    Please help interpret this IP6700 eeprom print test

    There is always Kijiji. Link below. Usually very slim pickings and the bottom feeders of the online buy/sell community seem to be the main participants. With six million or so people in the Greater Toronto Area, it is probably your best bet. From time to time you will see bargains - six months...

    Resserecting 3880 after TOTAL neglect - oops!

    Just a brief comment for those more familiar with North American English - The UK term "nappy" translates as diaper in our neck of the woods. rs

    Resserecting 3880 after TOTAL neglect - oops!

    Well, as men of a "certain age", that all sounds pretty good. A daughter getting married and then having a baby sounds pretty normal to me too - Congratulations Grandpa!. Although modern society seems to prefer reversing the marriage, child process. Your new son-in-law suffering from Crohn's...

    Hi 3dogs, Glad to see you back on the forums and trust all is well with you. Couple of Youtube videos links below probably what you need. The first is very good and from our own JToolman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKzxAm9QtWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocoX1WJbJPM...

    Canon MP780 - Ink cartridge killed printer?

    You may have a "faint hope" option by taking the matter up with eBay stating the print head was defective on arrival. If you paid with Paypal you have some sort of protection. Not sure how effectively it works, if at all. I have seen a lot of complaints about these reconditioned heads sold as...

    Looking for advice for high-quality inkjet label sheets

    Your detailed reply gives us all a better idea of your problem. From what I am reading this is your problem #1. The only way I can suggest to evaluate the effect of the die-cut "white-edge" is to print a representative black square on your chosen sample stock and then HAND CUT WITH A SHARP...

    Looking for advice for high-quality inkjet label sheets

    Hi Mars, Always dangerous for onlookers to offer opinions without possession of all the facts. I don't think I can be of much help, but for better of worse here is my observation. 1: The white border appears more prominent than I would expect, given that you claim the substrate is 6 mil...

    Looking for advice for high-quality inkjet label sheets

    Where in the world are you located? Based on the quantities you mention it is extremely unlikely you were dealing with a paper mill. More likely a retail reseller, paper merchant, or possibly even a paper broker. Can you get the specifications of the self-adhesive material that was successful...

    How to print on the back of photo paper

    My experience is that the back of the sheet varies by paper manufacturer and paper grade. I print several hundred greeting, thank-you and notepad style cards per year and have very little trouble printing on the back. - Full disclosure - For the most part my back printing comprises few lines...

    I know it is really off topic, but thank Emu for this example and crave The Hat's indulgence to make this point: Don't you just love it when a website devoted to the use of the English language uses an actual ad hominem attack to effectively define ad hominem. I would like to think it is an...

    Epson 3800 for gloss only? 3880 same cartridges as 3800?

    I do not have personal knowledge of using 3800 ARC chips in the 3880, but when using OEM carts with OEM chips it seems you have to make a simple modification to the 3800 cart to fit into the 3880. My knowledge is based on a recent Youtube video by that paragon of 3800/3880 knowledge Jose...

    Sometimes things Just Look Right...

    Apology not necessary. I was just a little surprised by your comment on what I thought was a valid opinion. Maybe I was being a little thin skinned for the internet. I have to remind myself daily that on the internet in general: sarcasm does not work. Humour does not work. Subtlety does not...

    Sometimes things Just Look Right...

    Did I touch a nerve or something? It is interesting that you find it necessary to make pejorative comments about my opinion on file sizes for printing. It is after all only an opinion, and I was under the impression this is a forum for opinions - no? I am guessing that for some obscure reason...

    For big print you will need a larger file. For an 18" print you will need 3,000 plus pixels on the long edge. If RogerB has a file that size he may oblige you with a copy - else a smaller print is likely. rs

    An excellent image. Worthy of printing big and framing. Or my favourite - as 12 x 18 canvas gallery wrap it would look magnificent. Time for RogerB to fire up his big printers. rs

    Who "owns" a used OEM inkjet cart?

    This highlights some of the ridiculous concepts in our modern society. If you are a high-tech company that wishes to expand a product range. It is more important to hire lawyers rather than engineers. This applies from Apple to Xerox. As the immortal Bard said: ''The first thing we do, let's...

    Media Types for Hahnemühle Papers for Epson 3880

    Not exactly sure what you are looking for Harry. I use a couple of the Harman by Hahnemuhle Baryta papers because of their excellent quality and in North America B&H frequently discounts them to half the price of the closest Red River product. Is the attached PDF of any help? When Googling...
