Hello together, Sorry in advance this question has nothing to d with printing but since this forum is such a lovely place of people with great knowledge in color management I dare to ask this question. I want to profile the beamer in my photoclub and want to do this with my private notebook and...

So which profiles did you buy? Using another inkset on the 8550 makes the profiles Keith Cooper did for original 114 inks most probably useless.

Nobody? Which laser printers are know for good BW photo printing?

Hello everyone, in my photoclub we do Cyanotype prints on several occasion. We convert digital photos into negatives and print them on transparency film and do contact copies on cyanotype paper (under UV-light). This works quite well but our laser printer died. Which printer can be recommended...

or imagine the T2100 would get the inkset of the 8550 :celebrate this would be hell of a printer

Hello Nelson, this confirms my suspicion, if I print a AdobeRGB file with AdobeRGB in the ICC-profile selection of Epson Print Layout, then this should emulate the same like colormangement "off". Unfortunately in the Epson Print Layout software you have no longer access to the "normal" printer...

I know there is other software and how to do it with other software, but for certain reasons I have to stick to Epson Print Layout program. So can anybody give me a hint what to select in the Epson Print Layout software? Edit: If I tell the printer to use SRGB as icc-profile, should this do the...

Hi all, what settings in the Epson Print Layout software should I use in order to print a target for profiling? I did not find the possibility to switch off color management in the Epson Print Layout software. May be you can have please a look at those two screenshots whether this would be a...

colours are better but the background of the man with the Cello and the stairway get too dark and drown in deep blacks

please visit dpreview.com and load the comparison image of a Fuji 12MP camera like the X30 and compare it to modern camera. You can also download the files and print them. You will find that there are tons of better cameras.

I agree you could transport the same amount of information in 10% of time, but nevertheless Rodrigo is a valuable source of information, no need to bash him.

I visited the Action shop near my home and this paper was sold out :(. But I want to try your trick with the Cancon Montval 300g fine texture aquarelle paper (more expensive but available in all sizes over the years). Where in the settings did you change to 50% more ink usage? Did you mean the...

I did not want to open an new thread so may I ask a question here about the possibilities in the Windows printer driver of the Epson 8550: Can I choose an own ICC-Profile/Paper combination in the 8550 printer driver or do I need a software able for color management like Photoshop?

Hi Nelson, did you profile it with already the +50% ink load setting? and did you have any problems with your printed target with all those tiny fields in combination with that heavy texture? Thanks for point us to this paper source. In the past I used some other Aquarell-papers (never dived...

I see excellent results and report of the Epson 114 inkset from the 8550 printer over lots of sources. In which (cheaper) printer I could use the 5x inkset (CMYK+grey) when profiled and benefit from this good longevity and nice results on glossy paper for my academic (notorious poor) photoclub...
