Nozzle check - yes - you are right - it is printing, but the nozzle check does not give you an indication of the acctual density. There are 2 possibilities - the yellow is far to weak to print similar like the OEM cartridges - or there are incorrect settings in the advanced color adjustments. Do...

Please post the nozzle check, I'm assuming that yellow is missing completely since the grass remains blueish and does not turn green at all.

You would need to differentiate between papers with and w/o coating, the coating should cover up most of the paper related effects. And there is one more culprit - the optical brighteners act like other dye inks - they fade as well - even pretty fast , even faster than some inks . I have shown...

There is another varible you can look to - which color is drifting the most in these 9 months. it is in this case a saturated green which is drifting by a deltaE of 12.59, and such a drift by a saturated color is averaged away by the lighter colors which drift less - there are just less dye...

The table above lists averages - the average drift of 96 color spots per measurement in time, there is much information hidden in the details of every measurement, let me just take one example - the inktec ink on the Hayatec cc-paper after 9 months - in the bottom right corner showing a total...

I did another scan of the patch sheets now after 9 months - I'm measuring the fading of dye ink prints which are kept in the dark, just with a short exposure to the light for the measurements. I'm comparing prints of an OEM Epson 106 inkset with an InkTec inkset, with the patch sheets printed on...

Thanks for the tip, but the P400 is long gone, I'm currently using dye inks only on a ET-8550; I like glossy up to the A3 format, larger sizes typically generate too many reflections on glossy papers - of the of the room lamps - mirroring the room behind you etc , but this discussion just shows...

I was using a P400 longer time ago, with pigment inks to test the effects of gloss optimizers. I changed as well frompigment to dye inks but this didn't work out very well - I had 2 nozzles remaining with intermittend blockage even after several cleaning cycles - flushing etc. The one and only...

Since when do you have tlhis problem ? Did it happen suddenly - e.g. after a cartridge change ? Are you refilling ? What are the driver settings - paper selection, borderless printing, quality ? Please post a nozzle check print.

How about encapsulated dye inks 'We also employ molecular encapsulation in our dye formulations.' Copied from https://www.vermontphotoinkjet.com/our-dye-technology Conecolor is claiming to ship the only 3rd party encapsulated pigment inks but how abut this offer : LUNAJET inks are...

WicReset should give you a 5% bonus for free with the 'trial' key , so you can continue printing for a short while. here is an explosion view of the XP-412 which is probably very close to the XP-410. https://www.gedat-spareparts.com/ex/xp_412.pdf Page 4 of the document shows you the box with...

you are asking the wrong person - I'm not responsible for assumed omissions in publications and listings by other companies

about the ink on the paper - the printouts I think we can close your inquiry at this point.

As I mentioned before just look for the InkTec E0010 inks you can use for refill, the top of the ET-8500 bottles can be unscrewed with some force. This is the status at Ebay in Germany - there are plenty of suppliers...

I think you should go back to the situation as discussed in posting # 20 that the blacklevel raises for the ArgyllCMS profile when BPC gets switched on - the starting point of the discussion and the title of the thread. I remember from a previous discussion about 1 - 2 years ago that the effect...

I'm not clear yet why you would try to avoid printing with photo black. Pricing of the 106 or 114 inks is a matter of the local Epson marketing organisation, and yes - prices vary over time, the prices for the 106 ink oszillate in germany between 9 to 12€ per bottle. 3rd party offerings run...

Here is a display of the B/W response curve of Gamutvision, only the black point at L*=0 is of interest if there are any shifts of the output value as reported earlier, this is an overlay of 2 Gamutvision screen shots - with BPC of and on and rel col rendering, the diagrams look exactly the same...

You want to use a 3rd party on Epson ink in place of the 114 dye black ? I have seen several offers for 3rd party inksets for the ET-8500, any 3rd party Epson compatible dye black ink should do like the InkTec E0010, but please be aware that 3rd party inks typically exhibit a worse longevity...

I did a check of the profiles , I'm wondering about the result that both profiles are completely identical, they don't differ by a line width of the plots in the diagram. I'm displaying here the media black points of both profiles - they are identical to the last decimal digit of the...
