print head. (May not always be a good idea.)<br />
4. Keep the printer clean.<br />
5. The biggest annoyance now is that the paper loading is always problematic. I was taught that you snip off a wedge shape with a scissor on both side of the paper and it should always work.<br />
<br />
If you have not bought this printer and you are thinking about it, ask yourself these few questions:<br />
1. Why not outsource printing? I don't want because they are in-consistence with quality<br />
2. Are you ready to spend about US$600 a year for maintenance? I am hoping that my pump and print head are now ok.<br />
<br />
My opinion is that the print head, head cap and pumps are flawed in design. Other than that, this is a beautiful printer!<br />
<br />
Update: 16-Sept-2018<br />
The print head suddenly died! It was changed out on 2nd Oct 2018 after printing just 10K photos.<br />
<br />
I was told that it is best to leave the printer switched on ALL the time. That a print shop in town probably (my estimate) printed more than 200K photos before a print head died.<br />
<br />
Update: 22 Nov 2018<br />
My service technician told me NOT to do POWER HEAD CLEANING. It will damage the print head. Normal head cleaning should be sufficient. If the problem doesn't go away after three times, just let it rest for 30 minutes. If problem persist, you may consider switching on and off or just leave the machine switched on overnight.<br />
<br />
For my machine, I have replaced the print head twice, changed all the pumps and it is now working fine.<br />
<br />
Only outstanding issue: Why the paper never load properly? So to overcome this issue, I will always cut off a wedge shape at the edge of the paper if I wanted to load paper and do printing. I also set the sleep timer to a longer period so that it doesn't go to sleep too fast. If anyone has a solution to this issue, please do drop a comment.<br />

After you learn all the finer detail, use the one below for day a to day guide.<br />
So, if you want to skip the introduction and explanation , go straight to this one below. But, I do recommend you to go through the introduction first especially if you are a first timer!<br />

In anything we do, the results shows how dedicated we are to carry out our duty. In my last 30+ years of working life, I came across many people who need constant "pushing" and encouragement. They seems to have no motivation at all. Example, when one part of the process chain breaks down, the whole process no longer works. This may have severe consequences to the company or causes severe delay to project. If there are such person, it is better to leave the job than to cause problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When coming to photography, it is my passion since I was very young. In the pre-75's, the retouching pencil and easel are the only tools to make any portrait nice. I don't like it (because it is very tedious) and hence, I asked my poor brother to do it all the time. Now, photography and Photoshop or image editing software are part and parcel of any final photo products. The result is either for better or for worse depending on the viewer. I came across a first prize winner and the sponsor simply refused to use the photo in their advertisement or printing for the simple reason that it is no longer real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, when I was commissioned to take a group photo, the normal venue was suddenly changed so that they can be more with nature. Worse is that the sun was shining brightly and there was hardly any good place to shoot so that the background is nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first photo below is the original before editing. The steel structure is not very nice. The background is a little washout. So, this is when Photoshop comes useful. </div>

After editing...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see the difference in the photo? If I have no passion in what I am doing, I would just print the original and blame it on the lousy venue! So, when you deliver your photos, does your client gives you a thumb-up?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Someone called me "big event shooter" because I was involved in taking important big events for large companies in Miri. If you need my service, do not hesitate to call me. My fees is extremely reasonable. If the event is important enough to be recorded, you need someone who have good camera and equipment and most importantly, knows how to use them. Just call me on +6012 8782007.</div>

Talking about class reunion, it brought back lots of memories. They can be good or bad. And lots of surprises and also lots of laughter. It is as if a long lost brother or sister is finally found!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was invited by my ex-colleague to help her record her reunion on camera. This reunion reminded me of my own reunion a couple of years ago. The sentiment and mood are exactly the same. So, if you have not have a reunion, you can consider to have one!</div>

The surprises are always the same:<br />
1. The worst performer in class is now a "big shot";<br />
2. The naughtiest in class will still be naughty but could be very successful!<br />
3. You will be surprised how many childhood buddies you don't recognise!<br />
4. Recall of the naughtiest thing you did!<br />
5. A time for apologies or forgiveness.<br />
6. Well kept secret finally out in the open!<br />
<br />
But one thing we must all remember, though we may have grown up, behave yourself!<br />
<br />
BTW, I normally shoot event, actual day wedding, portrait and graduation photos. My fees is definitely affordable even though I shoot for Shell and Petronas.Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18396044771460580089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17602911.post-6357833451690381212014-11-25T09:09:00.003+08:002014-11-25T09:09:59.356+08:00Pujut Bypass opening todayToday, a new road will be opened, ie, Pujut Bypass. This means that road users from Permy can go straight to Medan Kerbau directly, cutting the jam and extra distance. This also means that people wanting to go to the airport will probably cut travel time by another 10 minutes.<br />

This gate will be opened for good this morning. But drivers must still be careful because the construction site is just beside the road and I expect people will be walking around.<br />
<br />
One interesting note, I hope the photo above is the correct one because when I went to the site, a worker were blur and only said that the road will open this morning and then he was also pointing to the next road!Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18396044771460580089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17602911.post-12215106655947352802014-11-20T12:51:00.001+08:002014-11-20T12:51:10.572+08:00My new toysAfter a long hiatus (have been very busy after retirement), I think I just have to update this blog as I think it is an important event in our life! Believe it or not, we bought a low end smartphone. Nothing to sing about as compared to those having a thousand ringgit iPhone 6, etc, this is just a humble RedMi 1S 8GB costing just over RM400 from Lazada. The idea is to be able to access Wifi and I think Maxis or whoever will probably be disappointed if I tell them that I have no intention to purchase their "packages" yet unless there is a very good reason for me to do so. Everything need to be cost justified before subscribing or buying.<br />

They look genuine but they are actually scam!! One from job4u.com and this is a scam site! They use the email address: webrecruitment@job4u.com<br />
<br />
How do I know that this is a scam? He signed off as:<br />

<br />
BUT.... the reply email is webrecruitment@job4u.com. No company will use an email address with different domain name, ie, job4u against Adecco!<br />
<br />
If in doubt, do a search in google!<br />

X-ray showed that I have disc problem in my neck.<br />
Unless you have suffered such pain, which I hope you should never, you would not understand it. When people shared with me about their pain, I can only pity them and not knowing how to help them.<br />
I went to do physio in GH and one of the therapists there understands it. She pressed "here and there" and my pain dissipated but return again later, but with less intensity. After a few visit, the pain is completely gone.<br />
I asked where she learned this art of "pressing the points", she simply said, it is from the internet! Ok, for those who are more interested, there are a couple of books about this type of pain I am suffering from. Just check out "Trigger point" in google. There are two famous "Red Book". Just in case you are really interested, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Myofascial-Pain-Dysfunction-Trigger-Manual/dp/0683083635/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y">click here</a> for the book title in Amazon.<br />

class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>把野豬吃掉的》。”野豬不信,於是同樣的事情發生。<br /><br />最後,在山洞裡,一隻獅子在一堆白骨之間,滿意的剔著牙讀著兔子<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>交給它的文章,題目:“《一隻動物,能力大小關鍵要看你的老闆是<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>誰》。 ”<br /><br />評:說的是員工的技巧,其實也可以用在那些初創企業的創業者身上<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>,因為在市場上,相對很多大型企業來說,就是獅子和兔子的關係,<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>如何與他們合作相處或者說不被競爭者吃掉也是一門很深學問。<br /><br />這隻兔子有次不小心告訴了他的一個兔子朋友,這消息逐漸在森林中<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>傳播;獅子知道後非常生氣,他告訴兔子:“如果這個星期沒有食物<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>進洞,我就吃你。”於是兔子繼續在洞口寫文章。<br /><br />一隻小鹿走過來,“兔子,你在幹什麼啊?”“寫文章!”“什麼題<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>目?”“《淺談兔子是怎樣吃掉狼》”! “哈哈,這個事情全森林都知道啊,你別胡弄我了,我是不會進洞的<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>”,兔子曰:“我馬上要退休了,獅子說要找個人頂替我,難道你不<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>想這篇文章的兔子變成小鹿麼?”小鹿想了想,終於忍不住誘惑,跟<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>隨兔子走進洞裡。過了一會,兔子獨自走出山洞,繼續寫文章。一隻<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>小馬走過來,同樣是事情發生了。最後,在山洞裡,一隻獅子在一堆<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>白骨之間,滿意的剔著牙讀著兔子交給它的文章,題目是:《如何發<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>展下線動物為老闆提供食物》。<br /><br />評:這裡其實談的是一個欺騙手段,並沒有講發展動物下線去提供食<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>物,但是這個題目應該是很有啟發的,可以改成《如何發展合作夥伴<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>為企業提供食物》。沒有合作夥伴企業是做不大的,現在是競爭協作<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>時代,每個企業不可能把所有的事情做完,必須依靠合作夥伴才能找<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>到企業充足的食物<br /><br />隨著時間的推移,獅子越長越大,兔子的食物已遠遠不能填飽肚子。<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>一日,他告訴兔子:“我的食物量要加倍,例如:原來4天一隻小鹿<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>,現在要2天一隻,如果一周之內改變不了局面我就吃你。於是,兔<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>子離開洞口,跑進森林深處,他見到一隻狼:“你相信兔子能輕鬆吃<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>掉狼嗎? ”狼哈哈大笑,表示不信,於是兔子把狼領進山洞。過了一會,兔子<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>獨自走出山洞,繼續進入森林深處,這回他碰到一隻野豬----“<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>你相信兔子能輕鬆吃掉野豬嗎? ”野豬不信,於是同樣的事情發生了。原來森林深處的動物並不知道<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>兔子和獅子的故事!最後,在山洞裡,一隻獅子在一堆白骨之間,滿<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>意的剔著牙讀著兔子交給它的文章,題目是:《如何實現由坐商到行<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>商的轉型為老闆提供更多的食物》。<br /><br />這裡的啟示是尋找自己的客戶資源在哪裡<br /><br />時間飛快,轉眼之間,兔子在森林裡的名氣越來越大,因為大家都知<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>道它有一個很歷害的老闆。這隻小兔開始橫行霸道,欺上欺下,沒有<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>動物敢惹。它時時想起和烏龜賽跑的羞辱,它找到烏龜說:“三天之<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>內,見我老闆!”揚長而去。烏龜難過的哭了,這時卻碰到了一位獵<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>人,烏龜把這事告訴了他。獵人哈哈大笑,於是森林裡發生了一件重<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>大事情,獵人披著獅子皮和烏龜一起在吃兔子火鍋,地下丟了半張紙<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>片歪歪扭扭的寫著:山外青山樓外樓,強中還有強中手啊! ! !<br /><br />如果做企業猖狂到自己都不知道自己是誰的時候,離死亡也就不遠了<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>,我們的企業還是“兔子”不是“獅子”的時候,不管你的靠山再強<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>大,你都不能把自己太當回事情了,居安思危。<br /><br />在很長一段時間里森林裡恢復了往日的寧靜,兔子吃狼的故事似乎快<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>要被大家忘記了。不過一隻年輕的老虎在聽說了這個故事後,被激發<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>了靈感,於是他抓住了一隻羚羊,對羚羊說,如果你可以像以前的兔<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>子那樣為我帶來食物那我就不吃你。於是,羚羊無奈的答應了老虎,<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>而老虎也悠然自得的進了山洞。可是三天過去了,也沒有見羚羊領一<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>隻動物進洞。他實在憋不住了,想出來看看情況。羚羊早已不在了,<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>他異常憤怒。正在他暴跳如雷的時候突然發現了羚羊寫的一篇文章題<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>目是:《想要做好老闆先要懂得怎樣留住員工》!<br /><br />企業再好,待遇在高,也不能忽視員工,也要善待員工,再偉大的理<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>想、再好的項目,你一個人不可能做大的,想做大事的老闆和只想賺<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>錢的老闆,那是不同的;想做大事的員工和只想求生活的員工也是不<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>同的;如何吃人而不被別人吃,如何幫人吃人而不被別人吃-。社會<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display:
