    Decent, affordable RC papers?

    Hi everyone, I am looking for a new source of good quality, affordable RC-papers in Europe (Germany). My current supplier , Euro-Print on Ebay, has decided to increase its prices by 50% which makes their offers far less attractive. I used to pay about 22 Euro for a pack of 50 A3+ sheets...

    Magenta banding in Photo RPM after "warm-up"

    Hello fellow printer addicts, I am experiencing a rather strange issue with my Epson PX720 (basically a miniature Epson 1430): when printing in Photo RPM mode, I get random magenta stripes in medium-gray areas. They are barely visible when I print right after switching the printer on, but...

    I've been looking for an inkset to go with my new Epson R3000. Key features for me are wide colour gamut, high Dmax and fade resistance. The Inkowl Archival inks for the Epson R2880 (K3 inkset) promise all these features along with high gloss and no bronzing. When reading the spec sheet it seems...

    Hi everyone, I've been printing pictures with my ip8500 for some years now. Printing blue skies or smooth blue areas has been a (small) problem ever since actually. Recently it became worse and my prints are not useable at the moment. I'll describe my hardware setup, workflow and...

The normal nozzle check page is perfect but on the extended service check I can see 1 single nozzle of the photomagenta head refusing to work (1 little square in the grid is missing). The rest of...
