Description:


Through the linked pieces of The Coral Sea, Patti Smith honors her comrade-in-arms Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989). She tells the story of a man on an ocean journey to see the Southern Cross, who is reflecting on his life and fighting the illness that is consuming him. Metaphoric and dreamy, this tale of transformation arises from Smith's knowledge of Mapplethorpe from a young man to a mature artist; his close relationship with patron and friend, Sam Wagstaff; his years surviving AIDS; and his ascent into death. The Coral Sea is Smith's lyrically compelling recasting of her grief to recapture Mapplethorpe's life in the past and his future in his art. Rich in evocative details, it shows the man beneath the persona.

This edition features a new introduction and new material by Smith.

Works great for ET-2720 - no key needed for this model either.
Number of Items: 2
This worked great for my ET2720, and the price is exceptional compared to what you could pay to have Epson complete this process. I’ll admit that it took me a while to complete it, maybe 25 minutes, but that is because I was being cautious. When I do it again, it would likely take 5-10 minutes having already done it once. I did read a helpful review and followed some of their advice, and that might have added some extra time. Not sure if it is important to download the driver that the .zip file directs you to, but it is from Jan 2025 and is outdated so you might be regressing to an older driver version in order to complete this process. I’ll add some things to note: The driver software in the .zip - it is just a list of URLs to an Epson driver download for different printer models in an Excel document. Make sure you have a way to open a .xlsx file. You don’t need a reset key for all printer models. I didn’t need one for my ET-2720. Each download from their website has different instructions in the .zip - so they should tell you if you will need one or not and you can contact them ahead of time to get it. That’s another thing. Don’t waste your time with the instructions in the box. Just use them for the simple ink pad replacement steps and how to download the .zip from their site. Then just follow the .pdf that is included in the .zip from there on out. Solid choice for this solution!

Awesome directions on install process. Printer USB cable is NEEDED to complete counter reset.
Number of Items: 2
These Gubffon waste ink pad replacement tanks are amazing. The company has gone above and beyond with the written directions, right down to the counter reset online instructions, they are easy to follow, plain text with clearly defined photographic images. Tank install literally took about five minutes, counter reset took a bit longer, but as my computer decided to do updates, typical, so I am unsure of the exact timing. Once installation was completed, I needed to do printer maintenance, but mainly due to my printer having not been used in quite a while. My Epsom 2720 is running like new. Would highly recommend this product. ***A USB printer cable is needed for counter reset***

Trouble with Website Info
Number of Items: 2
Their ad is misleading. There are not '2 Reset Keys' included in the package. Had some communication problems with GUBFFON but once I learned that you do not need sperate Reset Keys on a Epson ET-2800, the program download they sent allows you to reset your counter for the Waste Ink and everything is fine after that. It solved the problem I was having and they were generous with their follow up. Kodo's to them for their work in China. The Waste Ink Pad replacement is working fine.
