After printing one page, Epson ET-2760 lost contact with the computer. I figured I'dprint with the Epson XP-970. No problem. It printed fine. Then I wanted to print on a glossy, sticky vinyl sheet. Here's where it gets weird. Although I had the glossy paper on top, the printer reached below that and printed on a plain sheet of paper. Then it ejected both the printed page and the vinyl. It did that three times, and I gave up.

Also, I can't turn off my flashlight. I have to remove the battery. Maybe I should move to a different room since the furniture in here keeps moving around, and books keep flying off the shelves.

Halloween is just a few days off - maybe you’re having some early spiritual visits, Jerry.

Just know Jerry, that I finally learned that I needed a color inkjet printer, for my teaching needs. I tried Canon and HP, with both being a disaster. With the Epson rep standing in the MicroCenter store, we talked about the Epson XP-970 printer. Installed, and it prints perfectly. I commend you on the one you've purchased too.

I had the same problem recently with my Epson ET-4650 printer where it didn’t print on the glossy sheet but rather the plain paper sheet below it. I took all the paper out, turned them around and reinserted them. That solved the problem for some reason.

The one thing I find amazing (not a happy "amazing") is that the XP-970 accepts only one sheet of photo paper in the rear slot. I'm not used to that from previous photo printers. However, seeing the quality of the print, I can accept one-sheet-at-a-time.

I use them for customizing ukuleles. I have more, but you get the idea. I've also use them to print logos to put on uke cases.

I don't know how removeable they are, but they seem to stick forever.


Very unique.
Very interesting.

What happens if you take out all the paper and load the tray with a stack of vinyl sheets only?

Hey Jerry, ever think it might not be the equipment?

What kind of applications would the sticky vinyl be used for? Quasi permanent?

I can stick pictures (and paper labels) on foam board with rubber cement and remove them when done, reuse the foam board.
I think Jerry's examples are good.
I just never had the requirement for the vinyl sheets.
