Sorry to be a bit late reading about the actual problem. I don't know why they call that Horizontal. It is calibrating the paper feed. It prints a bar feeds some paper and prints another bar. If it feeds too little the bars overlap and you see a dark line. If it feeds too much there is a gap...

Thanks for sharing your resolution testing results. You didn't say what printer you used. For the investigation I have been using really cheap crappy gloss photo paper. The ET-8550 feed rollers leave indentations and I see pin wheel holes. I still consider it adequate for comparisons. I tried...

You don't have to use the Bambu cloud. I don't let the slicer access the internet at all never mind be logged into a Bambu account. The printers used to have to be logged into a Bambu account to retrieve firmware updates, but, recently they supported firmware update from SD Card. I block all but...

I am not suggesting that printers can't do all kinds of things depending on media settings. I am looking for evidence that the ET-8550 does any of those things dependant on which of its 5 glossy media settings is used. As far as I can tell it doesn't which means there is no need to worry about...

When I profile the same paper with 4 different glossy media settings and get 4 pretty much identical profiles how can the printer be doing anything different other than possibly changing dot patterns which would not show on solid color swatches? The driver installs 5 non-matt profiles only 4 of...

An ET-8550 arrived, is filled with 105/106/114 ink, and now I need to create some profiles. So back to the question I had with the ET-7750 - what media type for what paper? There are 4 non-matt media types available in the driver Ultra Glossy Premium Glossy Premium Semigloss Glossy The...

Thanks for your opinion which is not unexpected. Swapping to all 114 and having to profile again will be very tedious and wasteful so I want to be very sure before filling with 105/106. Do you think there is any difference between 105 BK and 114 BK?

I have a Brother MFC-L8650CDW. It had been fine then suddenly started reporting a paper jam on every duplex sheet. Jamming with the paper in exactly the same position about half way sucked back into the printer for duplexing. After a lot if internet searching and head scratching the solution...

Given a new ET-8550 replacing an ET-7750 and given I already have 4 sets of 105/106 ink (bought when I saw them for cheap), Also given I will be generating ICC profiles for all photo papers I care about should I fill the ET-8550 with 114 ink or 105/106 ink and 114 grey? I am leaning towards...

How many motors do you think a delta uses for a single axis?

Lol at someone complaining about inaccuracy and calibration of core xy printers while telling us a new delta printer is going to be a game changer. Also complaining about bias of 'influencer' videos while posting (completely unbiased - lol) videos from the machine manufacturer. This guy has...

This guy after testing P1Ps against his Prusas decided it was worth the risk of adding another 9 P1Ps to his print farm. Shop Nation.

I know nothing about this particular printer. My guess would be the head is loose on the rods or rails or whatever carries it. Tension from the belt is causing the head to twist on a vertical axis producing the vertical offset of some dots dependant on how far the nozzle is from the twisting...

The most popular download on Bambu's Makerworld site is an 87 hour print for a fancy riser to lift one of their AMS units a few inches higher while sitting on top of an X1 or P1 printer. What proportion of X1 and P1 owners have an AMS? What proportion of them were interested enough to download...

The ET-7750 doesn't have a lid sensor or at least my ET-7750 has never had one that does anything. It does have a sensor/switch for the ink tank lid. If you are using windows the printer status display (double click the printer icon) will show if a job is still being spooled to the printer...

I have never noticed my 7750 take a 'coffee break', but, I mostly print photos and occasionally up to 5-6 pages of plain paper. When printing those 5-6 pages it will sometimes pause to do a quick bit of nozzle clean or head wipe or something. If it just stops and waits quietly I would suspect...

I don't have a PRO-1000, but, am thinking about it and have looked at refilling options. I have never seen a physical cartridge. I saw the precisioncolors monitoring thing and thought it a bit complicated and expensive. I wondered if you could somehow visibly check ink levels and here I see...

lol at lbs of paper. Pound weights are per ream so it depends on paper size and they can't even exactly decide on how many sheets there are in a ream. Clearly Americans should be specifying paper in ounces per square foot:)

Errm. The OP is saying he wants to print about 2500 3x5" photo quality images a month. That's about 260 sq ft of image. I thought it was a bout 1.5ml of ink per sq ft so 390ml of ink a month and cartridges for those Canon Maxify printers seem to be about 2$/ml or 780$ a month in ink. Did I get...
