I forgot to consider that you already got a replacement printer by Epson service, the fogged timing strip occurs typically after a longer usage period. Do you see the same letter offset/distortion with bidir. printing off ?
Did I understand you correctly that the banding - the stripes - do not...
I'm a kind of puzzled that several of my recent printers didn't stay that long with me - the Canon TC20 went to a friend of mine, and the Epson T2100 found a new home at my son. Both are interested to have the print capability for larger formats now and then , I explained in detail the...
oh well - it's all marketing - just get an Epson P5000 with a spectrometer or some similar models from Canon - and you get your profiles almost on the fly

That software let you create printer profiles with a scanner , and you need an external reference target to start with to calibrate the scanner.
Such printout could be a sign that the timing strip needs some cleaning after such a long time of usage.
Could you do a print for comparison - this same text element - with the driver option - bidirectional printing off -
to compare, it's on the 'more options' tab.
The timing strip in...
I'm not clear what is so unique of the print from the 'printer place', they most likely use icc-profiles for their papers and inks, it is very well possible that they use Epson inks on Epson papers and print with an Epson printer - or print on a Canon printer with Canon inks and papers . Get an...
As you are not getting the results as expected with the color adjustment mode you may go and get a custom icc-profile for your ink and paper.
Companies like Marrutt offer you to create a custom icc profile for you for free if you buy papers from them
All purchases come with a free custom ICC...
You can do the color adjustments without the 'enhancements' , that's a variable element you cannot control when and how much colors are adjusted If you think some image needs an adjustment - a boost or whatever - do that in your photo editor.
,You are lright that Brother does not support actitvely icc profiles when printing. You should not use a driver setting of which the effects are context sensitive e.g. 'Photo enhance' - you don't know what the driver is doing and what the driver is doing differently for different images e.g...
The use of 3rd party (pigment) inks on 3rd party paper will most likely require you to get color icc-profiles created for your specific combinations of inks and papers, some paper suppliers may have icc profiles available for their selection of papers, used with dye inks, and precisioncolors as...
It's a matter of both the paper and the inks how they perform together, this matte paper may very well yield better performance with pigment inks - gamut and black level - than with dye inks, but I don't see another technical reason not to use dye inks on that paper.
I have a patch sheet editor as part of my i1Profiler program package which allows me to modify a patchsheet - you can add or remove color patches or relocate them, you just enter patch colors by the RGB value.
I would expect that you are better off on the ArgyllCMS website with related support links.

A chipless printer is effectively a tank system printer - Mega - or Eco- - with the firmware just bypassing the subroutines handling the chips in a 'normal' printer - and not having the Ecotank tubing installed. So it could very well be that this company in Peru - a programmer there - is just...
As long as you let the printer administer the colors you should use the printer driver to make the settings there - specifically 'No color adjustments' via the extended color adjustment settings. And you need to use the same driver settings when you use that profile which you have created and...
There is no resetter available at this time so a reuse of the chips is not possible, but yes - the reuse - accidentally - of a serial number is principally possible - the interface is just active between the chip on the cartridge and the printer - the computer can be offline all the time. It is...
I'm doing refill on my T2100 and use original Epson cartridges for it, I had leakage problems at the ink outlet with a 3rd party cart. But it is not easy to identify the right place where to drill a hole into the cart, I removed a pretty strong foil from one side of the cart and got this...
It's nice to hear from you that the printer arrived and you got it installed and working. The printer just comes with the T40Cx cartridges - the small ones with 25 ml - or even less as start up cartridges.
I don't know if I mentioned it before - there is an optional simple paper tray available...
