Looking forward to your review Keith. My only misgiving regards the ET8500 is it's not much cheaper than it's bigger A3+ ET8550. Unless space is an issue it's hard to understand why anybody would opt for this A4 only version when the difference in price between them is only about £100.

Thanks - one of the reasons I asked for the 8500 was that I get asked for informations by so many people who didn't realise they are pretty much identical from a print POV. It also gives me a chance to explore a few more papers and ideas I've had since the 8550 videos and review

Hello Keith, I just got the 8550, it seem to print on the dark side, is there anything I can do to correct this, thank you

Depends how you are printing - a huge variety of potential causes. Start printing a known test image from the free EPL software See the main written review for more www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8550-printer-review/

The blue tape is indeed everywhere... After installing it and thinking I could start using it, I opened the paper drawer and guess what... more blue tape.

Hi Keith! I am having such a hard time with this printer. If I use photo paper, specifically matte presentation paper from epson, or canon photo paper, the colours are rich and vibrant and beautiful. The second I swap to cardstock, the colours look faded, and instantly kills the 'professional' look, and makes it look very homemade, which is not what I want. I have seen so many people use this printer for regular colour printing, and none of them have had the same issue I have. I don't know if it's the crappy Apple driver (I saw your other video about the airprint driver, and I am definitely not using that one), or if I just need to get a windows laptop just to print on cardstock. I have tried about 50 different icc profiles, different combinations of paper type (I even tried telling it that I was printing on an envelope). I have used the epson print software that you always talk about, I have tried printing from photoshop (changing the icc profile, the colour space, and the paper type), I have tried using Affinity Photo while changing all the same things, and I've tried saving my documents as PDFs in Canva, and then trying to print to no avail. I am positive that I am overthinking this, since I seem to be the only one having this issue. Any idea why this would be happening? I have wasted so much paper and so many hours searching online just to resolve this one issue. I feel like it's holding progression in my business up and I am so frustrated! I have watched all your pertinent videos and read all the articles on your site, and I still am not able to find a resolution. Please help if you have time! Jenn

Sorry but the answer is probably no more than the exact type of card. Any time I hear the word 'cardstock' I'm prepared for people telling me it's no good... No settings or software will help if the card is not suitable. Find the exact card that people are using, which worked in this printer?

I just got this printer. While its primary use will be photos for me, I was trying to print shipping details on small mail envelopes that I use for selling cards on ebay. The issue I had was getting proportions, but further was the random input change that I seeminglt have no control of. There are three inputs for paper and I couldn’t understand why it would choose cassette 1, cassette 2, or rear input as I adjusted size settings in the printer prompt and printed again. It would just suddenly change and say no paper was installed because the envelope I placed in the printer was in a different cassette. It became a game of musical chairs. Any idea what makes the printer choose which input between cassette 1, 2, and rear?

I'll have to look at this - for myself, both with the 8550 and now the 8500, the paper cassettes have zero utility other than for plain A4 paper - I used the top feed for everything apart from thick card at the back

Hi Keith I currently have the Epson XP8700 which uses Light Cyan & Light Megenta , I’m looking at getting the ET8550 , Other than ink cost, would there be a reduction in print quality by not having the additional light inks
@KeithCooper
@KeithCooper Год назад
No I'd think not - that's what the grey is mostly there for. I have not tested the xp-8700 though Of course the printer does benefit from good icc profiles I will be looking at the six ink [cmyk lc lm] ET-18100 when it's available

The 8550 is an interesting printer with its hybrid ink set. See here for a lot more info if you're curious www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8550-printer-review/

I have an ET-8500 printer and I would like to print 3x4" name tags - how can I set up the printer to do this and what software should I use? Thanks!
@KeithCooper
@KeithCooper 11 месяцев назад
You need to set a custom print size - as to software, I can't really help since I've used Photoshop for ~25 years for anything like this.
@baeseman
@baeseman 11 месяцев назад
Thanks@@KeithCooper. Is it possible to print that size from Photoshop? No worries if you don't know - I just found your videos here very helpful and thought I would ask, just in case :)
@KeithCooper
@KeithCooper 11 месяцев назад
Yes - I've printed ID cards [see the et-18100 review] The key is in the driver settings to specify a custom media size. Just remember that custom sizes don't support borderless printing See both of these [the printers are identical other than size] www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8550-printer-review/ and www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8500-printer-review/

Mac or PC? If mac, make sure it is not using the airprint driver [see my 8550 setup info]

@@KeithCooper Mac, it wouldn't show up at all after manually entering the network information. So there is no options for it on the "Add Printer" menu on my mac.

Ah, re-install from scratch [go to epson.sn] and follow carefully the exact instructions in the installer See my installer video, and also the other video specifically about the airprint problem. I've used Macs for years and still have been caught out... ;-)
