Are you using Epson OEM in your printer? John Wheeler

Just my opinion yet bypassing paper jam sensor/sensors is a potential fire hazard if the jam occurs in the fuser possibly turning an annoyance into a much more serious issue putting your or the eventual end user at risk. As I understand that machine, there are multiple sensors involved for...

Hi @LiveNudeDann It does not appear to be one of the basic issues. Since I don't own such a printer, this advice comes from what I have read and heard. It is important that you are using the Epson CD/DVD software and when starting it, that the CD/DVD option is selected. This step causes the...

Great pictures that show the problem Are you using original Epson OEM INK cartridges? Not all inks work with printing CD / DVDs? John Wheeler

You’re welcome @Laith John Wheeler

I have not used either personally yet, here is a comparison table for your reference. Your mileage may vary, yet this may help you in your investigation. John Wheeler Even though the inkjet paper is thicker, it may not be as stiff because the inkjet coating is less rigid than a mineral clay coat

I only know of 300 gsm. If you get heavier then that, you may need to use the straight through feeder optoin on the Epson 8550: double side 300 gsm photo paper John Wheeler

HI @W. Fisher Glad you are the track to get it fixed. I use a Mac OS so could not be very helpful. Just for grins, I asked AI what was up with color mangement in Windows 11 being so off sometimes and here is what it came up with below. Note one of the last solutions was exactly what you did...

Can you link the ICC profile so it can be examined by forum members? John Wheeler

Just to make sure we are clear, the settings from the FAQ that are being discussed are only for creating the color profiles and not the settings for regular prints. Here is an explanation from online that seemed to help and made sense yet its from AI so your mileage may vary. Since it mentions...

A couple of items, - Under unusual situations, ink or other contaminants between the round gold contact points can cause problems. - Also, if the pads are no longer gold (gold coating), a good solid electrical connection becomes much less certain, as when the gold is gone, the underlying metal...

Your problem is above my pay grade to help much more, and I will leave it to those with more expertise. It did seem odd that the banding appeared to extend beyond the large magenta patch. One thing I did not hear mentioned is checking for a good connection without contamination (crosstalk...

It would also help if you shared the results of the nozzle test.

Did you notiice that the banding is not limited to just the square magenta area? White areas amplified in picture below show bands there and continuing across the magenta square area. Might be a clue. John Wheeler
