I could assume that the paper is not cut strictly rectangular - just put 2 sheets on top of each other - one sheet just turned around by 180 deg - don't mix front and backside. What do you get ?

That's disappointing, you apparently got a pretty worn up replacement printer on wlhich Epson probably replaced the printhead, reset the page counter and added a new waste ink pad. I don't have an idea what could have happened to the index disc.

I purchased the manual quite some time ago, and since I didn't need it yet for my ET-8550 it slowly went into a dark corner of a cabient. The manual refers to the adjustment program which you have to buy separately, I don't have it.

The nozzle check states that just 151 pages are printed, that's normally not a situation in wlhich such ghosting occurs from ink fog on the timing strip which controls the horizontal movement of the carriage. But give it a try - this timing strip can be cleaned with a piece of kitchen paper...

I found my copy of the ET-8550 service manual, it contains a section to adjust banding but it requires an 'adjustment program' as Epson calls its service/maintenance programs. Such service software is available on the internet for a charge. I think the only action you can take is an iterative...

We discussed in great detail the capabilities and limitations of the T2100 , the restrictions by the one time chips and their pricing is a limiting factor to do lots of printing on it. And it's not a photo printer by Epson terms - the word 'photo' is nowhere mentioned at all in the T2100...

I need to search for a copy of the service manual to see if there are any specific actions to your problem, I didn't need it so far so it must be somewhere at the bottom of a pile......

This would need to be a chemical test for the installed ET-8550 inks - pretty impractical for a regular user. You would have only one option - replacing the inks either by printing them away or sucking them out. When you look to the printhead carriage there is a cover over the cartridge like...

Thanks for the info, the printer is shipped palletized as per Keith cooper's test report, that will increase the shipping rate, and the forwarder will have to do customs clearance and makes a handling charge for it. I'm told by several dealers that Epson is shipping printers to the dealers...

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

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.

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...

The business region U.S, vs. Europe/EU

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...
