Today I had the time to refill a set of refillable auto reset cartridges with original Epson Claria HD ink extracted from ecotank ink from bottled 106 (CMYK) and 114 (G). These inks are proven to be very fade resistance. To obtain the light versions the CMG inks are diluted with my Clear Ink...
After my recently purchased i1 Pro 2 device, I made this 648 patch target to be printed on a single sheet of A4 (210x297 mm). Optimized to be used with the dedicated ruler/jigg of the I1 Pro 2 device. The modified target has a clear black marker line with a white area on the paper surface to...
It was absolutely a bargain: an almost never used (was a backup for a photo studio), including the reading panel/jigg for making printer profiles. Unfortunately no license to do printer profile, but happily using Argyl
lCMS.
I downloaded Qimage Ultimate to test its new features and see if it is interested enough to update from my very old version (2008), but I was surprised I could not get it handle my home-brewed printer profiles well. Somehow the grey images tends to turn sepia withing the same file, while the...
Today I used Calibrite CCStudio to make a profile (BW optimized method using the 1 + 2 target procedure), between my older Colormunki Photo and my newly purchased second hand Colormunki Photo (Thanks to @palombian ).
Printer: Epson SC-P800
paper: Netbit Glossy 300 gsm (Aldi Belgium)
inkset...
How to solve this problem ? Firstly I thought it was caused by my home-brewed gray ink, but after exchanged the cartridge with original Epson gray ink, the problem still exists. I already tried the soaking method with a piece of paper towel folded and moisturized with my solution, but with no...
Hi everybody,
Would it be possible to calibrate my scanner using a target that has been printed with a printer profile that was firstly generated by scanning by my Colormunki ? So I make an accurate printer profile with my Colormunki Photo, with this profile I print a target taking care all the...
My Epson WF-7525 is almost end of life and has to be replaced. Since I need the possibility to print A3 I was looking at these two printers fitting my needs, Both print at a speed of 25 ppm BW and 12 ppm colour (same Precision Core print head), but one is with built-in CISS (Ecotank), the other...
Yesterday I found some time to experiment with pigment ink in my Epson XP-15000.
It is known Epson printer can deal with both dye and pigment ink even the smallest 1.5 pl droplet size printers like the Epson 1500W. For this experiment I used CMY pigment ink for the HP printer (bubbljet...
Recently I wanted to join the facebook group of José Rodriguez's facebook group about printing. It seems to be a private group, but it has now been a few weeks ago and no responsce from José (Jtoolman photo printing techie). Are there other members here of this group ? Not sure if @jtoolman can...
I discovered that ArgyllCMS created printer profiles tend to use composite black when BPC is checked. This is most visible on pigment printers like the Epson SC-P800. When BPC is unchecked the black area is much more darker and intenser when BPC is disabled, thus improving contrast of the...
I have a particular problem: I tried to print my ArgyllCMS created targets in Photoshop 2021, but when I choose: let printer manage color (and inside the printer driver: not color management), Photoshop still offers to me to choose rendering intent: is this omitted or does this affects the...
For some testing I am looking for empty original Epson XP-15000 cartridges (378XL, 478XL EU version) with seal clips included. Preferably inside the BeNeLux, France or Germany region.
I just tried my resetter from aliexpress on my original setup cartridges, which I managed to refill up to full (27 g) like an original 478XL cartridge and it works:
The only side effect is the original cartridges are seen as aftermarket cartridges (despite being original Epson !!!) and you...
I want to share my experience with my clear ink base I made for Epson printers (see my post about my new Epson XP-15000 A3+ printer). I first started to use this CIB for my Epson 1500W printer to make light magenta/cyan from concentrated CMYK ink from Fujifilm Drylabs. Several years ago there...
Today I tested my Clear Ink Base I posted at the Epson section and I was brave enough to refill some old 570 cartridges who where completely dried up with a mix of 30 parts of Fujifilm Drylabs ink and 70 parts of my CIB mixture and put them into my Canon IP-7250 printer for the magenta and cyan...
Yesterday evening I installed my aliexpress refillable cartridges I ordered for my Epson XP-15000 printer. There are a lot of offers, but most of them use ARC (auto reset chips), which I do not like due to the problem it is not possible to reset the chips at will when several cartridges are...
After refilling my EpsonP800 several times I discovered the LLB ink has a particular high usage that does not correspond at all with the ink level detection by the printer. The first time it caused air being forced into the tubing system (as the ink level still says about 40% full, but was...
A friend of mine asked me to suggest a good printer with refillable cartridges and I said to him: buy an Epson WF-2860 printer: printer, scanner, fax, duplex printing, refillable cartridges available and user replaceable waste ink tank. Everything fine until I bought him a set of refillable...
