I have an Epson PictureMate printer that runs on a battery for field use. I have always used their Glossy paper which comes with an ink cartridge. Recently I acquired a Pentax K3 Monochrome camera and thought it might be good to try their Matte paper and ink for the printer. The ink cart has...

You are correct that a Lab 20 is around the RGB-50 for al three RGB values. The Color Picker in the ColorMunki Photo software reads in RGB and Lab both on a spot, and the i1 PhotoPro 2 only reads in Lab but one can convert the Lab to RGB with an online converter like this one...

Thanks. Think I may need to do some sort of ink load prior to profiling with the matte paper. Glossy always seemed to make a better initial profile than a thick matte paper which may be sucking up the ink so not as black overall. The OBA paper may have less of a coating layer without the...

I have a white cartridge filter on my main water line and it gets a rusty-red color on it when I change it. Lots of sand on it and a lot in the bottom of the filter's tank too. Often when they shut the water main off for repair, the surge coming back on blows a lot of stuff in the line...

I profiled some new matte paper on 3880. The i1Photo 3D display of the profile showed the black to be a bit weak for my taste. Looking in the Epson Properties > Paper Configuration > Color Density it is possible to lay more ink down. I went from the default of 0% up to 25% which did make the...

I saw the Epson T502 ink on shelf at office supply. $20 for 127ml bottle, or about the same as selling for at B&H Photo. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1371593-REG/epson_t502120_s_t502_ink_bottle_with.html Is this a dye or pigment? If it's a pigment, how does it compare to a...

Back of paper seems more paper like, but a plastic feel to it. Could be right that it may be suited for dye ink more than pigment. Maybe that's what they mean "If using an Epson printer, set it to Vivid" which I've never seen before. It has a veil look to it with the pigment, sort of a haze...

As to the PPD paper above, I knew soon as I saw the first test sheet that came out of printer, of the four that the i1 software makes, there was a big problem. The gloss ws almsot absent from some of the colors of ink and the blacks. Seemed more like a matte ink on a glossy paper. Now I know...

Thanks for the link. Was reading that you think the Epson T850, UltraChrome Photo Black Ink Cartridge was the blackest for glossy paper? I was using the profiles I made in Qimage Ultimate, but it also allows in the Properties section to increase the Color Density as well. How and if that...

Amazon had a Prime Days sale on paper so I grabbed some to try. It is called: PPD (i.e. Photo Paper Direct is the name ??) 255gsm/68lb Professional Photographer Grade Gloss Inkjet Photo Paper. I may try making a normal profile, and then one made with a Color Density +20% and then repeat the...

Epson 3880. Cone High Density Pigment Black ink loaded. Epson Ultra Premium Glossy Paper. Below is a series of black patches I made from Color Density 0% to 50% using a profile for that above combination using the i1 Pro 2 Profiler. Interesting part is the CD changes and the L value goes up...

Thanks. I made the profiles with the 11 Pro 2 and color management was off. Epson Glossy Premium. However, when actually using the profile, I got a blacker black on second one below by increasing the Color Density to +25% over the profiled one that I made. When I raised it more to +50% the...

Properties section of the printer > Paper Configuration > Color Density you can got from Default 0% to either a -50 percent to a +50 percent. I made a simple all black print in PhotoShop with RGB=0 or Lab=0. Then printed in on 4x6 inch glossy paper using my paper's profile. Then I made...

This is a five year old thread, but I recently bought four new packages of "Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper" (Picture of a B&W sailboat is on front of package, i.e...

The chip on the back of the cart may not be contacting the pins in the printer. Might try putting a piece of vinyl tape on opposite side of the cart to press it into the contacts better. Might also try and clean the contacts too. I use Caig Deoxit-Gold for that stuff. I have ink carts do the...

I was using the i1Diagnostics 4 to check my i1 Photo Pro 2 head and also to check my old Colormunki Photo. I was surprised to see the Colormunki Photo "Failed" a few times in the test. Usually from the sensor facing up and turning it down past the horizontal 3 o'clock into the 4:30 Calibrate...

I haven't heard anything yet either, but I bought mine off the USA supplier near San Diego, CA (I think? Been a while since I bought 3 packages of it.). I did have issues with the TAN key a while back and had to deal with Germany which took a while (Reminded me of the Spyder serial mess where...

From Luminous Landscape: https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=130642.0 Expensive software and surprised if they are gone. Might be bad for the Apple runners if the next OS update kills it off (32 > 64 bit.). I have it in Windows 10, but don't know if it will soon crash from...

Interesting you had problems with 1709. My Windows 10-64x Home problems began with Windows 1809 when it first appeared around Oct. 2018. I updated to it from 1803 and several programs were missing as well as some desktop icons. Some were not "Digitally signed by MS" and then MS pulled the...

The solution in your cleaning cart is pretty faint. I ran into that before and it takes a lot darker solution to show up on plain typing paper. Might explain why it is going down, but you just cannot see it as the solution may be flowing out through the paper fibers and evaporating more than...
