    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    I agree with you. I'm not saying that it's mandatory to have a measured and carefully averaged profile for each paper, if the difference is below visibility. I would be pretty ok if only a single profile for glossy and alike were provided. It would also simplify printer settings. However, if...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    I may agree, but then why providing all these profiles? Just give a glossy and a matte profile. Shouldn't a real measurement show at least a minimal difference? This is the case for instance for Canson RC paper profiles, Glossy vs Satin vs Luster. Very similar but not identical as EPSON's. This...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    Just for curiosity, I compared the ICC profile provided by EPSON using and Hex editor and ColorSync Utility. All Glossy, Semigloss and Luster profiles are identical apart for the name of the file. I strongly doubt that all these profiles are from real profiling...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    Yes, but this is the point. They DO sell Premium Luster). They DO provide an ICC profile. But then there is no Premium Luster type? It seems to be a sort of bug, or some weird commercial strategy poorly implemented (i.e. at some point they decided to reserve Luster only to Pro printers, but...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    What you say it's very clear and reasonable. I would have expect such a reply from Epson. Probably they decided to simplify driver option and left only Semigloss. Nothing wrong, but they should say that in the manual. Otherwise why do they provide a profile for a paper with no suitable media...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    Update from interaction with Italian EPSON support: completely useless and really disappointing! The first level support continued to say that Luster paper is not supported (first everywhere, then only in Italy, then again everywhere), even if we know that several users have luster in their...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    I'm starting to think it has been removed for some reasons everywhere. I tried to install the US driver but it seems exactly the same, and even tried to set the OS to English language with no luck. The firmware version is the same as listed on the japanese EPSON site, but no luster in the...

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    Ok, so do you suggest to use Ultra Glossy as paper type? Actually I would like to use Canson Luster paper, for which they provide an IICC profile and prescribe to use Epson Ultra Premium Luster as paper type

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    Hi all, I'm new in the forum and have the same problem with Luster media type missing in the driver and in the printer. Anyone found a solution? I asked Epson support in Italy and first level support told that Luster is not supported. Since I know that this is not true, I reported back the page...
