It is not possible that I am printing on the wrong side of the paper, because the other side of the paper has "HP PREMIUM PLUS" all over it.

I think I need to pick your brains on this. Note: My Monitors are calibrated but I have no hardware to make my own profiles 1) I managed to fix the ink pooling issue with the following settings Print quality = High Quiet Printing = On Bidirectional Printing = Off In addition to the above...

Somehow the print appears very dark placed next to a Epson Premium Glossy print When inspected under bright light the colors look fine, but in regular room light it looks very dark Does this have to do with the "ink limit"?

There is a print density setting, -50% to +20% under Maintenance -> Extended Settings Using Quality: High made a huge difference to the dark areas of the print, but is now producing a roller mark issue

Unlike Epson Premium Glossy, which produces a completely smooth result, HP Premium Plus paper seems to have indentations in the paper wherever more ink is put down.

I am having some trouble with this paper on a L18050... light blue and white sky turns out ok, but darker areas of the print has ink pooling issues I tried: Epson Matte paper setting instead of glossy Plain paper instead of glossy (this was the worst result) Quiet Mode = on (prints slower)...

My Epson L18050 comes with a set of paper profiles: Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Epson Matte Epson Ultra Glossy Epson Premium Glossy Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper Glossy (Is this a generic profile? No "Epson" Wording) However some Epson papers seems to be missing... Epson Economy Photo...

I made a mistake on the model name, I was referring to the TC20M which is an inktank printer. However although it is an inktank printer, the ink costs $65 / 70ml while pro-1000 ink costs $59 / 80ml...

@Ink stained Fingers Do you happen to have any data for 107 ink on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II? I happen to be able to get some A3 sheets at a discount

Only if you are fine with A4 photo printing. With photos bigger is better. Epson has dye inktanks that do A3+for not much more money than a G550 where I live. Canon has the 4 ink pigment inktank! Canon TC20M which can do 24" rolls (!) but only with roll paper on 2" cores. Its limited to A3...

Indeed, the bottled inks are significantly cheaper. I have picked up the L18050 on sale, so I suppose my search for a printer is over for now!

Do papers “expire”? I see some people selling their balance epson photo papers cheaply (6-7 euro equivalent / 20 sheets A4). Is Epson’s “Photo Quality Ink Jet paper” actually useful for color photo printing? (Or just stick to glossy and semi-gloss)

I intend to use a L18050 and I do not at this point have the capability to make my own printer profiles. Epson seems to have a range or papers, when would you go for each paper type? Epson Ultra Glossy Epson Premium Glossy Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper Glossy Epson Matte Epson Photo...

Given that the A3+ L18050 costs ~15% more than the A4 L8050, it would be nice to have a A2 option at maybe 30% more than the L8050 😂

The “blackness” of text on regular office A4 copier paper is significantly less “black” compared to a print from one of my laser printers on the same paper. It is more of a grey shade rather than black to my eyes. A fresh print on Canon photo paper does yield darker blacks in the photo as...

I do not really need “maximum” longevity, In the digital era longevity matters less than in the film era because I can do a re-print after 10-20 years. (Probably with a different image!) I would be willing to trade off some longevity for prints that look better in the first 10 years. Ink cost...

I am using canon GI-70 inks, they not good inks imo. Then again a large % of prints are documents Photos are kept indoors outside of direct Sun. I clipped them to a fishing line. Not at all near the refrigerator or ozone source I know of I notice that when prints are overlapped, the shaded...

Unfortunately the T230 (it’s called T250 here) costs 1,512 euro equivalent in Asia. At that price I would be better off going for the P900 Ditto for the T3100x (T3130x here) that’s $2750 euro equivalent here The P900 is 1225 euro and I don’t think I can justify that one either (printing...

I currently DO print with a 4 canon inktank, it’s perfectly fine for documents (black text is not as dark as a laser print, but it’s good enough) However for color photos, even on Canon glossy paper prints only look good for about a month before fading can be seen visually. After 6-12 months...

https://bermangraphics.com/press/wilhelm.htm This interview was interesting, but it is also 20 years old: 4-Ink Printers: Historically, 4-ink printers used cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) inks. These printers could exhibit a lack of smoothness and granularity in lighter areas due to...
