I am thinking to try some Epson SC-P900 aftermarket chips that can used as an alternative to original Epson chips. The only thing is that most items are specified to be one time chip..... That is a bit confusing, because I had once bought refillable cartridges with one time chips for my Epson...

Very strange indeed: the most common problem is the internal reflecting points are tarnished giving you the error the Colormunki wheel is not in the right position. This forces you to open the device and clean those reflector points so the Colormunki wheel will pin point correctly when rotating...

Today my first resetter for the cartridge chip has arrived. Interestingly the resetter is USB-c driven. No battery included. Aliexpress seems to deliver very fast: 7-days delivery. Unfortunately the other resetter and refillables were sent back to the company due to some administrative problems...

I know that, but guess what: to harvest this ink you will need to install new cartridges that pushes that ink towards the print head, so the ink "invoice" will be delayed towards the new cartridges.

That is way better compared to my Epson SC-P900 primary initialisation process. I have read it is even worse with the P700: only 10% left in the cartridges. I don't understand: the P800 is similarly built, pressurized too, flushing also needed to prime the tubing system/print head, but I ended...

So that is about 16 ml loss per cartridge....The tubing system towards the print head should be about the same distance and some ml's needed to purge and clean the nozzles to properly prime the print head with the ink. The P800 needs to prime 9 tubes with each 16 ml, makes 9x16= 144 ml's. The...

Yesterday I installed my Epson SC-P900 cartridges that is supplied with an extra waste ink tank inside the large box.... I now understand why: Above the weight of the new and unused waste ink tank: about 100 grammes But after the long priming and purging the tubing system and print head...

Would the Canon TM-240 an alternative ? the CISS cartridges seem to be refillable (ink levels should be disabled) and has photo black too (+ matte black). I am thinking about an A1 with rotary cutter that is able to cut canvas rolls too (so the cutter must be strong enough to deal with this type...

Yes I did have that off set too: towards blue. To really correct his you will need the OBC (Optical Brightness Compensation) profiling setting in iProfiler (you will need that special test chart with grey/black patches), but I am not sure because I do not have that special test target.

What about the Canon TM-240 24 inch printer using 5 colours: it has both MBK and PK pigment ink included ? Would that be a suitable alternative to your ecotank printer. It has cartridges, but they seem to be very easily refilled. One could buy a set of refillable cartridges and transfer the chip...

Try to clean the gold contacts of the chip sensor inside the printer with a long Q-tip drenched in pure isopropanol and also the chips of your cartridges. Have a look with a torch if the contacts are levelled and not indentated.

For those who have downloaded my target set: I just discovered the tif-target is the older version I made previously and I made a correction of the tif-target in order to have an optimized scanning experience, because the older version it used to align towards the right border of the scanning...

You can regenerate the target again: printtarg -v -ii1 -n -a0.8 -T360 -P -pA4 875-target this produces patch layout for i1Pro (-ii1) with a smaller (80%) of the normal patch size at 360 dpi with 16-bit TIFF format (-T360), without spacers (-n) on A4 paper size (-pA4) from the 875-target.ti1...

Today I made a profile with the lower 480-patch target and see if there is any visible difference compared to the higher cound 875-target. The result might surprise you: to my eyes the difference is not visible. Above the 875 patch target and below the specially made 480 low patch target Here...

Both newer profiles are ok to my eyes and don't have any visible errors in both iccview.de and softproofing in PS (relative colorimetric and NO black point compensaton). You are doing more than well. :thumbsup

I suggest to scan quite slowly: start with pressing the button and wait for about 2 seconds before moving the i1Pro2 to the other side of the row in about 4 seconds time and when you reach the other side, hold the button another 2 seconds before releasing it. It take some exercise to move the...

Good to know. I can optimize my 480 patch target in such a way that more samples are taken from the same colour patch when strip reading. My 480 patch target already can produce very good profiles and good neutral BW-prints. This way the reflection problem maybe averaged more when the scanning...

Would it possible to put a polarizing filter into the i1Pro2. I know you can disassemble the scanning eye and there is glass filter inside the scanner.

Do you store your photo cartridges in a air tight box (type tupperware or similar) to prevent drying ? There are special sealing clips available at aliexpress.com that can be used to seal the nozzles of your photo cartridges. You mean with photo cartridge the special photo cartridge with photo...

softproofing (choose relative colormetric and NO black point compensation) is essential to see of the profile data is scanned properly. Scanning errors will be visible in unexpected color changes in color and b&w gradients. I sometimes see unexpected stripes in a color gradient from white to...
