    The Epson SignatureWorthy/Legacy Media Rebate is Getting Sketchy

    Epson has evidently hired a new contractor to process rebates. The SignatureWorthy/Legacy Media Rebate is a buy 3 get one free rebate on these lines of papers. I've been routinely submitting multiple claims, from the same invoice, on the same form, and Epson has reliably sent multiple checks for...

    Resolved, Please Ignore.

    I'm using an Epson SureColor P6000. When I print from a roll of Hot Press Bright, I'm getting these smudges along the left hand side of the roll. I've tried: 1.) three head cleanings 2.) increasing the platen gap to maximum 3.) increasing suction to maximum 4.) starting a fresh roll to reduce...

    Epson SureColor P6000 - Extra Space when Printing on Rolls

    I recently started using an Epson SureColor P6000 and initially if I wanted to print, say, 24" x 30", it would cut the roll at 30". Lately it has started adding extra space—around 1 - 3 inches, which I have to measure and trim off manually. I'm printing using the Epson drivers. Does anyone have...

    Who is good at shipping fine art paper?

    I've been buying Epson Velvet in 13" x 19" and 17" x 22" sheets from BH for close to a year, and while they started out okay, the quality of their packing has declined to the point that they basically let the paper side around freely with little to no edge protection. As a result, I'm constantly...

    Pixelated Text on Epson 3880

    I don't normally use my 3880 for text or vector graphics, but as I was printing a logo I noticed that the edges look really pixelated. I see significant improvement with the "finest detail" setting, but I'm still not getting the perfectly smooth lines I would expect from a vector graphic. The...

    Adjusting to different output on new paper type

    I have a sizable library of images that I've proofed on Epson matte/fine art media, using the default profiles. Generally, these run dark so my adjustments tend toward lifting shadows and amping up highlights. I'm trying a new paper by Red River. Their profile yields prints that are...

    Epson Watercolor Radiant White vs. Velvet Fine Art

    I'm wondering of anyone has an opinion on Watercolor Radiant White vs. Velvet or other standard fine art papers. Watercolor seems to be Epson's bargain basement fine art paper, but my impression is that this has less to do with image quality than presentation. Velvet is twice as thick and...

    Epson: Quality Prints on Stationery-Style Paper?

    I have an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Basically, I want to offer a boxed set of small prints, in the style of greeting cards. Epson Velvet is too expensive and over-the-counter greeting card paper doesn't yield professional quality. Ultra Premium Presentation Matte is spot-on in terms of quality...

    Newbie Questions on the Epson Stylus 3880

    I've been happy with the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 that I purchased last December and have enjoyed learning the nuances of fine art printing. However, I've been having a couple recurring issues that I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice with. First, as I reach the bottom of my first ink set...

    Giclee Printing on Epson Stylus Pro 3880

    I'm looking at buying an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 to create fine art reproductions. These would range from famous art pieces printed from high-res source files to plates scanned directly from antiquarian books. It's important to me that these be of acceptable quality for the consumer market. I...
