    Media Black Points and Fading Test 106 114 T54C GI-53

    I just got a set of T49H dye ink bottles - 150 ml - for the T3100X - which I have to use up since I loaded pigment inks into the T3100X instead, leftover pigment inks from the gone P7600

    Media Black Points and Fading Test 106 114 T54C GI-53

    I'm a prime user of Epson hardware and Epson/Epson compatible inks, I tested Canon inks in the past when I got such inks which I then included into the tests, and I still have plenty of leftover inks from other previous tests. Chromalife 100+ inks are only available in cartridges for the Pro...

    Nice free eBook/PDF about ColorManagent

    That book looks pretty good but requires some pre-knowledge about methods , tools and materials for commercial printing

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I got the T3100X delivered last Friday - on a Europallet on an Epson pallet - the printer with all its styropore is covered by a big box open at the bottom and strapped to a pallet with several strong straps. I got the printer initialized and running with pigment inks - leftovers from my old...

    Color management issue with ET8550 please help

    May I draw your attention to a flag in the driver which affects the handling of profile settings in application software e.g. PaintShop - and not in the driver. It's in the extended settings on the maintenance tab of the ET-8550 driver I'm using Qimage and cannot tell you which impact this...

    Media Black Points and Fading Test 106 114 T54C GI-53

    I'm placing the test targets into the outside environment with a varying amount of sun, humidity, temperature and UV radiation which all I don't measure so I can't even come close to Aardenburg numbers, not to talk even about issues with the reciprocity approach Aardenburg and Wilhelm Research...

    My Epson L8180 prints skewed photos

    Thanks for keeping us informed; so we can assume that the problem could not be adjusted away and could have been an assembly problem.

    Carts repeatedly lost to mold (?). What to do?

    Not really - you just need to move the printhead carriage a bit out of the way - just power up the printer and pull the power cord as soon as the carriage starts moving. This moves the carriage out of the way and you can easily move it around. And please do a nozzle check after the purge - scan...

    Who has the longest running inkjet printer?

    Printer hoarding was already a subject in the forum quite some time ago https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/introducing-hansteis.11138/post-93654 I dumped my 20 year old Epson Pro 7600 about half a year ago and have an Epson SC-T3100X on order which is supposed to be delivered just...

    ET-8550 media type for profiling

    That's with the VFA setting which uses the pigment inks only; pigments don't soak as much into the paper as dye inks - the pigments are larger. Pigment inks smear off on glossy papers Printing software Qimage simply tells you which resolution is active with an image and which particular driver...

    ET-8550 media type for profiling

    the different paper settings may go with different ink limit settings for different papers - an ink limit per color and a total for mixed colors - mixed as C+M+Y+B; different coatings need different ink limits - you may otherwise get ink puddles on the paper - with by far too much ink for a...

    Selecting colours during printing

    I would do that already at the time of scanning - I don't have your printer but there should be a B/W mode at which you can adjust the threshold in a preview.

    Epson 106 vs. 114 ink fading performance

    The ET-7750 got phased out since quite a while, and dealers have been/are clearing inventory of the 106 inks: I did some testing of the 106 vs. the 114 inks some time ago - both are very good performing inks - with its longevity and gamut . I'm doing the same using the 106 inks in my current...

    My Epson L8180 prints skewed photos

    I'm using the service manual, not the user mnl , there is a paper skew adjustment mentioned on p 148 but I'm not sure whether that would fix your problem

    My Epson L8180 prints skewed photos

    I must admit I'm a kind of lost about the effect you are having; I'm looking into the service manual and see on p148 that a paper skew adjustment can be done - with the adjustment program which you would have to buy separately to the manual if available at all, and it is not clear that this...
