    Weird banding issue with ET-8550

    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...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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...

    Why can't all-in-one printers calibrate themselves with their built in scanners?

    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

    Why can't all-in-one printers calibrate themselves with their built in scanners?

    http://www.ddisoftware.com/prism/about.htm That software let you create printer profiles with a scanner , and you need an external reference target to start with to calibrate the scanner.

    Weird banding issue with ET-8550

    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...

    Brother DCP-J4110DW Print Profile

    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...

    Brother DCP-J4110DW Print Profile

    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.

    Brother DCP-J4110DW Print Profile

    ,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...

    Need info on Epson 8550 as a midlevel art printer using 3rd party pigment ink please!

    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...

    Epson EcoTank ET-8550: Pigment instead of Dye inks

    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.

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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...

    profiling with Epson Print Layout

    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...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    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...
