Thanks. I was confused by Quad Tone RIP using different initials for the inks . V for violet is not supported yet VM (vivid Magenta) and VLM Vivid Light Magenta) are supported. I believe QTR is using M instead of VM which Epson uses, and also LM in QTR, while Epons uses VLM (see the nozzle...

I agree with @x64. You are seeing software issues with Quad Tone RIP and it is distracting you. To help you understand, here are the Windows reelease notes for QuadToneRIO version 2.8.2 (most recent I believe). Note that it mentions not supporting all ten inks of the P900, simulating black...

I agree with x64 about focusing on the nozzle check issues and clearing those up first both the VM and Y ink channels. I'm not sure about being able to discern the cyan leakage from the image, given its off-color, and it is a JPEG image, which can significantly alter fine colors due to its...

Also, can you share an image of the nozzle check pattern? John Wheeler

Hi Carsten, I too have an Epson P900, and the color of the tubes is the same in mine, and mine is working. The problem lies in the regular magenta channel, whose issue remains unresolved. I would not spend any time on the six color test patterns. Those patterns do their best to reproduce the...

Hi @pdan I am jumping in late to the discussion, and I don't have the 8550 yet. I do have the P900, and I do use a Macbook Pro. I do use the full Epson drivers (not AirPrint) and wanted to walk through the driver's screens on the P900. I am doing this through Photoshop. It won't be the same...

Hi @Oleg67 We are jumping around on the type of images you are trying to print with your printer, so it's a bit more difficult to help. I am writing to inform you that, unfortunately, the printer is not designed for fine-level grayscale or photographic reproduction, but rather for text and...

Hi @Oleg67 This is not a printer quality issue. It is not an ink nozzle issue as you have a laser color printer. The issue you're experiencing is likely due to using the incorrect setting when printing. I am not an expert on all the modes and settings available, yet I can recreate your image...

HI @epsonxp15kuser I don't have or use that Epson printer so what is below are just suggestions from the web yet they make sense as possible problem areas: When an Epson XP-15000 print bulges or bows outward on one side (like the right edge of the print), it usually points to a paper feed or...

I don't think your printer supports just B&W with the Black cartridge only over the long haul. Here is a table from the web summarizing what can be done: Over the long haul, it would less expensive to use a B&W laser printer for your needs. Less expensive per page and you don't run into any...

Hi Mike L You don't give much information such as which software approach you are using for scanning as there are several ways to do scanning to the computer. Without more details, here is a more broadbrush approach answer for the several ways to go about scanning and what to do when it does...

I am no expert and this list is from the internet. You have done a number of these steps yet I thought it was worth sharing. It is followed by a list of location of the sensors in the printer that might help you look in all the possible loations. Epson ET-2400 – Paper Jam Indication Sources...

I am not a Windows user (I'm on a Mac) so this list is from online of items that you coud check into: 1. Confirm the USB Connection Basics Use a known-good, shielded USB 2.0 cable no longer than ~6 ft. The ET-8550 is picky about signal quality over longer cables. Make sure the cable is...

Are you using Epson OEM in your printer? John Wheeler

Just my opinion yet bypassing paper jam sensor/sensors is a potential fire hazard if the jam occurs in the fuser possibly turning an annoyance into a much more serious issue putting your or the eventual end user at risk. As I understand that machine, there are multiple sensors involved for...

Hi @LiveNudeDann It does not appear to be one of the basic issues. Since I don't own such a printer, this advice comes from what I have read and heard. It is important that you are using the Epson CD/DVD software and when starting it, that the CD/DVD option is selected. This step causes the...

Great pictures that show the problem Are you using original Epson OEM INK cartridges? Not all inks work with printing CD / DVDs? John Wheeler
