You are right, was referring to the L8050, which is the A4 variant of the L18050. I think the L1800 has been replaced by the L18050, I no longer see it in stock anywhere locally. I seem to recall the L1800 had some problem which is why I did not buy it at the time, I think it did badly in your...

The interesting printers are the Epson ET-8550, L18050 and L18100. They cost more than the G550 but are A3 capable like the Canon pro-200, and the inks are cheap like the G550 Theres the Epson ET-8500 and L8050 which are A4 capable, these are the most similar to the G550 but when it comes to...

I quote from here: https://psap.library.illinois.edu/advanced-help/digital-inkjet#:~:text=Swellable coated paper&text=Only dye-based inks are,produced professionally or at home. Swellable coated paper Swellable paper is comprised of resin-coated paper with an image-receiving layer. The...

My L10850 did NOT come with any paper unfortunately. I have purchased a fair bit of epson paper - "Epson Glossy Photo Paper", "Epson Premium Glossy", and "Epson Premium Semigloss" fairly cheaply. So far I have tested the "Epson Premium Glossy" and "Epson Glossy Photo Paper" and they both work...

I suspect Choosing “1” makes box “1” become box “4” in the next pass This allows selection of -1, -2, -3 and so on

I tried a different paper - “HP Photosmart” paper, It was impossible to use with my printer, the Epson ink pooled even on the slowest setting and did not get absorbed into the paper at all

I had a problem with the CAP480 chart, With the ES-2000 (aka i1Publish Pro 2), the chart is too big to scan... It seems that the spectro needs to start on a white part of the paper, but when using the ruler from the ES-2000 it is not possible to start on a white section of the paper while also...

I printed the CAP480 test chart and got no apparent bleeding even though there are tons of color transitions on the chart, so I think the printer is not putting down too much ink.

Ok, I get the general idea Using a 10x triplet loupe, I pixel peeped two images, the first with epson premium glossy paper "High" quality and the same print on HP paper with +15 brightness color correction dialed in to get the brightness more similar (its still darker) to the Epson print * The...

How can I tell if "ink limits are exceeded"? If I do not see pooling does this mean that the ink limits are NOT exceeded? I have found settings where no pooling can be seen, even in completely black / dark regions, and this is with 100% ink density I have a very large amount of paper to try...

I have a stack of what is apparently swellable HP paper in a dry cabinet set at 40% relative humidity... I think the idea is that the paper works best when as much water is drawn out of the paper as possible? What relative humidity should other non-swellable paper be stored at? would 40% cause...

The HP product number is 5187-1685

How long do you think I should dry the prints before making a profile with 107 inks?

How exactly do I “recondition” it? Put it into a dry cabinet on the maximum setting?

I have no idea tbh, got it really cheap, about $0.05 euro equivalent per A4 sheet. I have a huge stack of the stuff 😂
