Thanks for the suggestion, it was well worth trying. I think you're right, especially combined with the paper settings I used yesterday which greatly improved the wheel marks. I used Epson premium glossy when I had the bar raised, this caused the most visible wheel marks on Thursdays prints. I...

I will be using my other L805 for sublimation printing and I intend to test different papers. I will also test more paper for my photo prints but I won't be buying 1100 sheets again before testing a pack. The L805 I'm using for photos was only purchased for the prints I will be selling very...

I' m in England, my plan is to use DPD who will charge about £30 GBP (35 Euros). There service is normally good. That would be a good idea, I may suggest it to them depending on the type of response I receive. I placed a piece of card under the bar and everything looked/sounded normal until...

Initially I wasn't going to get a ColorMunk for the reasons you stated but after purchasing two L805s, one for photos and one for sublimation, I realised it would be a useful device to have. I plan to test a few different sublimation papers and also different A4 paper. I will make sure to test a...

My product is very cheap ;). I just never expected wheel marks or speckle marks, the photos minus the marks look fine. I would be happy with them. I seem to be the only one with these marks (the speckles at least), so I was right not to expect them. My plan was to use a cheaper paper (even with...

I've just printed the same light coloured photo twice. For the first photo I used: Epson photo paper inkjet quality: standard thick paper and envelope setting: off high speed: off borderless: yes and I can't see any speckle marks. The colour seems quite off. I then printed the same photo...

Thanks for checking. I did consider it may be a bad batch but the first box has this batch number: 44416867 and the newly opened box has: 43416048. The numbers aren't even close. I purchased from sihl-direct.de and received everything yesterday. Looking at all the prints (I've used the same...

I printed three photos from the new box of paper I opened, the batch number has a difference of 1000819. For the first print I used the following settings: Photo paper glossy quality: standard thick paper and envelope setting: on high speed: off borderless: yes The above has the same speckle...

I don't mind using the medium quality setting, the photo quality looks good, it's the marks that ruin it. On my last print the marks were almost gone but there are hairline scratches. I've just opened a new pack (different batch number) and I can see some marks on the first sheet. I then looked...

I hadn't checked before printing the first three photos but as a test I took a sheet from the middle of the pack and it looks much better. Although it looks like there are small hairline scratches over the photo, these become more noticeable when moving the paper at different angles. This pack...

Thanks for your response. The cyan ink issue was solved when I changed from high quality to medium quality, this also solved the photo being wet. I may have edited my post before you replied, it does appear these are wheel marks. The Kodak glossy paper (280g) and Fujifilm glossy paper (180g)...

I'm using my Epson L805 with OEM ink to print on Sihl glossy 280g paper and my results aren't what I was expecting. I first selected Epson premium glossy and set the quality to high, this print had drops of cyan ink sitting on top of the photo and it was slightly wet. When it did finally dry it...

It's probably the best way although it would be nice if I could skip the bit where I have to be the guinea pig 😀, especially since the cheaper paper doesn't really have much resale value. The Lidl paper deal looks even more of a bargain now. I've signed up to a German forwarder and I've been...

Thanks for your responses and for the information. I haven't used it before, I may buy a pack of 100 to test it. At the moment I'm paying 26p (0.31 euro) per sheet, the paper is on special offer. The normal price is 35p (0.41 euro) per sheet. The store you linked to doesn't ship to the UK, I...

@Ink stained Fingers I'm trying to find a A4 glossy paper for photos that's cheaper than the big brands. I'm in England, UK. I missed the Lidl paper offer and found this thread after searching for an alternative. I checked on eBay and I can get 500 sheets from etiketten-plus for 40 euros...
