since the missing nozzles for cyan are so symmetric I guess there is some electronic malfunction of the printhead sending signals to those missing cyan nozzles.. check if the signal ribbon is firmly attached to the print head.
Why not change the text into bitmap and inverse the colour so the white background becomes black and the letters to be printed into white. Print this bitmap on a piece of paper so the whole area is black and the letters are just the white colour of the paper. Cut out this piece of black printed...
I find the strange banding very strange provided the paper is fed in portrait mode. It look like there are some stains on the timing strip causing this behaviour.
Not only of this reason but many other problems concerning color management: sometimes it works (hurray), but most of the time ridiculous non available options when trying to print without color management I digged my iMac Retina in order to buy a powerful Ryzen Windows machine and more than...

This is the possibility in the Windows driver for the Epson XP-15000 printer to print borderless with no expansion/retain size (in Dutch: behoud grootte):
I have the same printer: use pigment ink. The original cartridge are pigment ink too. I am using Inktec pigment ink these printers, but you can certainly use Epson ecotank 113 bottled pigment ink of your choice. Be sure all colours are pigment.
I had to read twice to understand what a single use printer was: I was thinking about a disposable printer that you throw away when the ink runs out.:lol:
You should have called it mono-functional or single-function.
With some care you can refill them until your printer will brake down. The only thing is NOT to let them be completely empty and reset the chip above 15%. I suggest to refill all the carts when one of the carts are approaching 20% level, before a large printing job. Yes you are right the Epson...
G53 ecotank bottles is the way to go for Chromalife 100+ faderesistance. Other Canon ecotank dye inks are much worse and some of them are hardly better than "good" quality aftermarket inks.
Qimage has a particular mode called auto: that chooses between perceptual or relative colorimetric with the extra option to enable BPC.....I am not sure how the software chooses between those two rendering intents based on what algorithm.
I think Lothman on this forum uses Pigmera GX. I made profiles for him some time ago and I was really impressed by the blackness of their photo and matte black. The prints are very good and have a nice gloss and gamut is very good.
In the past before Brexit I ordered from the UK via ebay: now after the Brexit I can understand, but Europrint has its head quarters in Poland and and shipping to Germany or Belgium should not make any difference for Amazon or Ebay in terms of shipping, because I could order from the UK as well...
Maybe you can contact them and ask how somebody from Belgium can order from them, a "famous" person from a very well known printer and ink website who is not able to purchase from Europrint, because they do not want to ship to Belgium....Maybe you can convince them to ship to me.
