You are way beyond anything I have done on profiling, but it might be worth pointing out that with the i1Studio, one can generate at least one additional sheet of patches with custom colors. I don't have enough experience with it to know if it is useful, but I like the idea in principle...

I think I owe everyone a follow-up. I contacted a Red River technical support person, and she was very helpful. A single shadow adjustment in Gimp ameliorates the problem, and as a bonus, it's a local contrast adjustment that I didn't know about. I'm now using the Velvet Fine Art paper...

It may have sent you directly to PayPal. I sometimes see that behavior, and it's probably normal. It depends on a setting somewhere -- probably in your PayPal account settings. Just check your browser window to ensure that you have a verified, encrypted connection to PayPal.

1. Check that you told it what try to use before you pressed the "print" button. Double check. 2. Check the print queue. There could be a job still there. It will remain there until you either clear it or print it. I don't know what effect uninstalling the printer would have. Possibly no...

Yes, you're right, of course. There's just too, too much to write at the moment. I'm not an expert at digital photo printing. The software is absolutely overwhelming. I gave up on making nice digital prints myself a few years ago, and I made my last silver-gelatin print in 1985. PC. If only...

Or, for a crude method that can be used anywhere, I would just wet the print. If ink bleeds, it's dye. Then soak it in water to check before and after appearance.

This is an almost desperate situation for me. I sort of gave up printing years ago because the blacks were blocked up. And now I have a new Epson ET-8550 with lot of Red River Premium Matte 11x17" double-sided for calendars (with lots and lots of pictures). Using my profile or the Red River...

Thanks. I'm quoting that in bold for reference.

Good information. Thanks very much. I can't imagine ever writing my own printer driver, though. I'm sort of a programmer, but that sounds like a fool's errand for me, unless they make it REAL simple and give VERY good directions. Weird that these printers are dirt-cheap but still good.

Thanks, x64. Upon thinking about it, little Brother laser makes a lot of sense. They make a bunch of them. The HL-L2460DW doesn't look bad, and it's dirt-cheap. There are 4 or 5 others that would probably work well for a bit more money. That's really good news about Linux too. I do know...

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, does it? I don't know what paper size could have anything to do with how many will stack in a feeder. I would have thought thickness could be a factor.

Epson claims that they provide Linux drivers for their printers. Search for Linux on their printer home page. They do not support those drivers, but if the drivers work, support shouldn't be necessary. I have seen some opinions that they work well. I have also seen claims that the driver was...

I see me PRO-100 only accepts 1 sheet at a time. 5 sheets seems like a no-brainer. OK, plan A it is. Thanks for the comments. This is why I asked. :)

Urk. Thanks, guys. It doesn't sound great.

Too many questions, I guess. Choosing printers is daunting. I think I have spent some days reading printer specs. and specifications. This shouldn't be so hard. For what it's worth, here are some kind of general answers I have found for myself. *Most of the Epson printers supposedly support...

I just ordered an ET-8550. I want to print about 10 to 20 calendars on it. I need to find out about paper handling, so I can begin to plan formats and order the paper. I haven't decided yet between 11"x17" or 13"x19" (A3+) paper, or between single-sided or double-sided paper, so I want to...

My last HP C309a all-in-one Photosmart is getting very creaky, so it's time for a new printer. I need a color printer for moderate duty, for office printing, scanning, copying, and photo printing. It has to be reliable and refillable. Only rare paper jams, and no sudden clogs that can't be...

How does air get into the dampers? Here is one possibility. Air is more soluble in cold water than in warm water. If you store your ink in the refrigerator, the air will come out (very slowly!) when it warms up. Just a thought, in case that helps.

Thanks. I thought I remembered checking, but I'm embarrassed that I didn't see it.

In the Nifty-Stuff.com forum, Nifty told us about how to build a fire by stacking the wood upside down. I've been using it ever since, with great results. I have shown it to one or two people, and one of them recently confirmed great success. So, thanks to Nifty for that article and many...
