Just to follow up on this... In the nozzle check chart below, does anyone know what CUR InkCount - Pre Ink Count and C-P values mean

Thanks for the explanation, very interesting and informative

At the end of the ink tube is what I understand to be the dampers. Can anyone explain what the function of this device is. I have noticed that after the printer has been stood for some time, maybe 2 hours, I am seeing a blob of ink hanging from under the print head and I don't think this is...

After turning the printer on this morning, the first thing I did was a nozzle check and the black nozzle shows broken lines and the yellow nozzles shows signs of black. The life support has now been turned off, all that is left to do is arrange a burial for it now, at least I have the original...

The Saga continues :) My R3880 is still in intensive care, I am refusing to turn off the life support. I decided yesterday to open her up one last time and perform a laparotomy on her. Here are the results http://www.digitalblackandwhite.co.uk/printing/epson-r3880-revived.html/

Thank you for the comments

Thanks, took your advice and hopefully we are now close to been back to OEM. The printer is on borrowed time and I expect it to die within a few days so just getting ready to sell on for spares

I currently have a ConeColor PK ink cartridge in my R3880 and I want to go back to OEM. What is the quickest way was to flush out the Cone Ink

I will try the darker setting, I always thought this altered the gamma value

Hmm, it dips a bit more in the shadows than I was expecting. These are my settings I used

Here are the results from scanning the 21 step wedge supplied by Keith Cooper

Here are the updated results showing both L a b values. Is it possible to plot a linear graph from this to see how linear or not the results are.

Thanks for that, very interesting read, especially the comment about the 3880 will be a tough act to follow...

Interesting question, I think I may have had a -100 saturation layer above the main layer. I am going to re-spot the patches again to include the a & b values. By including the a & b values, will this allow us to work out just how neutral or not the ABW drive is ?

A Bit off topic but whats your thoughts on how accurate this test is which I performed yesterday. In Photoshop, I filled three shapes with black, middle grey and white. The values I used were L values so for Black I used 0, Grey I used 61 and White I used 100. The stroke around the white shape...

What other things could cause over inking apart from incorrect Media setting in the driver

Thanks for the link Roy, appreciate that, I will go and have a read now. Thanks for the comments on my black and white images Ian

Interesting comments been posted. I think I must have been unlucky with my 3880 as most people I have spoke with say how robust and reliable it is even after years and years of hard use.

The reason for the question was to see if anyone had actually purchased this printer and what: They thought about the HD inks What they thought about the build quality of the printer My current 3880 I feel is on borrowed time, I still haven't fixed the PK status issue and do occasionally get...

Has anyone purchased the P800 yet and if so what are your thoughts in both output quality and overall build quality of the printer
