That's strange, but at least you know for sure that profile mismatch is causing the color shifts now. I use Windows and can't find anything here, but there could be some "default" settings somewhere overriding those you enter. Try re-installing the driver, maybe that helps. You can also try...

Have you disabled colour management in the printer driver? You have to choose custom/no color adjustment, like in the screenshot below: If you want to print from within Word or other non-colour aware applications, you can first select "ICM" in the printer driver, and then, in the advanced...

That's almost certainly a colour management issue. I'm guessing you are printing using the profiles that came with the printer and were meant to be used with Epson inks. Give us some more details on which program and what settings you use for printing photos, and a screenshot of the print...

I'd say go for the OCP, they are probably the best quality and lowest priced inks available anywhere. Can't speak for their inks for the Canon printers, but I've tried and been using those for Epson and they are the best in terms of gamut and fade resistance among IS (those mentioned in the post...

Polaroid used to make a "Dust & Scratch removal filter" for Photoshop, it worked really well, better than anything else I've tried. You can still get it from some sites. Only problem is (I don't know if it's just my computer though), it doesn't run very well on newer Photoshop versions, but...

Buy yourself some refillables and use third party ink. Otherwise, if you must use OEM ink, I believe you'd get the best yield with a 3880 or R3000 from Epson (and even better if you use a larger format printer, 7900 etc, but these are way more expensive). If printing 500x2 pages, you'll need...

Even if you got some light to go through, you still wouldn't see any image, just a gray image textured like the inside of the paper. Prints rely on reflected light to be seen (all of their volume is opaque, and features on the surface scatter light in different ways to form a picture)...

You don't have to trick it, once you remove the white mat it automatically goes to transparency mode (there's a hole with a sensor on the back that gets uncovered once you remove the mat, that's how it "knows"). BUT, once you get into that mode, you are also putting in use the light source on...

I wonder if a CISS can be used with those printers...:cool:

I have a V500 right now, which doesn't support dust removal for photos, so I can't give you a sample, but I have tried it with a V700 in the past. It only works relatively good for very glossy papers. Most old photos were usually printed on pearl or other textured types of papers, those don't...

I don't think he really cares, as long as others can't compete with him price-wise (the cost per page is negligible for a digital press). And to be honest, the average end customer won't notice the difference unless he compares them side by side. The only way to compete is by using third party...

It hasn't... I print and bind wedding albums and I'm using pigment inkjets with excellent results, even from the 6-color printers. Another guy around here prints the pages for his albums using a $100000+ HP indigo press, which is considered the best by many, and while the prints look "OK" on...

They were probably referring to a different kind of laser/LED printers, those that are used by minilabs and the very expensive wide format RA4 printers (like some from OCE and Chromira) and which use a laser to expose traditional photographic paper and then develop it with chemicals. As for the...

I recently bought a Brother MFC-J6510DW multifunction inkjet from ebay and when I received it the printer's display language was German. While that isn't a problem when controlling it from a PC (I installed the english driver and it works fine), there doesn't seem to be the option of changing...

I did something similar with a 1400 but used diluted photo black instead of the LK and LLK of the K3 inkset, and it worked really well. Try printing a few nozzle checks one on top of the other till you get some solid blocks of pure colour, for both the CMYK inks and for the K,LK and LLK from...

What's your opinion on these two, are they reliable? I haven't used refillables with printers such as the 3880 (with the vacuum ink pumping system and stationary carts) in the past, and I am a bit concerned about the flow of the ink inside the cartridges and the possibility of introducing air in...

You are using the refillables from inkrepublic with your 3880, right? Do those require all nine OEM chips or just two of them like the inkjetfly carts? Not having to do the reset procedure every time ink gets low would be another plus with the inkjetfly carts...

Thanks for the inkjetfly carts tip, I'll probably give those a try, since they also mention that their chips are the "always full" type and they can be refilled without removing them from the printer. Any chance you can send the chips to Cyprus? (they are so small a regular mail envelope would...

I don't have both right now, so I can't provide samples of the same film from both, but I've tried all the 9000F, epson V500, V600 and V700. I ended up with a V500 and a dedicated film scanner. As far as resolution goes all are pretty much the same, with the V700 being slightly better. But in...

I'm planning on getting a 3880 and use it with refillable cartridges, and so far all the cartridges I could find sold by reputable sellers (inkrepublic, inkjetmall, precision colors, inkjetcarts), seem to require the transfer of the original chips from the OEM to the refillable cartridges to...
