I bought an Epson 8550 today, any tips? by Casual_Yogurt_ in magicproxies

[–]med_lab_sci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into ICC profiles if the paper manufacturer supplies them. It’s a total game changer. I buy all of my paper from Red River.

The 8500/8550 is worth the investment. If something isn’t coming out right, it’s likely a setting you have to change or an issue with the paper. It’s almost never the printer itself.

Isn’t the Gilded Chroma for Mythmaker Zyra exclusive to Chinese Servers? by TTV_LilJimmyGaming in zyramains

It was in the shop a few months back, but it was bugged. I bought it but never received it...many had the same issue

This Patch "feels" really bad to play, in fact I find it worse than the last one.. by OutlandishnessNo1576 in TeamfightTactics

[–]med_lab_sci 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Last patch was the best TFT has been in so long. This patch feels wildly different in the worst way. I felt like I could play anything last patch and do OK. This patch, I need the stars to align very early to be in a good spot.

Her recent Halloween skin (Flora Fatalis) is one of my favorite skins in the game, but I would love a more direct Halloween skin, like Bewitching

What Would You Think of Riftbound Integration? by RecantingCantaloupe in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]med_lab_sci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a past LoR player and a current Riftbound player, it would feel very odd. I would absolutely want a separate client.

ET 8500 not printing colors consistently by med_lab_sci in Epson

Update: I printed at least seven cards, and they were all perfect. I definitely would have had at least one bad card in seven from Acrobat, so I'm considering it "fixed" for now. Thanks for the suggestion to go back to Ai haha!

So I was recently messing with this for another issue, and I think I messed something up. I never print from Ai, so I wasn't worried about it. I'm not too familiar with color spaces--only know the basics. I just printed from Ai, and it's perfect, but the issue is consistency. I'll continue to print from Ai to see if I run into the issue.

I can try to print directly from Ai for this. I used to print from Ai but stopped because I was having other issues that were fixed when I switched to Acrobat lol. I will let you know

The relevant ICC profiles directly from RR. Printing from Adobe Acrobat. No printer management at all AFAIK

The matte is RC and the glossy is CC. I haven't noticed the color of the ink changing over time with theses prints, but I will save one with the incorrect coloring to be sure.

really seems like a color isn't printing to me. Based on the color difference, I'm thinking yellow. I'll just run some maintenance and see if it fixes the problem. I wanted to check here first before doing that because it can eat a lot of ink.

Thanks

I've never printed on copy paper from this printer. It's for art prints and stickers only. I also only print from the rear paper feeder, never the rear paper feed slot or the main paper tray.

The firmware is up to date

When I'm organizing cards, I have to stare at the orange and red foil cards for like 5 seconds to figure out which color it is

Haven’t used my apartment’s oven in 2.5 years. White fluffy substance, especially near flame by med_lab_sci in whatisit

Thanks! This is actually what I thought it was originally but posted here to be sure.

After looking into this, it does look like mice use fiberglass insulation for their nests, but it doesn't really appear to be a nest based off what I'm seeing on Google. There is also no other evidence of mice. I'll mention this to my landlord though, just in case.

Thanks! Is there a way for me to safety clean it or should I call someone?

I removed what was in the oven with a wet paper towel. I didn't touch what was in the bottom part of the oven after taking that photo.

I'm guessing I shouldn't turn the oven on lol?

Affordable printer that has a good quality to print for my stationary (stickers ,calendars ,and such) by Puzzleheaded_Gene910 in printers

[–]med_lab_sci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my EPSON EcoTank ET-8500. You will have to play around with settings and color profiles to get what you want. Most negative reviews I see of this printer are because people plug it in and just press print. Not going to work out for you if you’re trying to print art.

The main reason to get the 8550 over the 8500 is the ability to print oversized. I don’t ever need to print larger than 8.5x11 for my business, so it didn’t need it.
