Video: Bad print quality – ET-8550
Why some paper just won’t work with your printer. Some papers are simply not compatible
Keith show how a white glossy paper doesn’t work with the Epson ET-8550 EcoTank A3+/13″ printer.
In fact the paper isn’t compatible with any Epson desktop printer – or any Canon desktop printer, at any media setting. It’s not about having a paper ICC profile – the ink does not dry…
Sometimes you just have to move on – there is nothing wrong with the either printer or the paper.
For more about this, and many other issues see:
Here’s the first print after being left overnight to dry
