    Stuck starwheel on 3880 producing a cut mark on all prints

    Thanks. I saw and read that WordPress link too. Just not sure I want to disable all of them just the non-functioning one and his solution is all or nothing. I tried to lubricate the one that is stuck but that didn't help either

    Stuck starwheel on 3880 producing a cut mark on all prints

    One of the starwheels on the front input tray of my 3880 is not moving as it should and as a result producing a cut mark on every print that is fed through the manual back tray. Every other starwheel functions as expected. Is there a way to simply disable this single starwheel of some way to...

    Epson 3880 not printing and no ink flow after cleaning dampers and black ink valve...

    Thanks. There are two on this head on the left side so I will disassemble and make sure they are both connected fully Edit: I am not seeing any ink move down the lines during cleaning cycles either but strangely the printer thinks the carts are using ink and the counter keeps decrementing from...

Yellow became problematic with only half appearing on tests. Followed 3 tutorials on YT to break everything down. Disassembled everything and...

    Thanks. I may give those a shot. Price seems reasonable and I think Jose has recommended these in the past

    R-JetTek OCP Inks for the 38xx series

    While I don't use the OCP inks on glossy or luster paper because of some known issues with bronzing and differential, they have been great on Matte and art paper types. No issues at all and they seem to be fairly archival based on my very informal tests

    R-JetTek OCP Inks for the 38xx series

    In the US & I ordered from RJetTek before. Shipping was reasonable as was cost. My initial impressions about ordering from the EU was that shipping to the US was horrific for bulk ink.

    R-JetTek OCP Inks for the 38xx series

    Three years ago I ordered 1 liter of each OCP color for my 3800 and 3880. They have been great and I have run thousands of prints through each printer with this ink. As a result, I am nearly out of most of the popular colors so I went to RJetTek to place another order for: BKP200 BKP201 BKP202...

    Printer profile: Colormunki native software vs ArgyllCMS

    I've done about 40 paper profiles with ArgyllCMS on both HP and Epson large format printers. I saved all my targen, printtarg, chartread, colprof commands to a text file and it's very easy to modify old ones for new paper with just a few changes. I use a Logan ruler to help the Colormunki align...

    Thanks for the link but at $225 USD that seems very steep. The utility is free as long as you use the 5.5 driver

    Revisiting Resetter problems for Epson 3880 - And related stuff.

    Some of the eBay sellers will guarantee a reset on the maintenance tank (assuming you have a second new tank to swap in and out as this is the prescribed way to reset a used unit). But none of the sellers will guarantee a reset on all 3800/3880 ink cartridges. I continue to have issues with LM...
