    Epson SC-P800 pigment printer converted to dye ink printer

    Of course it's purely a matter of taste, but a photo on glossy paper looks to me like an advertising poster - mass-produced goods. On slightly textured semigloss/luster/pearl, however, I get the wow effect. I was primarily interested in pigmented inks for matte papers, as they coat the paper...

    Epson SC-P800 pigment printer converted to dye ink printer

    While I was wondering whether to change to pigmented ink to enhance print quality, you go the other way round. Since I do not believe that light inks improve print quality visibly, your printer is now alike to my Epson ET-8550. Maybe I simply stick to what I have. :)

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    I don't want to defend Epson's behavior. They also only offer their own media to choose from.

    Epson L8180 (ET8550) no Ultra premium luster paper type

    You should differentiate between color profiles and media settings in the driver.

    Aldi Expertiz Photopaper - Germany

    I'm afraid it's a matter of transportation costs. They only ship containers to large resellers (Amazon). Maybe the Belgian market is not lucrative (big) enough to ship to a belgian warehouse.

    I suppose you know the Europrint papers on eBay and Amazon? Europrint Satin PE is available in 10x15, A4, A3, A3+. Always available, IMHO good quality for the money.
