- EPSON L8180
Hello.
I have bought a brand new EPSON L8180 which has issues like uneven white borders and wrong margins. To be exact this is my second brand new as i have returned the previous one thinking it was faulty or i don't know if it ever was thanks to these issues.
I thought that the first time, it might have been faulty with this issue but the second time i got it, it has the same issues.
This problem started and still continue from day one. I did the head alignment and whatever it asked on the first time.
I have tried printing for example a resume which is full page on A4 and sadly the white borders were uneven. I somehow fixed it by changing an offset on advance settings but i don't know if it's the solution. I also have tried printing some photos on 13x18 and 4x6 and the same issues appeared.
The programs i used and nothing worked so far are: Browsers like firefox or edge, Affinity and finally EPSON Print Layout.
The papers i use are: Navigator 100gsm and some different brands photo papers like EPSON and mediarange.
The inks are the genuine EPSON ones.
I tried to do what other people said about the settings like setting it on center and so on but nothing worked so far. I also tried what i found on google or what AI said and so far no solution.
Also, i don't want to print borderless as i ready that after many prints, the printer will stop working and lock down because of the pads.
Did anyone have similar issues and if so, did they find a solution that or what did they do to fix it?
Please i really need help and would greatly appreciate it. For days i am trying to fix it but cannot.
Is it this EPSON L8180's limit hardware or is it faulty once again?
I have around 14 days to return if i have a problem..
Please anyone...
Thank you.
