ReadyPrint Max: Epson bietet Privatkunden-Abo für Drucker und Tinte an https://www.computerbase.de/news/audio-video-foto/readyprint-max-epson-bietet-privatkunden-abo-fuer-drucker-und-tinte-an.92892/ #Epson
Specifications for the Epson LX-80 dot matrix printer from its manual. In 1984 these were fairly typical for 9 pin printers, though things like Near Letter Quality mode were less common (a mode that increased the effective resolution of each character: normal mode characters had to fit in a 8x9 grid, while NLQ characters had a denser 12x18 grid for the same size - this allowed 9 pin printers to stay relevant a bit longer though at the cost of printing speed).
Anyone have any experience with the #epson #sureColor #T2170?
I just want to be able to say to someone:
It's a printer, connected by USB AND sitting next to the router. It's only two feet from the computer. There is no way it CANNOT get a signal from either thing. It SHOULD print. That is its function. Its raison d'etre. And if it won't print under conditions that a printer built 20 years ago WOULD print, then where is the fucking progress? The only advance has been in the price of ink.

I bought an #Epson inkjet printer but received a painting canvas and three bottles of water. Thanks #Amazon Thanks #RiodeJaneiro
It’s funny, but of course life and art goes circles this way. I had rather fallen in love with papers other than the Baryta, papers with texture that made the bokeh slide into dreamy watercolor-ish paper looks. So I was favoring that strongly for a while and neglecting the look of the harder paper surfaces
But of course for some images not better, and in the proofing I’ve been doing lately the Canson Baryta paper is *much* better, color, contrast, and deep tones

Got my Epson P7000 behemoth printer working again. After hours and hours, lots of $$$$ of ink and fancy paper, I was deciding it was going to be an expensive repair and I wouldn’t be able to use the “photo black” ink to print on the Baryta paper for this upcoming show.
Just as I was really giving up, last night, the banding stopped and prints are perfect. Whew.

I posted on DPReview. On my huge #Epson P7000 printer I'm getting banding with Photo black ink enabled. Wierdly I was getting gaps in the nozzle check on the Light Black ink while PK was selected, but not with Matte Ink. Matte Ink is printing perfectly. Switched between them a few times, cleaned heads PK/LK many times.
Cleaned the channel bays behind where the head parks as well as the pad above the wiper assembly and the wiper. Still bands. Nozzle check fine.
What a PoS the official Epson scanner software for Linux is. It can't find its own scanner over the network, while all the other open and closed source scanning apps (e.g. VueScan) have no trouble doing so. Even by manually entering the IP, it won't connect to it.
Noooooo! It still doesn't work on the production machine. Same workflow works on the bare bones newly set up machine. OK, I guess that's why there is some discussion of it but not a whole lot. Somehow Lightroom is not seeing the ICC profiles on the production machine, same version sees them on the other machine, same OS version.
OK, for anyone following along, the answer was to update the OS.
With Apple these days I try to avoid any new major OS version because of new bugs, but in this case it seems to have fixed an old bug.
At least this works from a different machine I updated to Sequoia, perfect color management. The long Sonoma nightmare is about to be over, and I'll be printing without cursing again.
I know whatI’m doing, or trying to do, by the way. I’ve used this printer a whole lot and have a well established workflow from #Lightroom. Just recently (Sonoma) things have gone south.
There are a few threads on Adobe forums of others with this problem, so it’s not just me. Just that answers workarounds are rare.
Try Qimage? Get a cheap Windows machine to print?
Probably nobody here can help, but I’ll try.
Printing photos to a large pro Epson printer, Surecolor P7000. #Mac, #Sonoma. Photoshop, Lightroom, latest. Epson printer driver: latest (13.x)
Trying to color manage using ICC profiles, color is all off. It may be #Apple #Epson and not Adobe here. The color profile seems not to be used. “Printer Manages Color” gives ballpark results, Using ICC profile is way off
Update to #Sonoma? Drop a machine back to Monterey?
Digital printing of clothes, a process in which inkjet printers are used to add color and patterns to fabric, is drawing attention in the apparel industry in Japan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/07/18/companies/clothes-digital-printing/ #business #companies #fashion #3dprinting #sanyoshokai #epson
I'm really liking my new #Epson printer. I need to print out maybe 20 pages a week for work, etc, so I don't need a high volume device. Replacement ink is cheap and comes in simple bottles. Print quality is good.
Epson wants you to use their app for installation, but I don't want yet another company selling my data to 3rd party brokers, so I opted to download and install the drivers on my computer, which was pretty simple.
Made a beautiful print today, but not until I wasted a piece of expensive paper and some ink first. This is on my chest-freezer size #Epson p7000 behemoth pro photo printer.
I think it is some bad interplay between #Apple and Epson. I have to delete/reinstall the printer driver every couple of weeks it seems. It seems even minor system updates from Apple throw things off with the Epson driver. Colors all bad, reinstalled the driver and it’s beautiful.
Anyone from #Epson on the Fediverse and happen to work on their iProjection software? If so, please make it work with #ipv6. That is the one show stopper that is blocking me/us from creating ipv6 only and ipv6 mostly wireless networks. For some reason iProjection won't work through nat64 or directly with ipv6, even though the projector's web interface does work with native IPv6.
I'll even send you a pizza or two if that would help! :)
