Thank you so much for your responsiveness, help and truly informative links. It would be fascinating to see the comparison of GI-53, GI-X3 inks with the original Chromalife 100 inks. At least the black ink. Just to see if it is indeed the same ancient ink chemistry or just a recycled name.

Being a non-professional in this field, I am having a bit of hard time interpreting this data in evaluating whether GI-53 is a good enough ink to be comparable to Pro-100 dye inks? Is there any way to even roughly estimate Aarenburg-style megalux-hours for GI-53 from this data (assuming...

Delta E on GI-53 Black apears pretty low on your tests. Does this indicate that black ink is pretty resistant to fading? Aarenburg Project was reporting that the biggest difference between original Chromalife 100 and Chromalife 100+ was more fade-resistant black. Based on your test, is it...

I usually leave Pro-100 off and unplugged for a year, run a nozzle check and all is well. Did it 3 years in a row with no clogs so far.

looks interesting. Thanks so much for the response.

I am using refillable cartridges in my Epson printers (4880, 4800, p600). I notice that when I fill a cartridge with fresh ink (extracted from OEM Epson cartridges), that color works great for a few months. Then, it feels like the ink is becoming more viscous, as if some of the liquid has...

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

I got a nearly brand new 4880 printer. Only a few dozen prints ever printed on it. It was idle for indeterminate amount of time. I soaked the printhead with windex for a few minutes, ran a few power cleanings and all of the lines cleared up perfectly, giving a perfect pattern, except for...

I was able to get some measure of normalcy. I was going through all options on the printer and found a measure sheet option. This allows the printer to pre-measure the position of the roll prior to printing. When I turned it on, the printer now seems to center properly on rolls. This is my...

That is a great idea, testing it out with another computer. I will try that and report back. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your responses! Truly appreciated. I am in Windows 10, mostly printing from photoshop.

This offset does not appear in print previews. This printer is known for vertically offsetting an image by half an inch from the bottom of the page. But that is a feature of the printer. What I am getting is offsetting toward the left side of the image.

This happens with any size image on roll paper (same thing happens with manually inserted paper into the back feed. But Cut sheet media from the front sheet feed centers perfectly). For example, I may select printing with margins (margins are auto set as far as I know). Then on one side...

I have a 4880 printer. Centering/margins are perfect when using a sheet feeder. However, when I insert roll paper (8 inch roll), the margins are seriously shifted. For example, let’s say I am printing with margins on 8” roll. I set the width to match the paper. The side of the paper closest to...

I have a 4880. I found an old posting here that 110 ml cartridges can be refilled as long as they are reset: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/interesting-fact-on-pro-4000-4880-ink-carts.7387/#post-56563 Can 220 ml cartridges be easily refilled as well? Is there a video or any...
