    Hello Nelson, this confirms my suspicion, if I print a AdobeRGB file with AdobeRGB in the ICC-profile selection of Epson Print Layout, then this should emulate the same like colormangement "off". Unfortunately in the Epson Print Layout software you have no longer access to the "normal" printer...

But I want to try your trick with the Cancon Montval 300g fine texture aquarelle paper (more expensive but available in all sizes over the years).

    I did not want to open an new thread so may I ask a question here about the possibilities in the Windows printer driver of the Epson 8550: Can I choose an own ICC-Profile/Paper combination in the 8550 printer driver or do I need a software able for color management like Photoshop?

    Epson sure color P900 print head/nozzle issue?

    does the nozzle check change after 24h? If so it could be air bubbles in the inks supply or inside the printhead. On my p900 I had no problems up to now but on my former Epson printers waiting for several hours helped to get rid of air bubble problems and the nozzlecheck was fine again.

    Pigmera GX inks for P900 - recommendations?

    hehe, I think I agree with everything pharmacist said :weee. I bought a used p900 and compared the Farbenwerk Pigmera prints to the OEM inks which came with the printer and for me they are equal.
