    Epson L1800

    Yes, I realize that information overload is a real danger, but I always seem to find a nugget or two in whatever is headed to the garbage. (I'll admit to a tendency to be a pack rat... I also strive to hold at least three conflicting theories.) I believe that if it looks good it is good. But...

    Epson Dx6000 Clogged Black

    Silly question: The vent plug of the cartridge has been removed while it is in the printer.

    Profiling excursion

    Which may be why I like the matte paper best with this printer: The deeper and richer blacks. I am, although, impressed with how they are represented on glossy paper.

    Is Cartridge Refilling Dying?

    Given the cost of OEM inks, and the work involved in refilling (not much, imho) I recently made the move to start doing it. Now since whatever I choose to do becomes unpopular, expect refilling to die...

    Profiling excursion

    I rented a Colormunki pro to see if it could help with my setup. Which is: - Epson WF-3620 - Precision Colors DuraBrite inks - Red River papers Overall: Yes, it worked well (for my eyes). Even with OEM inks it seemed to print a bit on the cyan side. With Red River profiles and PC inks it...

    Paper adds color cast?

    I print various things more than once a week. This last check was after printing a bunch of brochures in a session. As far as which Red River paper, I've not settled on a final set yet. I've been going through their sample kit and will be making a few final choices in the next week or two...

    Can ICC profile that has been created by Xrite i1 publish pro 2 be edited?

    So, is a colormunki profile worth the ink and paper it requires? ( Yes, I do realize that the answer may be in the form of "That depends...")

    Paper adds color cast?

    Time, as they say, heals all wounds and perhaps "clogged" nozzles. Having been printing a bit recently I ran a new nozzle check not expecting a change and Lo! The clogged nozzle has cleared itself. It was probably, as @mikling said, a tenacious air bubble that has been rattled free.

    printer profiling kit

    Don't know about the U.K., but here we have companies such as Borrow Lenses. Perhaps they have a European branch.

    Color profiling beginner questions (colormunky etc)

    @The Hat , thanks, but my main issue is the lack of mac support as I ditched windows a decade ago after several decades of fighting it and Linux variants.

    Colymp looks like it might be worth checking out, but I don't read German, and it looks like windows only at this point...

    Color profiling beginner questions (colormunky etc)

    Renting from places like borrow lenses is about $50 for week. Profiling services are about $50 per profile.

    Color profiling beginner questions (colormunky etc)

    I've been asking the same questions. What I've found is software that will do what you want, but it's expensive. Scan a reference to calibrate your scanner, prin a target and scan that to generate a profile. You could also go with a profile creation company and print their target and have them...

    Can DURABrite printers be used for photo printing?

    I'm playing with a 3260 and do like the results on matte paper. Glossy paper, even with the Red River profiles for Durabrite, can be "odd." Strange thing is that with RR metallic paper is looks pretty good - even the ones that were odd on glossy. Do note that I'm using Precision Colors inks.
