No answer? OK, I'll bite. I'm pretty sure you can do it. Just check the specs. Paper feeding may be an issue, maybe not. You need photo paper, not just card stock, and you can buy them sold for greeting cards. Here's one source I like: Red River Paper. They are likely to have some...

It is very handy if you ever need it. Probably still very high. But Brother has the reputation for being reliable and long-lasting, and maybe economical printing. Laser printers probably won't do very well for color photos on office paper, and as far as I know you can't even use them on photo...

Oh, so it is. I had no idea. You can tell how much I've missed it. But Google is your friend (except when they're hassling you about passwords). I just posted three search links, and then there's this: How to get Wordpad back. Personally, I use LibreOffice in Linux, which also replaces...

?? What is it about Wordpad that you don't like? I'm unsure of your requirements. Online? You mean with remote software? Lightweight? You mean with local software that requires few resources? For what application? Online rich text editor Headless rich field text editor Open source rich field...

Most paper types have an option of standard or high quality. VFA has only "standard", which, if I recall correctly, prints slowly, so it's probably mislabeled. But maybe the problem is not caused by the pigment ink, but rather the high-quality setting. I have no information on that.

I don't know if this makes you feel better or worse, but I have a print here that was printed on matte with a VFA setting. No problem at all. The difference with VFA is that it uses some pigment black, which could, in principle, more likely to clog a nozzle. Just speculation, because I...

No problem here. I'm looking at some prints right now. There's not a trace of it, not even with black ink or strongly colored ink, or under strong light and magnification. I'm comparing blank paper with the edge of a print. Epson Premium Presentation Matte, a third party matte paper, and...

Indeed, that's probably how it works. When the liquid level reaches the filling tube, no more air can be drawn into the fill tube, so filling stops. It seems that it would be possible to force too much ink into the tank, but it would be stupid to try. If we just don't do anything stupid...

Thanks, good to know. I've already ordered it, possibly for the wrong reason. :D I have a rational fear of insane manuals, or worse yet, no manuals. Color software comes in two versions: point, drool and regret; or extensive graduate coursework and debugging required to make a cat photo...

The profile generation looks incredibly complicated, and probably a fool's errand for the general public such as me. But if I buy this thing, would it be good for spot checks with spectra? And would it be more usable than the i1Studio for that? I have to decide soon, because the price more...

Thanks for this information. I don't really understand it, but I will take note.

This is very interesting. I noted the claim of more neutral grays. I'm also a little concerned, though, by the risk of running Chinese software, with apparently no alternative. (?) And is there an actual manual or concise source of essential info for this? I see things like "B2A detail" and...

That's for a different printer. I looked at the ET-8500 manual and didn't find anything like that. The only thing is that they mentioned that for optimum results it's good to top it up to 100% at least once per year.

Amazing! Do you know how it compares to the i1Studio with x-rite software?

The CSV format is not standardized, and import of a CSV file can be quite problematic. Thanks so much for your work on this. I believe the pertinent question is whether the device is any good, and more importantly, whether the profiles are good.
