I cannot get rid of the impression that the above posting has been generated with some AI/chatGPT software around keywords like ' printer - ink - cartridge - compatible - grayscale - refill' and the webmaster is testing us.........

thanks for your feedback reporting this quite unusual problem.

If I understand you correctly you didn't print for a month - this is quite a typical cause for clogged nozzles - specifically with pigment inks which are more prone to clogging in lot of cases. You apparently did already a strong cleaning already - a printhead flushing which couldn't restore all...

how much are you printing - at a low level - now and then - or frequently/regularly ? what type of cartridges are you using - Epson OEM or ??

Can you check other driver settings - another paper type - another quality level

Since your 3rd party cartridges don't work you would need to buy a set of original Epson cartridges

Nozzle flushing is more important, but since you'll have the dampers anyway in your fingers when you take them out just remove some ink at this time.

did you already do a nozzle flushing ? There are plenty of similar videos showing this 50% or 60% is o.k, there should be just some air left as an elastic buffer

I must admit that I don't have a good view what the current status of your printer problem is and what you got done already in the past so it is quite difficult to advise further actions.

You need to try it out - but Epson typically does this with the 4 color printers - the ink in the black cartridge will be used - a black dye ink or pigment ink - matte or glossy - if you select normal/copy paper, inkjet or matte paper in the driver, and the black will be mixed from CMY if you...

Yes, why not, but keep an eye on photo printing - the (photo) pigment ink may cause an irritating look on some papers - give it a try both with the gloosy or matte paper setting.

Yes, I am - but this thread got already quite complex and voluminous which is the prime reason for me to come to an end. I checked several postings about a similar issue from 2 and 3 years ago and found that some links to Datacolor and other don't exist anymore and that some other documents got...

This thread is closed for me, but a few last comments The quoted Adobe BPC document above does not support this automatic mode Sect. 6.2 states 6. 2. Rendering intent Typically, BPC is performed for conversions using the Relative Colorimetric intent. BPC is not available for conver- sions...

Yes - you can, please see this recent posting https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/fade-resistant-bulk-ink-options-for-xp15000-what-combination.15376/page-3

The issue with Lightroom and 'BPC on' came up several years ago, there is a remark in this document further down https://www.colourphil.co.uk/lightroom-cc-print.shtml ' Black Point Compensation: In Lightroom it can't be selected, as it's always 'ON', which is highly desirable. It will map...

The matte black ink of the ET-7700 is the 105 ink - complementing the 106 dye inks.

I was reporting differences between profiles of different origin and in connection with BPC on or off very much from a user perspective - he typically has some photo editor with or w/o RAW functionality and with some embedded print module or a separate layout/print program from Epson or Canon or...

I didn't see any relevant differences between the 106 and 114 inks, you can screw off (with some force) the tops of the Epson bottles and swap them over and directly fill the 106 inks into the ET8550 - just keep the 114 bottles for the exchange.

Yes, this is adding to the complexity to define what the black point is - the bottom point of the gamut with the lowest L or at a neutral black with a b = 0 , and not at a cool black point or at a brownish black point, but this goes beyond @pharmacist 's original inquiry of this thread; it got...

The blackpoint as stored in a tag in the profile header is L= 19.67 0.36 -2.98, that's not very dark but pretty typical for matte papers, so any further increase by the black point compensation is counterproductive. The situation is different when you display the B/W diagram with with...
