The cores were slightly to small so I wrapped a few rolls of tape round the out side of them to bulk them out a bit. Took no time, and well worth the effort. Great tip.

I made adapers out of an old paper core, and the caps from a 3" YES, it was worth the time. I also build my own engines and suspension for my car, and that was worth the time as well. My old HP plotters dont care about the slack, but the 3" core with 100' of paper wont fit the back of the printer. I've had luck just installing "closet brackets" on the printer stand under the stock roll, and hanging the 3" core on a piece of PVC. Its rough sometimes to get the printer feed happy, but once lined up it spools great. Now I have a 2" AND a 3" roll all queued up on the printer. Yep, guy is right.

It took me less than hour to do it. I don't know about you but 175.00 an hour is far less that what I normally get for an hours work. Yep. It took me less than hour to do it.

Maybe you have not used it much yet? I have not been able to find much info on this printer and my 2 epson 9600 are about to expire.

I tried multiple times to get it to operate properly on my 3" cores. It would feed in the machine and print fine. The problem I was having was the roll was never balanced correctly so it would not unroll uniformly. Instead one side was overweighted, and it would unroll excess paper which would droop down and contact the black coat-hanger looking things (canon calls them ejection support). It would pooch out and risk marring the surface of the unprinted paper and hit the exiting paper. Also when this excess was just hanging there, it would not spool back up properly when the printer reversed paper directions (this would exacerbate the problem). There may be a difference between cores or papers (or just operators), but my ipf8000 would never work like it would with a 2" core on the 2" holder. This was a 15 minute fix and now I don't have any worries. I just put it on before the core and it's like having a 3" roll holder. Maybe it was just me or my setup. Perhaps other people will report their experiences. Hey Charles,

It works perfectly. I have no feed problems whatsoever with my ipf 8000.
