    Epson ET-8550 Velvet Fine Art Paper settings uses Pigment and Dye Black

    Total madness. Why ruin a print when you can do it in a couple of seconds using WicReset. Claria HD ink does not dissolve in water after drying.

    Inconsistent margins, driving me mad.

    Hello. There is no such paper size in the printer driver. You need to create a CUSTOM paper size of 125x250 mm, WITHOUT FIELD. After that, print from the EPSON PRINT LAYOUTH program, entering a margin size of 3 mm. The margins will be accurate to 0.1 mm.
