I noticed that prints that should be showing blue skies are now really changed to violets skies. Would it perhaps be useful to re-install EPSON Pro 3880-software and in doing so start from new? I tried all I know to get back blue colors but to no avail. Thanks for your help! Harry

Now and then, when I start up my 3880, I get a message on the LCD-screen like: "technical problem contact Epson technical service". I then switch off the 3880 and switch it on again while I continue pushing (up and down) the round middle button on the printer top until the LCD shows that the...

When I execute a nozzle check on my Epson Pro 3880 it is printed very vague and as a consequente it is almost impossible to see possible nozzle problems. Is there a way to get a normal clear print out? Harry

Hello Bert, Sorry for this very much delayed answer to your question. I purchase my Lyson inks in Germany at Farbenwerk Mr. René Columbus Im Winkel 1a, 4628 Dorsten www.farbenwerk.com Excellent inks, good prices and service! Harry

Thanks for response! To "Ink stained Fingers": I am just a simple user of my printer (3880) and not really interested nor capable of applying info regarding "fade résistance , color gamut, bronzing, gloss, scratch resistance, media compatibility, when selecting and using a printer. The only...

Thank you for your extensive information! I am not yet looking for a new printer. Last year I purchased a Epson 3880 which so far serves me well. The only problem I could be faced with is perhaps not printing very often and as a result possible gloggs? But I try, so far successfully, to avoid...

I wonder whether there has been a comparison or a kind of inventory regarding the new generation of printers with "ECO tanks"? Thank you for showing me the way! Harry

I purchase my Epson Pro 3880 in May 2015. Since that purchase date there are the following 4 updates available, all from this year: Epson Print Layout (1.31) 38.60 MBs - 27/09/2016 direct download Epson Print Layout (1.30) 38.78 MBs - 23/03/2016 direct download EPSON Copy Factory (4.70)...

I have a Epson Pro 3880 which I purchased May 2015. My problem is that the Epson 3880 User Manuals that I have downloaded are in many cases totally out-of-date. I have the following guides: 1) Epson User Guide NPD 4043-00EN from 2009 - 202p and 2) Epson Stylus Pro 3880 User Guide from 2011 -...

Thank you for this clear answer! I followed your advise! Harry

I noticed that there has been an 'Epson Printer Software Update' on my iMac for the Pro 3880 printer.This happened in an automatic way. I now have version 3.1 that was installed on July 28, 2015. How can I make sure that no automatic updates are executed by Epson without asking me? It is e.g...

I would like to find literature about the art of B&W photography, mainly offering a discussion of B&W photos. In the first place showing B&W photos, writing in a practical approach why the photo presented is good or not so good, how it has been shot, how it could have been even better. Do books...

Joe, I just found some empty carts 3880 for sale. Exactly the 5 carts, out of 8 which I bought in the USA and that have been refused by my printer. I bought at $8,00/each. As soon as I receive them I will have another experience with resetting totally empty carts. I hope for the best! I will...

@jtoolman: Thanks for your extensive explanation regarding the "market" for empty Epson carts. With respect to this subject I have the following questions: - so far I always managed to reset all 38xx chips to full, even coming from absolutely empty carts. Is it really true that when carts get...

Thank you Joe, for your clear explanation! If I could purchase new chips for the carts that now are not recognized that would solve this recognition problem. You know the Epson printer business so in and out. Could be so kind as to you show me a way to purchase just the chips for T5809 LLK...

As I described in the beginning of this thread, I bought a set of 8 empty carts in the US. When I tested this set, before any filling and resetting, I got the message on the LCD that the printer identified 5 out of 8 carts as "non-genuine cartridges". There was thereafter the message...

I think that the conclusion that no different chip numbers are used regionally is possible but not certain! Attached I show in an Excel file that 5 of 8 carts I purchased in the US (5807 LK, 5809 LLK, 580A viv M, 5805 LC, 5804 Y) are not accepted by my Pro 3880 (purchased some months ago). Three...

Today I received a set of used ink cartridges for my Epson Pro 3880 (not empty) from San Francisco. My printer identifies the LK, LLK, VM, LC and Y as not OEM carts and as a consequence I can not use these. It is a matter of different chips used in the US versus Europe. I took the ink out of...

Thanks to all of you for your warm and nice words! I am happy that a.o. because of your advises of how to print B&W, I now have a nice photo of our daughter! It is for me a strange experience to "discover" how beautiful a B&W image really can be. I never tried because I thought that one needs...

@fotofreek The B&W is based on a much larger digital image of my daughter when she was ill. I took a small part of this image (Sony RX1) which still resulted in an image with sufficient resolution. Sadly enough this lovely girl got cancer of the liver and passed away in the beginning of late...
