OK, I'll bite. I actually did this some time ago. Well, printing should have taken a day, but it actually took me a few weeks because my printer was malfunctioning. But my biggest print problem ever was printing 11" x 17" calendars for friends and family. And they had to be perfect from my...

Wow! Great reply! About #1: I suspect I wouldn't use it much either. If it's not worth doing at all, maybe it's not worth doing well. :)

OK, I think I owe you some better comments instead of just describing my Linux printing problems. Thank you so much for doing this. I am really looking forward to using this, and I love the simplicity and clarity of your interface. Unfortunately, I can't try the program right now, for various...

If you download the Hahnemühle paper catalog in French, you will find SI sizes and sizes in inches. If you download the US catalog, you will find sizes only in inches. If I bought a 17" or 44" printer, I would buy paper and software to match. As it turns out, I have a 13" printer, and neither...

??? What does the rendering intent have to do with generating the target? There is only one target, and it is printed without color management.

But the paper is in inches, so we need the option. 10.75" is no more clunky than 26.0 cm or whatever.

Thanks, but the margins were taken from Epson Print Layout on Windows, and that works, so I know the margins are right. I can also define larger margins and it still doesn't print. The error could be anywhere, and I have many things to do before I try to find the problem. It may even get...

Actually, I have the Epson driver. I can define a custom page size, 11"x17", but CUPS gives me an error message: "Custom Page Size is out of range." In fact, it isn't out of range for the printer. The setup seems to be confused between Landscape and Portrait, and that may be related to the...

Sorry, I'm backlogged and can't try it right now. But I think it's worth mentioning that the printing environment in Linux and Windows varies between passable and awful, in my opinion. The problem I have with Linux printing is an astonishing inability to print certain sizes on my Epson...

Sorry, I'm three days late with this. I first posted it three days ago on an insect forum.

I suggest you call Red River Paper. They have a variety of specialty papers, and they have ideas and papers for printing business cards, as well as guidance for your printer.

You can buy directly from Epson. The price should be the same anywhere, as far as I know.

I think it's a great idea to use a daylight filter. In the old days there were two kinds, depending on the color temperature of the bulb. I wonder if heat will be a problem, however, since these bulbs are not designed for use in an enclosed space.

Thank you, Pharmacist. I've got profile problems, so I've ordered one.

Can you get data from the scans, e.g. the measurements?

Well, I was hoping for a software solution. The i1Studio software does not do this. It allows adding some color patches to a print profiling job, but I can't get data from it. I suppose I can get it from Argyll if I can ever get that running with the instrument. Sorry to be lazy, but...

Thanks. I haven't tried that for a while, but recent frustration makes it look useful. I was trying to remember the software part of it, though, to get just a simple reading with the data displayed (D, L, spectrum, whatever). Sorry, I haven't done my homework on this part of it.

I will follow up. It will probably be a few days, though. Not longer, I hope.

With my ET-8550 and Premium Photo Matte or nearest competing paper, letting the printer manage color gets me consistently neutral blacks -- something that no profile can match. The printer does a great job on color without any profile, but it prints too dark and it doesn't do black point...
