eP s o n R1800/2400
e Epson R1800 and R2400 are pigment based printers that are capable of printing film posi-
tives on media up to 13” wide. e printable area is 12.5” in width by 44” in length. Below are
some tips to assist in printing with the Epson R1800 or R2400 printer and FastRIP.
NOTE: For best results when printing film positives, we recommend that you only use FastINK along with
FastPOSITIVE WP film.
in k
e Epson R1800 and R2400 printers are shipped from the factory with UltraChrome (Pig-
ment) inks. UltraChrome ink will NOT work for printing film positives. UltraChrome ink will
NOT adhere or dry on film transparencies.
However, U.S. Screen Print & Inkjet Technology has developed a dye based ink that will work
with your printer when printing transparencies. is ink is called FastINK and it can be used
to replace the UltraChrome Black cartridge. e Black ink is the only cartridge that need be
replaced since film positives are only printed in black.

screen making. ese are selected under the Device Options or Advanced menus in the Properties
Menu.
