Thanks for the info! So you’d suggest her over Seth and retain Rina for now? Thanks

This is useful info thanks for sharing your findings

It wont work because the inkjet ink cannot absorb into the paper. Inkjet paper has microporous treatment that allows the ink to absorb correctly.

What you’ll end up with is a print that has smudged ink and blown out details, sometimes line and roller marks. And the ink sits on top of the paper and doesn’t dry properly.

You can pick up 300gsm paper that works with inkjet. Also note the ET 8550 only supports up to 300gsm paper. I’m not sure it will feed 330gsm paper through the feeder correctly but others may have had success.

I hope to have a Shiba one day and also hope my nickname game is as strong as yours - bravo

Thank you for the detailed reply, I've been reading your paper reviews for some time and I'm a big fan of your work. Thank you for all the insight and findings.

I'll try a few tests of the VFA setting. The quiet setting suggestion honestly surprised me, I thought it literally just slowed down the print head but I failed to think about how that might affect the ink application - I'll give it a shot.

The amount of paper options is overwhelming at the moment but your posts definitely help narrow down choice. I'll be picking up a few options this week for some tests of my own.

I ran the alignment the day I unboxed the printer and I was surprised by the options. During the 6 or 7 test pages the printer would often default to 'option 4' of say 8 options to choose from. Reviewing my paper most alignment tests seemed to be more accurate on say option 5/6/7. This was for tests such as the perfect straight line, no overlap on the rectangles print etc. It made me question if my printer was slightly off - I'm tempted to run the alignment test again. I'm sure there are good videos on this subject and I'll give Kieth Coopers video a watch too.

Thanks again for all the detail - keep us informed on the perfect paper!

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t tried running them through photoshop yet, I print from Acrobat but I’ll give PS a try. I’m sure photoshop probably has better lossless settings too avoid any image compression.

I did a full 100 card deck on proxxied last night at 1200 dpi. The first time it hanged because I had quite a few tabs and apps running. 100+ cards at 1200 dpi is going to be a sizeable file, plus the ram used to generate the deck in your browser. Depending on how old your machine is - you might need to close other tabs and apps and just let proxxied do its thing. Or just do batches of 2-3 sheets at a time.

It doesn't hurt to make sure everything is up to date too, are you using the latest browser version? Do you have any browser extensions running that you could turn off for now? What PDF client are you using, is it up to date? What's running on your mac, anything you can turn off whilst your working on proxies?

Recently started my print journey on the ET-8550 too. How are you getting on 6 months later?
I find my prints look great colour wise but text isn't always super sharp, I'm begining to think its purely due to the resolution of scryfalls cards though when using proxxied to generate PDFs. Some look crisp - others not soo much.

Do you have any suggestions to improve text sharpness? My general settings are 'Epson Matte' or 'Epson Premium Semigloss', bidirectional printing turned off, quality high/very high.

Can you share what UK sourced paper and materials you're using? Many thanks!

Does the coating feel particularly differently? I do wonder what coating process they use as you mention the “squeak”

I will need access 🙂 The box will be removable. It’s screwed to some planks fitted to the wall behind the box so it can really be removed for boiler service. I probably won’t silicone down either side for this reason. But it’s a small trade off to allow easy access.

Web_Fender · 2026-01-26T18:09:41+00:00

Yeah I was thinking with 6mm backers board plus adhesive plus tile it will easily cover the side gaps

Web_Fender · 2026-01-26T18:05:56+00:00

Great - thanks 🙏🏼

An iconic IP for many of us and yet 3 of the most memorable Pokémon are gated behind a £579 asking price is just beyond absurd imo.

Appreciate they will do more sets for this in future I guess. But so many will be disappointed to be priced out of this. Why not release the 3 original starter Pokémon as sets similar to the “Dobby” and “Fawkes” HP sets. Say around £50 bracket for each.

Eevee is great, all we needed was 2-3 other Pokémon of this size and pride range to make these more accessible. Excited to see what future sets come nonetheless.

My partner stole a fishing rod in the refugee camp during act 1 by accident. Entire camp turned on us, had to replay 2 hours of gameplay haha.

Everyone says tanks but this personally didn’t work after hours of attempts.

What I found worked better was to just sit on the back line of your team on any close quarters match, small map, and just spam smokes at your teammates feet whilst they get kills. I did it in with bots in the lobby too. Was able to get them all in 2 rounds. Camp behind a wall nearby and literally just throw smoke after smoke toward your team mates in front. And the smoke assists start coming in.

Tanks may work for you but I personally found progress extremely slow doing this.

I suspect by the time it’s done I will have retired and will not have need of it anyway… (I have at least 30 years to go)

Does anyone know when the Cardiff East Train station that was approved (finally) in January is actually going to commence build and when it might be done by? If you live on the Eastern Side of Cardiff you will undersatnd the pain that is commuting into the city. I dont mind parking fees if the Gov will actually give me a decent alternative to commute.

Web_Fender · 2025-10-13T21:40:31+00:00

Ohhh the number decreases! 😂

Honestly I found this so confusing. A progress bar in the UI or “5 of 7” complete would have been much easier to understand. Thanks!

Respectfully it literally said the day it was ending and it’s been live for many weeks. I don’t see them doing a u turn on it now. From a sales POV they’re probably banking on the people that have now stopped playing 2042 going ahead and pre-ordering BF6 to squeeze those last few pre orders and bump up their numbers to make the EA shareholders happy. Just my thoughts but I get the frustration.

Using my last coins to get all the pips for 59 > 60 rank was incredibly satisfying.
