We are about to purchase a used Epson 4000 for making film and my manager ran across a thread somewhere about the 3000 not holding register when printing on roll film. He is now in freak out mode. If you have used the 4000 with roll film I would like to hear about your experience.

Peace and Grace,
Thomas

We have a 4800 and use only roll film. The 4000 series printers have a much better roll feed mechanism. You should not have any issues, plus it has an automatic cutter.

4xxx series printers have much better transport mechanisms.

Never let the film PULL off the roll. Always unspool the film so the printer only has to pull the weight of the film.

This 7600 has the film unspooled into the handy hammock under the printer and as it printed, I regularly unspool more.
