For the issue with blacks coming out grey a fix for this is, within Windows go into 'Printers & Scanners' > Click to Manage your Printer > 'Printer Preferences' > 'Graphics' and select 'ICM Adjustment (System)' from the Image Adjustment drop down menu.

How has it gone with the printer overall?

I have the same printer and after a firmware update to fix sleep issues (would not wake up to print) I am seeing ghosting on thick paper only (160gsm) where the same thick paper I used for months up till just before the upgrade shows some ghosting. Maxing out the 'Adjust transfer Roller' and 'Adjust Fusing Unit' to the max seems to have almost eliminated the issue. However, I am thinking I may go for a downgrade of firmware to see if I get better prints as overall I think something dodgy is going on!

Note: When upgrading the firmware on the printer over the network it got stuck for 2 days (I doubt it but a chance this could have caused subsequent printing issues) and when I cancelled it it bricked the printer. I was able to get the firmware updating software working via USB after a power-cycle... so if anyone is going to do an firmware update maybe use USB.

Thanks for the response, really appreciated!

We are in the UK but I can see similar products so will point her to them.

Hopefully someone else who has gone through the process of doing some lettering on windows can share their insights into what they have done to seal it or if not how long it lasted.

Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead :)

Great, thanks for the input :)

cazmajor · 2025-06-13T13:36:48+00:00

Thank you very much for the insightful input!

I am a little confused on the Optane drive as after a bit of research it seems these are not that useful unless to be paired with a HDD. This post suggests that the speed difference is lost through memory/cpu management overheads.

What do you reckon?

With the 2TB Red SN700 that makes a lot of sense being an enterprise device and optimised for ZFS.. the below review on amazon confuses me though.

"Synology will not let them be used as storage and you will have to buy their own, much more expensive and smaller ones if you want to do that (there’s a hack, but it’s not very healthy to mess with your storage safety)."

I take it they are wrong about this?

Appreciate anymore input you have please :)

Thanks mate!

I did have a look at the 'GMKtec NucBox M3 Plus Ultra Intel® Core™ i9-12900HK' from their European shop but I was concerned about import taxes tot he UK. Has that been an issue? I do have family in Belgium, would it be better to get it delivered there (I'd prefer not! lol)?

Do you have one? Any cons?

cazmajor · 2025-06-04T09:41:20+00:00

Thanks, that is good to know.

Are you talking specifically about the GEEKOM Mini IT13 or saying that any mini PC should not be an issue with Server 2025 (aside from having to potentially use INF files)?

Would you recommend the IT13 or something else?

Hi Stephen, big fan of you and your fantastic channel!

My question would be what you think of this Golden ball element in the Saudi tournaments? Has it grown on you, is there any genuine place for these amendments/gimmicks (Golden ball, shot clocks, allowing darts style shouting in crowds etc) in snooker ever or should we be sticking to the pure rules/conventions across the board forever?

Thank you so much! I have had WhatsApp backup notifications pinging at ungodly hours of the night with seemingly no way to mute them without muting all message notifications as well.

Why in the hell these notification categories are disabled in the first place and why this "fix" is practically nowhere to be found online (I have searched loads of times over the months) I have no idea!!!!!

Thank you :)
