Thank you for the link, I will try contacting them again regarding those specific inks. In your opinion, will they be problem free (keeping in mind it is a different printhead compared to the printers they are designed for)? To be honest I did not even think of refill, but after you mentioned...

Hello Ink stained Fingers, thank you for taking time to post. To be honest, I was thinking of going with the OEM inks (at least for the time the printer is in warranty) as long as the inks longevity was OK. I am not familiar at all with Canon 3rd party inks, I messaged Inktec about canon...

Hey, Just a little update on my journey with the L1800 because I forgot to post. I am using the L1800 with the 106 inks for the CMYK and T54C for LM LC for like an year now and the printer is working great. I noticed that the Y is generally stronger on the 106 inks and after profiling with my...

Hello, I have been on a quest of finding my first bigger printer. So far I have only used Epson printers (L805, L850, L1300, L1800) and this will be my first Canon. I was hesitant at first because I looked Epson's T2100 which was reviewed by Ink stained Fingers but the absence of auto reset...

Hey, There are test grids which you can use to find best settings for engraving on the desired materials. The test grids are just squares with different speed/power settings so you can see which performs best. I think lightburn has such free test grid, otherwise there are several in Etsy and...

Thank you for your reply, you are really helpful on all the questions I have and I am grateful for that. The air in the dampers is something I knew (for like 2-3 years, preivously I filled them lik 80% and wondered why I got issues :D), but to be honest I never knew the reason why they should be...

Hello guys, It is me again. I just received the 106 CMYK and LC LM T54C inks and I plan to put them in my Epson L1800 which is currently using the 673 inks. I was wondering what will be the most "professional" way to do it? I was thinking just to suck out the inks from the tanks and the inks...

Hey, Out of curiosity I was even more puzzled when I saw you are actually using it for the colormunki. Because I also have one, what is the purpose of the rail (maybe using it with Agryll). Sadly so far I've only used it with the standard ccstudio / colormunki software, because when I first...

Thank you, your reply had a soothing effect, I was getting overwhelmed but comparing fade tests and wondering what will be the best. I will just go 106CMYK and T54C LM LC like I intended to :) By the way - I see you still have your L805 - in the forum I think I saw that you use/used pigment...

Thank you, I will probably go full Printfab for B&W image on the L1800. Thank you again for your so detailed response. L1800 does not provide this ABW but for this I will go Printfab because I already own the software anyway. Yes, I remember making profiles like for like a month for the...

Hello, Thank you - I keep close track on your ink tests, they are of much help, especially on the 106 114 t54c inks, maybe I will just change for the 106 t54c because of the longevity, since you said there will be not much improvement visually or on the L values. As for the papers I usually...

Thank you for your response. Actually for each patch I measured it 5 times and wrote the middle values for each L*a*b. Actually after the ink settled for more than a day I can barely see differences in the black patches - maybe it is more obvious when freshly printed, which leads me to believe...

Hello and thank you for posting this. This is a really interesting article, thank you - that explains the LM LC mixing I wonder if they also did some trick for the K and this is why it appears a different shade and performs differently (because in the article I did not see any comment about K...

Hello again, Just measured the test patches for black after 11 hours, on matte paper the difference is not so big but on the glossy it is visible: Matte paper L*a*b* for L1800/L850 15,6 1,3 -3,6/16,2 1,3 -3,8 Premium glossy paper L*a*b* for L1800/L850 2,9 2,2 -4,2/3 2,9 -3,7 Do you...

Thank you, I will print both matte and glossy icc profile charts and tomorrow morning measure the lab values but visibly the black is much leaker on the L1800. I do not now if the inks are mixed, I am just puzzled and trying to wrap my head around this - first thing that came to mind is either...
