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...

ConeColor is publishing some comments about various issues with pigment inks, longevity, congruence with Epson inks and more. The article is as well addressing as well the complexity of fading tests , advertising claims and more. ConeColor/Inkjetmall is delivering to European countries , they...

The B/W plot of Gamutvision in rel. col. mode should show if the colorprof -nI option has an impact on the blacklevel value although it wouldn't clear any conflict with Lightroom - I don't use it either. So just go ahead and post a profile with this option and we can check if we see any impact

I would not make much of a difference between the 106 and the 114 dye inks, pricing between the inks may vary - over time - and by country . I see several offers of alternative pigment inks for the ET-8550 and similar . Be aware that performance like lightfastness or gloss/bronzing etc is not...

You can ask the potential seller(s) of the mentioned device offers to run the i1 diagnostics which works as well on the ColorMunki and should tell you the overall usage time of the device. You may choose to buy the unit with the lowest usage time ...

'mininal differences' - below visibility ? How would you differentiate between measuring tolerances and actual hue and saturation differences of your print ? You would have to print several copies of the target sheets and measure them several times and average all readings - there is a reason...

So what I strongly doubt that these profiles are from real profiling... There is no need for real profiling since it's the same base paper - just with a different surface structure.

How did this nozzle problem develop - was it there suddenly - or did the problem grow with more and more nozzles missing ? Are you doing refill or using original inks/cartridges ?

These L1300 or L1800 were A3 printers - with 4 or 6 inks but they are phased out already. The ET 18100 is the 6 ink A3+ follow up model currently in the pricelist, but depending of your country of residence model numbers may vary.

The paper type selection does a kind of pre-profiling the paper - it provides some information to the driver - which are mainly the ink limit for the coating - actually different ink limits - one as a total of all inks mixed and another parameter for each ink color. And the paper selection does...

Luster type papers should use the same icc-profile/driver settings as the corresponding glossy paper, Luster is just an additional and optional production step by which the paper passes through kalander rolls which press the luster surface structure into the glossy surface, this does not change...

White inks are solvent based, and you need a printer for such inks which are typically large format printers. And you need special software - RIP - which can handle a different color in the black ink channel. So there is no somewhat easy solution to print white on dark envelopes with a desktop...

You are most likely using some other type of paper for a nozzle check. How much do you/did you print with this model - the nozzle check should tell you. It could be that the printer needs some internal cleaning - the timing strip - the lip which wipes off the nozzle plate which is part of the...
