    Epson r2880 magenta problem...solved, but not sure how I did it.

    Thank you Mikling! Great explanation - This was super helpful. Speaking of ICC Profiles, I now have to research profiles for using Canon Paper on r2880. Someone on the forum said that Epson Luster profile might work for Canon Glossy Paper. ...and as well how to print older canon paper on...

    lots of Epson & canon questions.

    Funny you should ask that question. I'll take your segue and may move this discussion to the Epson Forum, since my original question on this topic really related to Canon MP970 but... My mention of the r2880 was really to say that the MP970 wasn't my main printer. I use OEM inks on both, no...

    MP970 -fixable or give up?

    lots of Epson & canon questions.

    MP970 -fixable or give up?

    Hi All. I have quite a few CLI-8 OEM carts left so would like to fix if possible. The problem I'm experiencing is that my MP970 has stopped printing Magenta - though the nozzle check results (see attached) seems to print the "light" magenta with no problem. The printhead is not clogged as far...
