I searched and never saw this mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots?useskin=vector I'd be lying if I said this didn't bother me on some level. I'm thinking of pulling out a loupe and UV light or other color filters to see if I can find them on my own printer. This...

Is this something I can fix/check or do I need a new toner cartridge?

hopefully it stops nagging

My printer is nagging me to update the firmware, but I cannot find any release notes. The printer is working fine now, but 1. the messages are annoying, 2. if there *is* an improvement, i.e. usability, compatibility, bugs, that would be nice. Anyone have experience with the latest firmware...

I use my own pee

I have 2 laser printers; One, a Brother HL-2270DW prints faded smudginess over the whole page rather than crisp clear text on perfect white. The other, a Samsung CLP-315W color, prints a line flat across the page that fades away by the 3rd or 4th print. It has chipped cartridges that were...

I waited 24 hours, ran a nozzle head check then cleaning/maintenance and it came out clean

It sat for a couple months. Could I alternatively just make a few prints to clear up the nozzles? A paper clip to close the tubes? Sounds like a hack; might you have a picture? Thank you

Ran three deep cleans: printer now wants me to wait 12 hours and then see. First yellow was spotty, then yellow/magenta failed completely, on the final pass magenta failed completely but all others were good.

Running now; colors failing intermittently then completely. Looks like it wants several iterations, hopefully this solves it.

Went on vacation, came back to print vacation photos and the images are printing with a pink hue. First print I thought I didn't load the right ICC profile, second print I double checked and: same thing. Tips/suggestions? Maintenance? Thanks in advance

They did NOT call it "secret sauce"? No way.

Jose Rodriguez now did some testing on some Canson Aquarelle paper and found significantly better black/shadow results. Not sure what that paper is: Again it speaks to the problem with the printers/manufacturers defining how an ICC profile is implemented.

I mean this speaks to the printer controlling the ink delivery drivers, and ICC profiles needing to work around that. When using other papers and other printer profiles, you need to select the paper type which mirrors the name of epson's OEM papers, i.e. Epson VFA or Epson Ultra Premium Glossy...

Jose Rodriguez points this out in this video: Where he's quoting something Northlight Images must have published, but I haven't been able to find (and Jose didn't link in his description). It seems the "Velvia Fine Art" Paper settings will have the ET-8550 print with both pigment and dye...

This one has been fantastic. If I could resolve this toner leak, I could sell it (replaced now with an ET-8550 for color prints, and the Brother Laser for documents)

I was printing documents

Yeah I have that manual; it makes no mention of anything duplex except ethernet and one mention of the rear cover duplexer thing. Am I missing something?

I can't follow that link

The plot thickens. Over an hour with epson support, here are the key settings that made it work: Orientation: Portrait 2-sided Printing: On Binding edge: 2-sided short edge Two-Sided Printing: Short-Edge binding Duplex Tumble: None *notes: 1. borderless printing is not available when printing...
