Thank you for your help. It is somewhat strange to see that Hahnemühle uses for all their MK papers the Epson Media type: 'Velvet Fine Art Paper" and for all their PK papers the Epson Media type: "Ultra Premium Photo Paper" In the Print settings for Epson Pro 3880 the media type "Velvet Fine Art...

Roy: Thank you for the file of the "Harman ICC Profiles" for the Epson 3880, which shows In the third column the "Media Settings" for these Harman papers. The Media Settings have to be used in the Print Setting of the Lightroom Print menu to obtain the correct print quality when using Harman...

I am preparing the test of some sample packs of Canson and Hahnemühle papers on my Epson 3880. For the Canson Papers the valid "Media Types" are presented clearly in a document by Canson: "ICC profiles & Printer color calibration settings". So far I have not yet found the same information for...

I used for more than 4 years a Pro 3800 and now for 2 years a Pro 3880. I use Lyson inks to refill the original OEM Epson carts, (after removal of the contra valve that made refilling not possible - method jtoolman). I use my Pro 3880 rather infrequent with long periods of no printing. The way...

The papers that are being offered for photo printing have become very extensive and it has become complicated to understand "what to use when?". I like to understand the kind/types of papers are being offered, and what to use in specific printing situations. I looked this subject up in Internet...

Thank you "The Hat". Now and then solutions can look really easy! Harry

What would be the best method for an intensive cleaning of the Mylar bag in an empty Epson 3880 cart in which Lyson ink has been used? I seems to be difficult (?) to remove all of the prior chemistry because of the internal valve area in the Epson Pro 3880. On the other hand after having...

The Hat and Roger, Thank you both for your responses! Harry

When I plan to print borderless on my Pro 3880, I make (I think) a correct selection in menu "Print" and in "Page Set up" (borderless) and even check this setting in "Printer settings" where I get confirmation that the setting is okay. In "Image Settings" I check "Zoom to fill" and in "Layout"...

Dear Print Master; Thanks you for useful response. I'll try Cone ink as soon as I need new ink supply. Harry

I am using for quite some time Lyson inks on my Epson Pro 3880. I am quite happy with these inks which I can buy in Germany. This avoids the hassle and charges of customs and often high international transportation costs when purchased in the USA. I just read that Cone has a sales office in...

Thank you for the clear information! Not really a simple replacement of the OEM chips, I feel! Harry

I am trying to find a supplier of chips to replace the OEM Epson chips on the cartridges of the Pro 3880. (Not ARC chips!) I did run in to Chip Decoder boards for cartridges for Epson Pro 3880. What is the difference between Chips to replace original OEM Chips on carts, and these Chip Decoder...

I now have three Epson carts LLK for Pro 3880. I can reset them all get the green light and wait until the green light stops. In my 3880, when I use one of these three (well filled) LLK carts, I get the message that this is not a genuine Epson cart etc. (which is wrong because it is) and then...

Strange that there seems to be nobody interested in resetters for Epson Pro 3880? Harry

Lau: I am using the profiles that come with Tecco paper like TC_SP3880_PL285_2880_301109_2 and my screen is handel by X-rite Harry

I have been using the "QE 589 Chip Resetter", suitable for (a.o.) the Epson Pro 3880 printer. For a while I could reset all 9 cartridges of the 3880, but now suddenly this resetter doesn't reset anymore the (fully filled) LLK cartridge! I have no explanation for this. The strange thing is that I...

Roy: thank you for trying! Harry

I am on a iMac (mac OS sierra) and my 3880 is connected via USB cable. Harry

I like to make sure that my Firmware for Pro 3880 can not be updated automatically, but only manually. Question: in what way can I avoid auto update? It seems that Epson can also use iMac software to auto update Firmware on the Pro 3880? If so, how can I avoid that to happen against my will...
