There was a typo in your designation: It is the L8180. Comparing both on the Epson sites: 3 years of warranty for ET-8550 after registration not available for L8180 on the EU site but on the cz site. Also buyable warranties are different, see pictures. These are not technical, but can make a...

I couldn't find the L6180 on the Epson site. Please give me a link. If they only have small differences, like warranty then they are different. At least the inks have different codes. I have no information, whether they are also hard coded differently. See picture from manual. Maybe there are...

I think it's better they have different naming than just doing region coding in the machine only. So it is obvious for everybody that there are differences.

Taking 500lux/10 hours a day with more than 15 Mlx hours I reached already 30 years. The average deltaE2000 is 3-4. That is not that much. It is measurable but whether it is really visible on a print is something different. My testing conditions can be called harsh at least with light...

My latest measurements after a doses of about 15 "megalux hours" show no significant differences on the same papers. Depending on the purpose of the prints it may not matter.

Short reply: OEM ink on bad paper: Does it help? Yes, the ink is what fades Cheap in ink on OEM paper: Does it help? A little, little, little bit. It is still the ink which fades and cheap inks much much faster. Cheap ink on cheap paper: Does it help? Yes, if you plan to change your pictures...

The bottled Claria inks from Epson for the ET-7750, and I dare to say the ones in the 8550 are not weaker, will have no problems within a year indoors even with direct sun. Outside to direct wheather, sun and rain, it will be different of course.

Go for a external monitor with hardware calibration and you are the right way. With a Color Checker Display Pro you can do the calibration and profiling of your monitor. Check witch device works best with your new monitor at the manufacturers site.

So you have a error 5B00, or something different. These are other ink absorbers.

Printing black and white has its own mystery. I don’t do it often, but then when I want good results I use my Pro-1000. my Pro-100 also serves well and had no problems yet. The paper I used with it was mostly Moab Exhibition Luster. The other one a cheaper paper from Photolux, the studioSilver...

Please search the forum for errors and service tool. You will have stuff for a lot of hours to read. After that you will have much more insight to a lot of the problems. The second source is YouTube. Cheers, Maximilian

So you have all models you can download all Bios you need and than flash other printers. For Canon printers buy or download the appropriate Canon Service Tool and you can perform already a lot of tasks. No, not all problems have to do with the BIOS. This is not a hacker forum. Some of what you...

The problem with Chinese inks is that you seldom know whether you get the same quality over a longer period. Especially when you by small quantities or cartridges. There are ink developers also in Europe which produce inks for the professional market, but are they interested in producing for...

But there is still a 40 pages long review for the ones who want more to read, like I do.

My tests with both ChromaLife100 inks are still going on. No really significant differences till now. ChromaLife100+ Is used in the printers with the nozzles for 1 pl. I read somewhere that therefore viscosity is also different but can’t remember the source. MM

Did you ask Canon support for replacement of the printhead? Here in Germany it is 89€ including all shipping costs.

Drip some water on the logo and watch whether the black is bleeding and which colors you see.

Maybe this is, what you are looking for.

Your printhead model number is on the side. It is black on black, so a little bit hard to read.

After having a lot of problems with my IP100 I could use a MX925. After printing both files with the highest possible quality I scanned with 1200DPI, the highest I have without interpolation. You can see already the single dots. So it's ok. In the one with 1200 PPI you see in the mid the picture...
