I have the 3800's 2nd cousin, the 3880. Somewhere in the past I had the entire thing tore apart and saw that spring. I believe it is one of many around the print head and carriage assembly. The print head portion (that the print head proper is screwed into with three screws) sort of floats...

Thanks. I somewhere read on here about maybe making a blue ink with the magenta and cyan? I think it was 60% magenta and 40% cyan? That green black looks awful to me and why I used the old Selenium Toner by Kodak in the darkroom days which made it cooler into a bluish black tint and got rid...

Been mixing up a batch for seven carts in a 3880 using the Claria Black, as well as Claria Magenta and Yellow for tint, as a base and cutting the rest with clear. Sort of a K7 B&W mix with dye. Problem is the Claria Black dye has a sort of greenish-black cast when diluted on the paper. So I...

Check your "Display Scaling" settings, or Google for it. No doubt you have some non-standard setting that the software doesn't like. AutoCAD had an issue too where user's had to reset to their recommended display settings as some went to wide screens and text was overlapping and it wasn't...

I just checked the new CM version on Windows 10-64x with an Eizo CG-248-4K monitor and it is fine here. nVidia 980 graphics card, fwiw.

There was some sort of clear grease on my 3880 rod. Not having whatever it was, I just wipe it with a piece of felt and some Pfaff brand sewing machine oil. The oil may be silicon based as it is super thin, but it is safe for the plastic parts like the thread's bobbin shuttle and nylon...

Some of the screw-ups I had in the Anniversary Edition might have been addressed Sept. 29th (Not a Tuesday update?) according to the MS Updates page. Lot of changes made there. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history?ocid=update_setting_client Wonder if the...

I had a disaster with the Anniversary edition. Some apps refused to start (little blue spinning wheel forever), or very long startup times. Then I noticed all the printers were removed so I had to start each one of the six tied into the USB port to get them back. Then their Cortana becomes...

Hard to say what damage is done or if something isn't right. There is also the possibility of a carriage and head strike off the capping station if it was in a position where the head got banged against it - or just a nasty paper head strike too. That part you may see once you tear into it and...

On the right outside case of the printer, there is a little silver cover about where the capping station is. If you remover that (difficult) cover, there is a white gear under it you can turn by hand that lowers and raises the capping station as well as moves the wiper to and fro. The head...

In Windows 10, you can go into "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" and keep programs from going out and also incoming both. Ain't easy to get there, but there is a bunch of stuff in there once you find it. There is one popular printing program that has an optional annual renewal that...

I saw this on the news. http://www.eizoglobal.com/press/releases/htmls/qcm.html Anyone have an Eizo monitor that can try this on? Supposedly it works on Epson and Canon printers. I see they put the software on the Eizo website downloads area already that works with some of the Eizo monitors...

For wblackwell: I referenced the first two blacks on the basICColor Catch 5.0 four pages of test images where they read about L*=20.0. They appear a couple of times on each page of four pages from the BC test scans page so I selected them rather than hunt for a blacker black or print a density...

While profiling this new HD-PK Photo Black ink for some PremierArt Gloss White Canvas, I found "zero changes" in L* dMax between it and the old photo black ink on the same canvas. Weird when compared to the difference in glossy papers above. So some of this new ink's blackness must be based on...

I just tried it in a 3880 and I'm impressed. My L* went from 9.0 down to 3.5 off the basICColor test image with the two black starting patches on the beginning of each page. My old ones measured 9.0, and this new ink measured out to a much lower 3.5. Same held true for another glossy paper as...

Anyone use this new photo black ink yet? If so, did you get a better dMax black with it? http://shop.inkjetmall.com/ConeColor-Pro-ink-700ml-HD-Photo-Black.html W. Fisher

Hey Roger! I really do like that Innova Warm Cotton Gloss IFA45 for portraits that you recommended. It has added lot of snap to the portraits over a canvas I was using when looking at them side-by-side. Being warmer, it helps a lot with the skin color overall and the blacks are very deep and...

I agree with Roy. Some of the high-end notebooks (Sagar?) are getting to the 99% Adobe RGB if they're not already more. I watched some Creative Live class where the compositor (i.e. A retoucher who is more like an illustrator.) was using some $6,500 Windows calibrated laptop or notebook for...

Found this in the FAQ section of BasICColor's website and thought it interesting. » I get unsatisfying results when calibrating a MacBook. What can I do? Placement of the measuring device directly opposite the 'Apple' symbol on the backside of the screen negatively affects the calibration...

That head alignment looks odd. I'll guess it was the automatic one and not manually set, but it looks like #4 is off where it picked 4 and maybe manually selecting 2 or 3 would be a better fit? I'd also try re-installing the printer drivers or see if there are newer ones. If those two don't...
