Yeah. I just tried adding 10% to the Epson driver with it set to No Color Management and printed out a second set of test targets. I use Qimage Ultimate as the print software as I don't trust PS on managing the printers, and basICColor Catch allows me to load its test charts into it with...

I use both i1 PhotoPro 2 and basICColor for print profiles. The i1 Pro 2 spectrometer works with basICColor dropRGB 2 and their Catch 5 which is there paper profiler combo. Using either software, once I scan the test sheets you see the little targets with the Before and After colors in the...

Crowbotix, what I do to mine is flood the capping station with head cleaner and blot until it is almost white again. Then food it and let it sit with the head parked on it overnight. The fumes of the head cleaner seem to soften overnight and they begin squirting again. I got some of the...

Bought a 50 sheet pack of "Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy" at local office supply since they had half-off sale (Norm. was $52 and now $26.). Need it to profile a printer and test out the new basICColor RGBbox or whatever it's called for profiling with an i1 PhotoPro 2 spectrometer...

Having issues with the i1 Display Pro (spectrometer) and its i1 Profiler software. Screen isn't matching the prints (Print profiles made with i1 PhotoPro 2 head.). Some things aren't clear to me in the i1 Profiler Contrast Ratio settings with the options: Native. ICC Ratio 1:247, Black point...

I went to a printer's seminar. What I learned was no two printers print alike, even with the same ink and paper or model number, and why the need to make a profile for each one. More alarming was the instructor opened ColorThink 3 on Epson's generic profiles for their glossy and luster papers...

Got a PK and M clog with the nozzle checks. I did replace the carts prior and was wondering how one can tell if it is due to a possible air bubble or an outright clog? Nozzle check shows the broken segments in the same areas of each color. Ran a few "Print Unclog Pattern" prints via Qimage...

Thanks. I have the canvas selected as a "Semi-Gloss Paper" on the Epson setup menu and not a canvas as I want to use the PK and not a switch to the MK. Just started it that way initially. I think that 3880 front feed might have some sort of forced border thing happening depending on the size...

I'm trying to print a 11x14 on canvas. Front feed to avoid the damn pizza wheel marks made by the top or rear feed. Front feed is doing odd border issues. I cut a 17" roll of canvas to 12x17", fed that, and the sides were less than 11" due to borders when I set it up in the print...

Got this email from Inkjetmall on any Epson SureColor printer larger than the 13" P-600 having been made to prevent any 3rd party ink carts from being used in their newest printers 17" and up. "Epson claims that they have been designed not to work with other brands of cartridges. If you bought...

Wondering if Precision Colors, Cone, etc. have made any improvements to the pigment dullness in some of K3 Vivid Magenta refill inks? Tia. W. Fisher

I got a question on the air pump and the refillable carts. If the OEM ink cart uses the air pump to supply air to crush the bladder bag to get ink into the lines, wouldn't the air being used without the bladder (as in the refill carts) cause an issue if it operates like a garden sprayer? In...

One of my 3880's dribbled ink on the print so decided it was time for a towel in the track of the printhead soaked with 99% isopropyl alcohol (Not a fan of ammonia as it reacts and is corrosive with metals.) and a flush and cleaning of the capping station. Usually I can squirt 10cc of print...
