I assume there is a refilling. As Epson begins with bootles, the will find solution to prevent revenue loss. Bundeling ink bottles with activation codes will prevent using third party inks. High quality printers in large format areas are currently not changed and there will be a refill market as...

I also use an R2000 and two R1900 but I neved thought of mixing red and orange on my own. I use the OCP ink with good results.

I assume this was the shipping to the US I know this optimization. this is also available for i1Profiler. Seems to be a misunderstanding on my side, I had in mind that you did a special black and white optimization I will try this sometime. As written I do not B&W for myself. If I have to...

Hmm, just a regular ICC profile? In general I create ICC profile with an i1Pro and i1Profiler using custom testcharts with 988 color patches on 2 A4/US Letter pages. But I never did a special B&W profiling. Is there any public information how to optimize B&W printing with ICC profiles? I...

I personally like the R1900 and R2000 printers with their gloss optimizer. But these printers are bad choices for printing black & white pictures as they only use one black ink (no LK, LLK). My prefered paper type is either pearl/satin or matte and also pearl/satin canavas, sometimes matte...

I use i1Profiler and regularly use A4 or US Letter format. For these paper formats I created testchart wirh 988 patches fitting to both DIN A4 and US Letter format. I also created testcharts for use on 5x7 papers as well. As the paper is smaller I created 8 charts with 880 patches to have a...

I know the Aldi Belgium is selling Netbit papers Is there any other source for Netbit papers e.g. in Germany? Wolfgang

the main difference beneath the max print width are the capabilities of the printer driver. All A3+ printer drivers allow to use ICC profiles inside the printer driver. This allows to use printing software which is not able to do color management (like Epson Easy Photo Print) and do the color...

Hi Pharmacist, you know that I use also OCP inks and since a few days I also own a (used) R3000. I tracked your postings here month ago and now since I also have this printer and run out of inks I ordered one liter of each color OCP K3 except for the magenta where I choosed your recommendation...

Ah, this I did not know. Thanks Wolfgang

you may look for a used HP Photosmart Pro B9180, perfect for this as this printer has a complete flat special media tray and can print on media up to 1.3 mm thickness that is the wrong beginning. You have to check for the possibilities and afterward to see if it is worth the money. Wolfgang

Just for info: I don't own a Pro 9500. And I would not use CLI-8 cartridges in this printer. What I had in mind was to use Refillable CLI-8 cartridges and use Lucia compatible third party inks from LFP ink suppliers. But just an idea, nothing more Wolfgang

From this experience one can assume that refillable CLI-8 cartridges can be used instead of PGI-9 carts. Have you tried this? Wolfgang

as written earlier in other topics: I highly recommend Coloration ink from Farbenwerk.com or OCP inks Wolfgang

Hi Andreas, I don't have experience with the inks you listed, but I can highly recommend two inks available in Germany. Your Canon Pixma iP4850 uses Canons Chromalife 100+ inks filled in CLI-526 / PGI-525 cartridges. I recommend either Coloration CD 5 inks from http://www.farbenwerk.com or OCP...
