Using the 114 ink instead of another dye ink is not a problem, print quality does not just depend on the inks but very much as well on the type of paper you are going to use - uncoated papers - not specifically for inkjet printing - may create some dull looking prints. You would not get the same...

You are addressing the fading issue - dye vs. pigment inks. There is no test report out at all addressing this issue - no report comparing these inks - at all, but everybody assumes that pigment inks last longer. There is tremendously wide variation in longevity between inks - ink types by OEM...

There are companies specifically selling pigment inksets for the ET-8550 like precisioncolors, but they only ship to the U.S. or Canada https://precisioncolors.com/ET8550.html or in Germany https://www.farbenwerk.com/en/collections/ecotank-et-8550-8500-114-eng or you choose inks which are...

I'll create a few profiles with this new patch sheet and compare some prints with my current and these new profiles in the next time.

A dual scan with the i1i0-2 robot table takes 11 min with a dual scan for the different M0, M1, M2 modes and just 2 min for a single scan in one of the modes, the driver apparently uses a lower speed for the robot arm for whatever reason for the dual mode, there is no control over the actual...

thanks a lot for your work on i1Profiler patch files; I downloaded tlhis last version with the 702 patches incl. extended grays. I had to make a small change to get it working with the i1iO robot arm which needs patch sizes at min 7.5x8 mm sized patches. It most likely should work as well with...

Epson is varying the resolution nomenclature by printer model, drivers for printers like the L805/1800 or the ET-8550 which are as well photo printers with 1.5pl, available quality settings are 'Standard, High' for the L805 or for the ET-8550 'standard high best' for an Ultra Glossy Photo paper...

That's a great evaluation - very scientifically - of the practical resolution limits of the P900 printer, I would assume that similar printer models like the P700 and other printers with 1.5pl droplets would rate about the same. One variable would be the ink spread which varies with the coating...

I'm just reading that Canon has presented a successor to the TC-20 printer - it's the Prograph TC-21 , it looks the same as the TC-20, the technical data are almost the same - I see differences here - the printer now comes with an adjustable display/user panel - the printer offer almost...

Thanks for the feedback that the clog is removed the printer is working again

Epson is producing millions of their printheads and sell them as well to other companies; the overall design - piezo elements etc was already quite old - it could be scaled to differents widths and nozzle rows, but just look to the printhead of the WF2010W - just an entry level little printer...

Yes, newer Epson printers - Workforce - Ecotank and large format printers come with 600 dpi printheads - same as Canon's printheads, but the number of nozzle rows on Canon printheads is much higher than on Epson printheads. Canon printheads need a separate row of nozzles for every droplet size...

That's a great posting explaining the details and effects of up/downsampling; the issue of upsampling to twice the printing resolution is lurking in the background since quite a while like here in Qimage with the 'Overdrive' option. https://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/tech-prt.htm...

Just print something - even the nozzle check und pull the power cord during the print action.

There are sevearl acctions and options to go after such clog - placing a piece of kitchen paper under the printhead in the printpath and soaking it with a cleaner is one of it. Pull the power cord shortly after you turned on the printer and the head starts moving. The next step would be an...
