    Looking for software to print on CD with color management

    I'm using an Epson L800 for printing on CD/DVDs, and I can't find any program that supports printing with color management enabled. I'm using pigment ink with the specific model and the colors are completely off when using the bundled software (Epson Print CD). Does anybody know of a different...

    How bad is using pigment ink in Canon dye printers?

    I recently got an offer for some Canon printers at a very low price, and I am considering getting them to use with refillable cartridges or CISS. The thing is, I only currently have pigment ink in stock, and would also prefer to only use pigment inks (for fade and water resistance...

    Can ink designed for Ultrachrome printers be used in Durabrite models?

    I was wondering whether ink designed for the photo printers (Ultrachrome with Vivid Magenta), is possible to be used in a printer using Durabrite pigment inks. With the Vivid Magenta used in the place of the Durabrite magenta, and of course having custom profiles made. Has anyone tried this...

    Program for auto arranging small photos on large sheets

    I've been looking for some software that would allow me to print multiple photos on a single large sheet of paper, without having to manually arrange all of them for saving paper. I need the program to be able to arrange multiple photos of multiple sizes onto a custom sized paper and then...

    Is there any way to refill OEM Epson large format cartridges?

    Just curious, is this easy, or even possible at all, to do? The chips on the x890/x900 can be reset with most, easy to find, chip resetters. The cartridge is a pressurized "bladder" type. Does anybody know of any practical way to bypass the one-way valve and inject ink back, directly into the...

    I have a few litres of OCP K3 ink (epson R3000, R2880 etc), bought from Octopus Office and directly from OCP Germany recently, which I want to sell. Most are still sealed in their original containers. I am willing to give them at 70% their initial cost plus shipping (15 to 35Eur for insured air...

    Which are good 3rd party pigment inks for Canon LFPs?

    I was looking into getting a large format printer from Canon, either an 8 or a 12-color Lucia ink model, and was wondering which would be a good 3rd party ink provider for that. The options are clearly not as many as with Epsons. Image Specialists produce ink for those models, but from my...

    Epson 4900 extreme clogging, and a solution

    I've been using an Epson 4900 with refillable carts for a few months now, and had no significant clogging issues, apart from the occasional missing nozzle that cleared instantly after running a simple clean cycle. A few days ago though, in the middle of a long print run, one of the colours (the...

    R3000 chip resetting question

    I'm looking to get an R3000 and a good CISS or refillable cartridge set to go with it, and I was hoping one of the R3000 users here could help clarify something: Does the R3000 go through a mini priming cycle every time a cartridge's ink level is reset (like the R2000 and other models with...

    Inktec vs OCP vs Epson vs NanoDigital pigment inks

    I recently came across a pdf document, from the Korean ink manufacturing company, Inktec, regarding their K3 pigment equivalent inkset, claiming they are resin coated, with minimal bronzing, scratch resistance and other qualities previously achieved only by OEM inks. I have to admit I had been...

    What's causing this?

    Just this morning my R2000 started printing some weird lines on all the prints, not the thin lines associated to clogged nozzles, but wide (~1cm) lines running vertically to the paper path, and always on the same place on the prints (have a look at the following picture). The problem appears...

    Anybody using Inktec Pigment inks in an Epson?

    I was wondering if anybody had the chance to try the inkset made by Inktec for the K3 printers (they market it as the "PowerChrome K3"). It's only a little more expensive than OCP (so it's among the cheapest inks out there), and I also came across this document in which they claim the ink is...

    Suggestions For A "photo Quality" A3 Laser Printer

    I'm looking for a good quality colour laser printer to use along my inkjet printers for less demanding projects (calendars, pos etc). Can anybody recommend an A3 model, with acceptable photo/graphics output, preferably with support for thick paper stock and, most importantly, easily refillable?

    3880 Custom Length Borderless Prints

    After using the 3880 for a few days, I realised that, to my disappointment, while the printer is capable of performing borderless prints on select paper sizes, it looks to not be able to print borderless for a custom length of paper. To my understanding, the limitation to borderless printing is...

    Do Top-fill, "always-full" Cartridges For The 3880 Exist?

    This has probably already been discussed somewhere, but I can't find anything, so I'm asking here: are there any refillable cartridges for the Epson 3880 that can be filled from the top (so that they don't have to be taken out of the printer every time) and they are also of the "always full"...

    Can I Use Refillable Cartridges To Prime An Epson 3880?

    Just bought a new 3880 and a set of refillable cartridges, and since I haven't installed the OEM cartridges or turned the printer on yet, I was wondering if I could go ahead and install the refillables and have the printer go through its priming cycle with those instead of the OEM carts. Has...

    R3000 Roll Paper Printing Question

    I have a question regarding the R3000 and the roll paper option, I'm hoping someone of you with an R3000 can answer it: Is it possible to print images continuously on the roll without cutting each one after it's printed? i.e. send multiple pages to the printer in one go (through Photoshop, one...

    Auto Reset Chips For R2000?

    I've been using an R2000 with a CISS from cityink for some time now, with excellent results. However, there is a problem with the chips. While they are advertised as Auto-reset, what usually happens is that one of two colours always reaches empty and I have to manually reset the chips, forcing...

    Is There A Way To Change The Language On Brother Printers?

    I recently bought a Brother MFC-J6510DW multifunction inkjet from ebay and when I received it the printer's display language was German. While that isn't a problem when controlling it from a PC (I installed the english driver and it works fine), there doesn't seem to be the option of changing...
