Hello again all you printer afficionades!
Four years ago I got back to my wet darkroom. Of my printers I kept only a Epson R285 for office printing (and a 3880 for photo printing,- which I still use if I'm tired of working in the dark with enlarger and chemicals)
Now I want to buy a...

When the colormunki software prints the first test chart, ONE single patch in the last row comes out pink instead of blue!
In the middle of the last row you can see blue-yellow-blue on the monitor. If I set the printer on some standard paper, the patches will come out more or less saturated...

After grabbing two old classic printers on ebay I wonder what sponges are good for.
First is a R800, seems to be in really good condition, especially the printhead, after some maintenance. As I had other r800 (and gave them away), I knew that the purge pad mostly is totally smeared up with ink...

There is a successor for the R2880 with
- bigger (and probably fixed) cartridges / 26ml
- auto switching between matte and photo black (both cartridges on bord)
- front paper feed for thick paper
seems to be a small pro 3880 (but the 3880 is not so much bigger..)...

I had two sorts of refillable cartridges in my epson printers (R800 R285)

The other ones had not...
