Is it possible to detail your intended application requiring high fade resistance and your intended substrates, assuming photo papers not in the general running? If fade resistance paramount then have you considered pigment inks as they are likely to be much more fade resistant and have the...

I am curious so have to ask the question why buy a particular printer and then use the 'wrong ink' for that model as specified by the manufacturer? At this time I can think of a couple of reasons: 1. Cheaper ink per ml? But then surely other manufacturers provide compatibles that may score...

I did wonder why Epson had made the move to 300/600 ppi rather than their usual 360/720. I had assumed, probably incorrectly, that there would be savings in the manufacturing process? I remember Jeff Schewe writing about the difference in Canon 300/600 ppi vs Epson 360/720 ppi and if memory...

Apologies to those that may se me as "Trying to teach Granny to suck eggs etc" The first works about image resolution for printing I came across were from the late Bruce Fraser, friend and mentor of Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney, Martin Evening (The Pixel Mafia). Later written about in more detail...

I for one have zero problem profiling and printing out of Photoshop - any version. I have been using the application professionally since the first version for Windows appeared which I believe was v2.5 in 1992, the first v1.0 was released Mac only. Now using CC CS5 was the last version that...

I would suggest that you do not waste your time, ink and paper playing with Windows Photo app. Windows colour management implementation is poor to say the least and AFAIK has not changed with Windows 11. The Photo app originally was not colour managed that I believe has changed. Adobe...

No the settings are incorrect and will not produce the required results. The targets need to be printed without colour management of any kind. In Photoshop it has not been possible to turn off colour management since and age ago. You will need to use the Adobe Color Print Utility (ACPU) to...

I would also want to wait to see what issues the early adopters have before spending hard earned cash. :ep Hopefully the product will have benefited from Bambu's current line up that any issues will be minor.

First actual review I have seen with someone using the printers. Lots of things I like such as dual nozzles, new AMS dryer etc etc. Slightly disappointed that build volume limited in height compared to a full cube. Not sure about the version with the added laser even with the green doors and...

I have been mainly printing PLA and PETG where I thought the better chemical, UV resistance and pliability may benefit. If I understand correctly PETG is OK without an enclosure but ABS and ASA benefit greatly, although I have read claims that it is not absolutely necessary if you can eliminate...

I entirely agree, I would see no reason to upgrade as long as you are happy with what you are producing and there is no 'must have' feature or real benefit perceived in making a change. Unless PAS strikes hard (Printer Aquisition Syndrome) :drool;)

Ahh, thanks had missed the delivery time scale assuming it would be available now The price drop chart is interesting and I agree a little worrying. I do seem to remember seeing an early price quoted as $499 which normally translate to the same figure in GBP. At that time my thoughts were...

Based solely on what I have seen, admittedly on Youtube reviews only, it seems to me that up until fairly recently Bambu Labs has had no real competition for its X1C and P1S. Yes, there are a number of manufacturers that quickly produced ‘me too’ core xy devices but Bambu labs still appear to be...

I think the problem is that Orca have not yet produced a profile for your printer? If that is the case and if you really want to try Orca would this user generated profile get you started? https://www.printables.com/model/860362-ender-3-v3-xz-orca-slicer-profile

I have been trying Orca slicer in place of Bambu Studio and noticed some advantages Orca appears to have over the Bambu version, using Bambu P1S I tend to agree if you are happy with your current system then why bother, however IMO there is nothing lost in trying something new if you see that...
