    Epson SC-P900 compatible cartridge chips: resettable or not ?

    It is interesting to see that my 3rd party chips for my T2100 cartridges look physically exactly the same as yours for the P900.

    Do Canon Mega Tank Printers have code to reset ink pad?

    A general statement for all Canon printers is just not possible, it depends on the product model. Your printer might be listed in the WicReset software, and you need to replace the waste ink pads yourself. Other printers have a maintenance box - with a chip. Resetters might be available from...

    DIY Eco Tank bottles?

    I have not seen any bottle for the Ecotank printers - 102, 106, 114, 664 and more - on which you could not unscrew the top of the bottle - it's pretty tight and you might have to use a tool. Give it another try.

    New Canon Pro-1100 announced

    Looking around for the specs of the Pro 1000 and Pro 1100 I recognize that Canon is publishing a droplet size of 4 pl in the Druckkopf - Printhead section for the Pro 1000 https://www.canon.de/printers/inkjet/pro-photo-printers/imageprograf-pro-1000/specifications/ This is a very rare instance...

    New Canon Pro-1100 announced

    I'm not really getting it - Canon is claiming a significant improvement of the longevity, a better matte black and better scratch resistance - this inkset just could run on the existing Pro-1000 model - with a firmware and driver update, I don't see the need for new and heavier hardware - with...

    I'm reading that Canon has announced the successor of the Pro-1000 - the Pro-1100 with a new inkset Lucia Pro 2 with a 3x better longevity than the previous inks. https://www.druckerchannel.de/artikel.php?ID=5085&t=canon_imageprograf_pro_1100 You may use a translate function in your browser or...

    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    Your tests confirm may findings I made quite some time ago - before Corona - with the P400 printer. I tested a range of inks and papers, there is wide variability in the gloss and bronzing behaviour between all those. This was the time I tested as well a separate GO gloss optimizer overprint, I...

    Can you install new ink cartridge in Stylus Pro 7880 without updating printer firmware?

    I would consider your case as a warranty case with the dealer, you got a cartridge from him which is not working, and if you are already a longer time customer of that company they should have an interest to fix your problem. They should give you a replacement cartridge in exchange of the defect...

    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    Thanks for the data, this is how my T2100 profile with the Netbit paper compares to your Epson Ultrachome and the InkTec Powerchrome inks The smallest gamut body belongs to my ink collection with the T2100 on Netbit paper, It's actually not too bad for an arbitrary ink mix on a printer with...

    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    O.k. - fine - just send me your profile with the Inktec inks on Netbit paper, I'll like to compare to. Which mode do you use to calculate the profile ?

    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    That's a very comprehensive and interesting test indeed showing how good a 3rd party ink can be. It's as always a question for the user whether and how much he is ready to pay more for some gain in the gamut in a particular color range. The dark blue- violet range was always the range of...

    80gsm printer paper curling in the corners

    You may need an instrument to measure the humidity, they are typically available via mail order as a combo device showing temperature and humidity. A humidifer would do the job - in principle - but you don't know how long you have to wait. Depending on your residence location you may better keep...

    Epson SC-P900 compatible cartridge chips: resettable or not ?

    I have the same situation with refill cartridges and the chips for these cartridges for my new T2100 - T40D carts, I only can buy one-time chips to stick them onto refill cartridges, a resetter is not available to reset OEM cartridges, it is the same situation with the P900 as you describe it...

    Can you install new ink cartridge in Stylus Pro 7880 without updating printer firmware?

    Is this a genuine Epson cartridge ? If so Epson support should be able to help you. How old is it - you should claim warranty with the dealer. If that's a 3rd party cartridge you might claim warranty with the dealer as well but he might give you some excuses if he denies warranty.

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    Both the Canon TC-20 and the Epson T2100 offer the selection of various papertypes - some well known to regular visitors or members in this forum like matte or glossy papers - but since these printers are targetted to architects and graphic ads designers there are more paper types listed in the...

    AdobeRGB option in Printer Profile (Canon Driver)

    Printing the color gride is part of the profiling process - you print a color grid with 100 - 3000 color spots, you scan all the color patches , and the profiling software created the actual printer profile, you can do that with a free ArgyllCMS softwre or with commercial packages like ccStudio...
