    Color management issue with ET8550 please help

    Notice that printer profiles are made with a standard media setting: when I make my profile with the media setting: Epson Premium Glossy setting with quality setting: standard and I print with the same media setting: Epsom Premium Glossy, BUT changing to quality: high, there will be a color cast...

    Colorport CGATS to Argyll CTI3 conversion utility

    I have been playing with this editor. I took me alot of time to introduce the extra desired amount of neutral and near neutral patches into an existing generated 581 patch target to increase it to 700 patches. It is based on the RxGxB patches of 8x8x8 and grey ramp/(near) neutral...

    Need info on Epson 8550 as a midlevel art printer using 3rd party pigment ink please!

    About the problem of precipitation inside the CISS-containers: I won't worry about this, since there are alot of ecotank printers that use pure pigment inks in them. One of the containers already has pigment ink: matte/text black (the first on the left). Since one of my P900 suffered from a...

    Colorport CGATS to Argyll CTI3 conversion utility

    If that is the case, the conversion would be multiply with 2.55 and to average to the nearest whole number.

    Colorport CGATS to Argyll CTI3 conversion utility

    Actually I am looking for something similar to convert to to i1Profiler, because ArgyllCMS is more flexibel into creating the amount of neutral patches/greys within a given amount of patch count. In i1Profiler it is not possible to choose let's say 128 grey steps at will. Only at given patch...

    profiling with Epson Print Layout

    I think you are almost there: if you are using photoshop, you should first assign the working rgb-profile to the file, in your case it is probably srgb1988-2 (maybe it is already included) and print with icc-profile srgb1988-2 in Epson print layout software, choosing relative colorimetric and...

    profiling with Epson Print Layout

    I have found this information about programs that do no allow disabling color management using the null transform method: https://www.dtgweb.com/wp-content/support_docs/Photoshop CS5 Printing Targets.pdf This would be the same like disabling color management, but this method will assign...

    My second Epson SC-P900 is kaputt...

    Not at all just a unfortunate coincidence of problems. The chips and resetter work perfectly with the other printer

    My second Epson SC-P900 is kaputt...

    Actually I exchanged my older P800 with this P900 to upgrade, but nevertheless I did not expect the printer was dead so soon. The person, with whom I exchanged the printer wanted the older version to convert to DTF, so maybe during the transport some ink leaked into some critical places causing...

    My second Epson SC-P900 is kaputt...

    This morning I try to start my second Epson SC-P900 (second hand) and suddenly it gave an error 031006 and an a terrible burnt smell is coming from the printer. I am afraid this printer is for the waste bin. I have searched and it could be the mainboard fused or connectors or both. To...

    Printing PVC ID-card with color management

    Unfortunately the photo is not optimal with my smartphone. A scan might be better: The shadows of the staircase are indeed crushed together, but the man with the cello is what it should be when I compare the picture printed on glossy paper (larger gamut and deeper black) with a higher count...

    Printing PVC ID-card with color management

    Recently I bought an Canon TS705 printer, because I could not find a suitable ID Card tray for my Epson SC P900 printer (despite it supports printing on CD/DVD discs). Unfortunately the standard setting by the Canon printer was suboptimal: colours are washed out and greys have a brownish look...

    El Cheapo aquarelle paper from Action

    Hi Lothar, yes the profile is made with the +50% ink load, if not the contrast is suboptimal. So take care when making the profile the extra load in included. Due to the structure of the paper you must use 400 patch target when using the i1Pro2. I have made these profile using the...

    El Cheapo aquarelle paper from Action

    For only €1.99 I bought this cheap textured and thick aqurelle paper from Action (a discount shop all around Europe). It has a nice grain texture and a weight of 300 gsm, so very thick but can be easily printed in my Epson SC-P900 with very good results.....That is: I had to increase ink usage...

    Fill Cart with wrong Ink - What to Do?

    If you don't want to flush the carts: exchange the chips of the MK and PK and swap the cartridges accordingly and try to transfer the sticker: MK to PK and PK to MK. If not possible: write down MK and PK with a marker.

    Epson SC-P900 compatible cartridge chips: resettable or not ?

    Last I had a particular offer from somebody from Latvia, who wanted my Epson SC-P800 printer to be converted to DTF-printing. After some negotation talk he offered for an alternative deal: he wants to send his hardly used P900 printer for my Epson SC-P800 printer....Sounds like a great deal and...
