Thanks for the info. Do you have a recommended cut or dilution ratio for the LC, LM, Light Light Black, and Light Black? I think I used the Fujifilm black dye inks prior which held up pretty well. The cut ratios were pretty big for the lighter blacks with a clear ink, i.e. lots more clear ink...

I think my era of playing with sundry B&W inksets and using QTR with one 3880 is over. I'd like to revert it back to a color dye ink printer instead. Given the price of Piezo Flush is so expensive to throw down the drain for a full lfush, anyone got a formula to clean out the tanks and lines...

I recently noticed on the Epson website some of the drivers are no longer available as standalones and some seem to become part of the Windows updates. If Epson has gone to that method with "Microsoft's Update Tuesday," I could see it disabling the resetable chips (per Jon Cone's emailed...

I ran into a small problem with a drone and the wide angle lenses they use on them with regards to color in editing. The x-rite or Macbeth Colorchecker chart is just too small to capture in post editing work so I needed a larger one. Could be handy at some sites too with landscapes and the...

There is a old post on Luminous Landscapes where someone took a 3880 apart and speaks of springs and issues with taking it apart and putting it back together again and priming it. There might be photos on it too, but I'm not a member so I cannot see them. Sounds like his was dragging the print...

After I put the thing back together I had to waste a lot of ink priming it. The pump is on the left side and it does all the air pumping into the carts, but getting it too the head takes a lot more ink than I thought by just doing power cleanings, let it sit for a while, and try again. Might...

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...
