LOL!! :lol: I've been complaining to ColorThink about adding a scroll bar to their profile searching window as it takes me a couple of minutes to get to whatever ICC I'm looking for. They are working on it for a future edition as it surprised them too, but told me to make some other folder...

ISF, I figured the BCH Premium Dye would fade, probably on line with the Cone dye I tried once but it was gone in 3-4 days. I haven't tried a fade yet with the BCH as I've been using a lot of it. What is interesting is my blacks are pretty black though, and even blacker than the Epson pigment...

Fwiw, (And my online memo.) this was my mix of the BCH Premium Dye ink for the 3880: PK Black = Full Strength BCH Technologies Black Premium Dye Light Black (LK) = 50ml Clear Dye + 7ml Black Premium Dye Light Light Black (LLK) = 50ml Clear Dye + 3ml Black Premium Dye Magenta = Full Strength...

I had a look at the 3D in Colorthink Pro 3 of the Epson pigment and the BCH dye ink. The place where the BCH gains is in the reds and yellows, but the Epson pigment does better with the cyan and blues shown below. The wire-frame is the Epson pigment ink, and the solid is the BCH dye ink...

Try some silicon fuel line from your RC model hobby shop. I think mine carries 3-4 sizes and it stretches quite a bit to fit snugly. https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=QCB&P=6&D=Fuel-Lines W.F.

ISF, I'd be interested in what dye ink you've found to have a higher volume gamut. I may try it on the next load. Below is the +20% inkload of the BCH Premium Dye ink on Epson Glossy showing 703,000 for color volume. I know some printers do not allow you to set the ink load, but at least the...

I'm using ColorThink Pro 3 for the gamut volume size. I found increasing the ink load increases the gamut volume with that software. Going much higher in the ink load percentage setting suddenly causes it to drop fast. Sort of interesting and wish there was a faster way without printing test...

What I have found with the BCH ink is to load the Epson up to around 20-25% more ink load in the printer driver settings. I noticed the printed xrite and BasICColor profiling patches seemed a little bit lighter in color and increasing the ink load helped a lot. Wish there was a more accurate...

Couple of things to try. If you have access to a fiberglass scratch brush, use it on the tops of all the ink carts on the gold contacts. Sometimes some crud gets on them and can throw up a multiple cart "ink cart not seen error." Seems my Magenta Vivid and I think the Yellow seem to affect...

I wouldn't use ammonia as it reacts badly with copper if moisture is present. I believe much of what is in the print head is copper-based that has been etched. Specifics: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_copper_suitable_in_ammonia_system I've used ISO 91% and maybe stronger in a recent...

Dunno. I've had 3D printed parts break with a little stress applied. They were under warranty and the place that made them made them thicker on the updated part, but you could still see the 3D printer fiber strands where they were built up. See the photo below where one bracket cracked...

haha! :plbb Already did by printing with it this AM. Loaded up the ink carts and changed the maintenance cart. All seems well and the USB worked as it should too. Nozzle checks 100% good. Wish I had the "Epson Service Program" to further tune it, maybe better than factory. Found one on...

Success! Working again. LCD lit up right after a brief brush of the ribbon cable contacts with a fiberglass scratch brush. One maintenance cleaning seems to have brought it all back to good nozzle checks again after have been disassembled (Maybe some air in line prior.). Windows 10 must have...

I'd suggest you also get a x-rite ColorMunki Photo and make your own profiles since you are self-loading ink. The new version of the device's software does a really good job with B&W images too. Makes the ordeal a lot easier and faster too. I've been using BCH Technologies dye ink for a while...

Five hours and got the bloody carriage thing installed. But now the LCD display won't light up! Power comes on and makes sounds like it is working and head moves again. Suspect the ribbon cable to LCD is messed up. Thing is a mess of ribbon cables and a lot of them are bent into special...

Part showed up from China to USA, from the date from whenever I ordered it on here (Aug. 26,2018). About 9-10 days given the Labor Day holiday. Seems the new print-head carrying part of the carriage sticks a bit on sliding up and down, but maybe it will break in. Used a bit of dry silicon oil...

Check ebay as they have some refurbished and new. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC0.A0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=Epson+wf-4734&_sacat=51328 However, the cost may exceed the printer price though as I saw new one for $350 in USA, and that printer was around $299...

I see that gray bar around 5:30 mark that shows a couple of screws in it on top of the carriage area, although the parts manual shows five screws holding it on in total. I think that's what goes on top of the part that broke off. Must be some sort of slide for the top part of the carriage that...

I've used the CA glue + baking powder in model airplanes and balsa wood when I was into that stuff. The problem with the broken piece is trying to get it back into where it came out. I pried and wiggled the piece before it came out, and it was like working a puzzle. I don't know how to get...

Seems some flat spring by the upper right white gear in the carriage may have fatigued the plastic there and broke it loose. I wiggled it and fished it out and can see the underside where it snapped off the carriage and was jamming the thing. I may try and re-glue the piece with the spring off...
