After studying the wealth of advises about how to start learning to print in B&W I invested quite some time in using color images, converting and printing. It is with some hesitance that I attach to this a copy of a B&W image I made from our daughter, hoping to read your critique and advice to...

Just by chance I found a supplier of the (black) "refill adapter" which Jtoolman uses in his videos regarding modifying and refilling Epson 3800/3880 carts. OctoInkjet in the UK offers this adapter (in white color) and doesn't require the purchase of large quantities. You can buy just one at...

@Birdie You asked: "Is there some place I can get fresher chipsets? Or send these out for resetting (if possible - I have no idea if they were at or below 15% but I think I have the old carts). I tried hard to find chips to replace the OEM chips on the Epson carts. So far I haven't found any...

@Birdie It must be Epson trying to make it impossible to use re-filled OEM carts? The first thing to watch is when the green light comes up when resetting, to keep it like that until the green light extinguishes. I had a problem that after a successful reset the former ink level on the LCD was...

@martin0reg, - I have like you, a resetter with a check next to WT-3800E on the package. But this will also not reset LK, LLK and Vivid LM, - then my new resetter called QE 589 Chip resetter which resets all 9 chips of the Pro 3880 to full. I opened the QE 589 and took a picture of its logo...

Joe: Is the Firmware update on the Pro 3880, as in the LFP Remote Panel 2, to be applied by the user or an automatic matter? Harry

Please find herewith a picture of the resetter that will reset all 9 carts of the Pro 3880 to full . Seller "RJ International Group, Inc - Winnetka Ca. 91306, email: .... Removed ! Harry

@martinOreg The new resetter produces a green light on the three carts mentioned before. This was not the case with my older resetters. Just red no green lights I have driver version 9,33 and firmware vP030D8+ LFP Remote Panel informs that this is the latest update. Harry

This morning I received the new resetter I ordered from "RJ International Group, Inc - Winnetka Ca. 91306" As I wrote before I could not reset: T5807 LK, T5809 LLK and T580B vivid LM. I tested the new resetter as follows: - I opened the ink cover; - Took out the first cart T5807, which so far...

This would not be necessary because I have the complete new set of carts that came with the new 3880. However as I wrote before the new T5809 (LLK) and the new T580B( viv LM), can not be reset to full with my resettersI I wait for the resetter on its way to me and hope that that will solve the...

@The Hat: Can you help me, or anybody out there, to find detailed information regarding how finding firmware upgrades in the 3880 software and how to turn these off? Harry

Although I invested already in 4 resetters in the course of more than a year with very lilted success, I decided to give it another final try because the seller "directfineart@gmail.com" in California was very convincing that his resetter would reset all carts on my 3880. Also the price was...

I recently replaced a Pro 3800 by a new Pro 3880. I kept a set of 9 old carts of my 3800 (dated 2009) which had been made re-fillable. I did put these old carts in the new 3880. All carts were accepted in the 3880 except T5806 (LM) and T5803 (M). I then purchased second hand, T580A (viv M)...

As far as using e.g. the ICC profiles that Eric Chan developed for the Pro 3880, I have read that with the latest Epson drivers for the Mac (which I assume I must have on my new 3880) you can no longer use these ICC profiles in conjunction with the ABW printing mode if you select "LR manages...

I do have Lightroom 5 and I am going to follow the advise you gave me and learn printing in B&W. There is one matter that still confuses me: I understood from what I read that in B&W mode one can not or shouldn't use ICC profiles. However Eric Chan did built special ICC profiles for the...

To be honest, so far I have never printed a black & White photograph. I like to start the advent of doing so, but I would highly appreciate to receive some advise to how to go about doing so. Can I just take a photograph I like, and use my printers (3880) Black & White setting and print? It must...

Thank you both for your advises which were most helpful The info on the LCD confirms that the firmware is P030D8. Harry

* I forgot how to determine what the actual firmware version is on my Pro 3880? * As far as I know it seems to be impossible to remove firmware from the Epson Pro 3880 software? Is this correct? Thank you for you're reply. Harry

Thank you Pharmacist for your clear explanation of the reasons why so much ink is dumped! Harry

I just started using my new Pro 3880. I printed an auto nozzle check and a few 5 x 7" photos I noticed that there is already a lot of ink in the waste tank. An empty tank weights 179 g, mine already 285 g. Is it normal that I have already used 106 g approx. 106 ml mainly black ink?
