    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    The question at the end is how much you are willing to pay more for an incremental performance gain of the T54C inks. You are the user, and you are in quite a good situation - you can select between various good inks - 106 - 114 - T54C , and you can balance price against performance. You can as...

    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    Please be aware that the Epson 107 inks in the ET-18100 have a somewhat lower fade resistance than the 106 inks which in this case is reflected in the pricing. The dfiferences are measurable but not very significant e.g. compared to 3rd party inks. I did some testing a while ago...

    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    I'm not running my ET-8550 with the 114 inks but with the inks 106 for the ET-7750 which I previously used. I'm doing this not for reasons of bronzing or similar effects but for simple pricing reasons - 106 inks are at about at 10€ in Germany and 114 inks at 13.50€. Only the 114 gray ink is...

    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    I don't think that I can be of further help, I work with Windows , and I'm doing a reduction of 10% when printing on the Sihl 280g ; I cannot compare test prints printed on a Mac system. I see bronzing if I don't reduce the ink density.

    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    That's pretty bad that you don't have such control over the ink density, that'a typical adjustment on higher end and large format printers. There is just one vairable to can give a try - the paper type itself - run your test print with a lower quality paper selection like standard glossy or...

    Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

    There are several things to consider in this case - which color(s) is affected - photoblack only ? do you see a difference with bronzing when you compare a print printed yesterday against a print just recently - the bronzing effect may dry away overnight or reduce the effect. You may do...

    Canon TM-255 opinions on longevity and color performance?

    I'm not familiar with the options and performance of the TM255 vs. the TC-21 printer and which refill options are available. The TC-21 comes with a sheet feeder for A4 and A3 paper which might be of interest for some users. It should be possible to correct color tints via the color adjustments...

    Epson EcoTank ET-8550: Pigment instead of Dye inks

    Most of the discussion of longevity of dye vs. pigment inks omits the significant role of the paper types used for all that testing. I extracted information from the linked test reports how strong the paper impact actually is - this with OEM material only...

    How to use an unlicensed i1Pro spectro with i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS

    I galnced through your detailed guide to use X-Rite and ArgyllCMS together which I like very much. There is just a small correction necessary about in the middle of the posting (depending on your version of the i1Pro i1Profiler will export in only M0 (UV-cut): The M0 mode uses the UV light of...
