    bad color when copying - any fix ?

    Nozzle check is fine. Been swapping orig and PC EV6 ink a few times, learning how to be sure making sure everything is fine afterwards (eg: print sufficiently many pages to get rid of the banding after cartridge swap, calibrate print head, etc.). This observation is for Epson colors, results...

    Opinions on Precision Colors newer EV6 dyes?

    Just got an Epson XP-820 and a PC EV6 refill set. Swapping the original Epson and PC colors a few times yesterday to compare, just printing the same photo(s) a few times on glossy and plain paper.

    Ok, i am almost ready to buy a colorimeter or the like to profile my printers. But i did not want to take up a credit with my bank. So i am looking for some advise: a) Is there no "cheaper" option for profiling than buying a multiple hundred dollar device ? Why for example can i not profile a...

    Epson 'T27' (XP-820) cartridge efficient refill

    Are there any refill cartridges for these class of epson printers (i think this type is called T27 ?) that can be explicitly reset to full at any time ? I am asking because i would like to maximize lifetime of the wastepad. The way i understand normal ARC chip cartridges, they will only reset...
