    Epson ET-8550: pink hue in photo prints after sitting a couple months

    Nozzles don't randomly block and unblock themselves on every nozzle check/clean cycle. When you say deep clean i assume you mean the second clean cycle offered when you say a nozzle check failed. The word 'deep' does not appear in the printer manual. If you get a bunch of (or all)...

    buying advise 3D printer

    I would be tempted to stick a sheet of paper on the bottom of the tray, possibly removing the bottom 0.3mm of the model first. I think the polished steel paper feed roller will grip paper better than PLA. I would also look at where the pinch rollers for the paper feed roller bear on the tray...

    ET8500 Borderless

    You don't mention so it sounds like you missed the driver preferences having a settings button next to the borderless checkbox which offers retain size and auto expand options. That is on windows. I don't know about mac.

    ArgyllCMS 875-patch printer profile with i1Pro 2

    I still don't know what your problem is. I have no problem editing targets in the current photoshop version and see no problem printing them as long as color management can be turned off in the printer driver.

    ArgyllCMS 875-patch printer profile with i1Pro 2

    You asked about printing profiles with Qimage. Adobe's ACPU will print files without color management the same as Qimage can. I don't know about the history. I don't understand what problem with adobe you have or think you have currently.

    ET 8550 paper stuck

    scribd started as a free document sharing site which users contributed documents to then they decided to start charging people to access the documents users had given them. I have zero qualms about screwing them as much as they screwed everyone else. This might still work

    Epson ecotank problem

    After a lot of use air tends to accumulate in the dampers (what would be cartridges in a non-tank printer) and the nozzles get starved of ink. You should try a power clean which is similar to the initial ink priming process.

    I also can no longer recommend Bambu Labs. When it comes to privacy and security they are simply incompetent and dishonest. I don't trust the company any more. They have locked out 3rd party access to/control of their printers siting complete BS security and safety reasons. They offer a crappy...

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

    wicreset.exe from the link you posted: "before continuing with the installation" wicreset.exe isn't signed. A google search for "Superprinter LLC" returns a single hit which is a Malware analysis of weireset.exe with the conclusion of "Suspicious". Via the two obscure payment processors...

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

    Madness - lol. I loathe installing software and cluttering my system without good reason especially software from a dodgy looking source. I did try it and blew it away with the equivalent of a restore point having no further use for it. That took way longer than a couple of seconds. The ink...

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

    If there is anything in that private section which adjusts printing according to printer driver setting then the profiles would be useless for soft proofing. If there is anything significant in that section 3rd party generated profiles would lack it. I removed the driver (windows) installed...

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

    VFA mode only has one quality setting and it is slow. Maybe it is trying to be high resolution, maybe it is just trying to put down a lot of ink. Maybe it is putting dye black on top of pigment or the other way round. Who knows? The Epson Ultra Glossy media setting is alone in having a...

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

    Go here and search for "Why the media setting can make such a huge difference to some prints". Look at the two screen shots and accompanying text. Below that he compares two papers one that works well in VFA mode and one that doesn't.
