    UV light test for OBA'a on a variety papers

    UV light test for OBA'a on a variety papers

    Hi, Ink Stained Fingers. I am sure it is related to marketing and overall revenues and profits. Canon, Epson, HP, and others are all selling ink as their revenue per liter for one set of Epson P900 cartridges is ~$440 (1/2 liter) and $880 per liter or $3331 per gallon. That price is a bargain...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    Hi @Smile Given my recent UV light testing on my papers, There are a couple items to consider. 1) If you are willing to go down from 300 g/m^2 down to 250 m/m^2, Then Epson Premium Glossy or Semi-Glossy in A4 would possibly meet your needs. I tested the Epson Premium Glossy side by side...

    Very slow scanning on Glass. ET-3850 using Scan 2

    Hi Jon Epson is a bit elusive regarding expected scan speeds. I found below that the ADF and flatbed would be the same for B&W, yet twice as long on the flatbed for color. It does not give the resolution used for this scan speed either, and I have not found any documentation of scan speed vs...

    Severe Smudging with MX922

    Hi Charles All I have read is that the printheads of the mx922 are compatible. However, swapping printheads is usually recommended when you have a known working printhead in the printer having the issue. Otherwise, you may be just trying to solve another printhead issue. So, your mileage may...

    Severe Smudging with MX922

    Hi @Charles218 From your first image, the upper portion of the PGBK print head is not working correctly, while the lower portion is. I am not the expert yet I believe these are the nozzles for the pigment black ink. This is consistent with the smeared portion of the text being on the top...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    I did not check availability in Germany. Yet Baryta papers often do not have optical brighteners with glossy options. I will list some links to check. They come in various textures and costs, and, therefore, not all are identical replacements for the HP Premium Glossy. I thought it was worth...
