Face mounting on acrylic gives very elegant results at low cost. If you don't have access to a laminator or mounting adhesive you can simply use two sheets of acrylic/perspex with the photo "sandwiched" between them. You can get acrylic sheets cut to size and with holes drilled, along with the...

I was wondering if anybody had the chance to try the inkset made by Inktec for the K3 printers (they market it as the "PowerChrome K3"). It's only a little more expensive than OCP (so it's among the cheapest inks out there), and I also came across this document in which they claim the ink is...

Any chance you could include a traditional print from a minilab (RA4 process) along those you already have? I tried it in the past against pigment inks, but it would be really interesting to see how it compares to dyes.

You may want to include a little spacer so the print faces don't touch the glass directly. If the room they are in is heated and people spend time in it, there will be water building up on the glass from condensation , mainly around the edges of the window. That could cause some uneven fading on...

Does anybody have the service manual for the Epson Pro 4900?

-Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm is my favorite, by far, for photos that are going to be displayed. -Hahnemuhle Museum Etching for the matte prints. -Epson Premium Luster for weddings/portraits. And this one for everything else, from 10x15cm to posters to digital albums. Extremely cheap...

Try resetting it through maintenance mode. Unplug the printer, then plug it again and turn it on while holding the "MENU" button pressed, this should enter you into maintenance mode. Then press 01 (the reset code), followed by "START" and 99 to exit...

I have a Brother MFC-J6510DW, which is a multifunction machine with A3 scanner. There are no chips on the catridges, ink levels are monitored with a light beam, so all you have to do is use a piece of black tape to block the light beam and fool the printer into thinking the cartridges are full...

I'm looking for a good quality colour laser printer to use along my inkjet printers for less demanding projects (calendars, pos etc). Can anybody recommend an A3 model, with acceptable photo/graphics output, preferably with support for thick paper stock and, most importantly, easily refillable?

I haven't tried the Epson paper, so can't tell for sure. The SureLab is dye based, so there is a small possibility the paper is not pigment compatible (which I really doubt). The Fuji/Noritsu papers work great with pigments. HP also makes a minilab that uses pigment inks, so if you can get hold...

Try printing a sample image with both printers, using Adobe Print Utility, and ignore the colours being off. If the prints match then you'll know the problem is in the software: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/834/cpsid_83497/attachments/ACPU.zip

Unless you are printing lots and lots of photos or require the roll handling option of the 4900, go for the 3885, it's much more suited for the type of work you describe, plus you'll get much better sheet paper handling over the 4900. The ink is the same formulation for both models (with the...

Are you using third party ink or OEM? It it's third party and you installed the refillable cartridges while the printer was running on OEM it could be that you didn't give it enough prints or cleaning cycles for the original ink to be replaced in the tubes/printhead.

You could do that in principle, the success would depend on the physical characteristics of the ink you are using. Unless it's too viscous to flow properly or contains large particles that could clog the printhead, and of course of very high/low pH (risk of corrosion), it should work. Epson...

I've recently seen another manufacturer claiming the same longevity as OEM claria if you are interested: http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.362672/sc.29/category.87729/.f Had it been available last year I would have included that in the test as well... (There's also the Lyson Fotonic inkset...

This is where fooling your printer into doing something it's not supposed to comes into play:) You can feed the printer sheet paper but select roll paper in the driver and deselect the cutting option. You only have to grab and stop the rollers on the top of the printer while the printer thinks...

I don't know about the Canons, I only have Epson printers right now, but I can do that with the 24" 7900. The manual suggests defining a larger paper size in the driver than you actually load in the printer. It's on page 124 in the manual below...

The paper is awesome. I bought the same cutter from my local lidl though, and the plastic casing of the trimmer cracked and the thing rendered useless after 15-20 cuts. As for the "guillotine", it works, as long as you cut one sheet at a time :)

The thing is you can do custom length borderless with less sophisticated models. I have an R2000 which allows that, so it's really strange the bigger and supposedly more pro-oriented 3880 can't. What's more, the top of the line models can be fooled by printing on page sizes smaller than the page...

After using the 3880 for a few days, I realised that, to my disappointment, while the printer is capable of performing borderless prints on select paper sizes, it looks to not be able to print borderless for a custom length of paper. To my understanding, the limitation to borderless printing is...
