Epson L100
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 1:44 pm
Hello,
I've recently purchased Epson L100 inkjet printer and now I'm using it with Turboprint 2.28 driver. Currently the newest Epson inkjets are not directly supported by Turboprint , but it still works quite fine - for example, L100 is just a S21/22 model enhanced with CISS, so the Turboprint drivers for S21 and S22 work OK. But still, there's some problem:
Colours are very accurate on plain paper and even Epson Photo-Quality inkjet paper, but I can't get good colors on any photo paper. I've tested different sorts of semi-gloss and glossy papers, including Epson Photo Glossy, but I'm totally frustrated with the results.
The photographs appear to be greenish (or maybe bluesh), low contrast - they look like they're tinted. Both "Glossy photo" and "Premium Glossy Photo" settings produce such bad results. I managed to get some better results using "Inkjet paper" setting while printing on photo paper together with manual color control (I lowered the cast of Yellow, increased Contrast etc) in Turboprint options, but the result is still far from ideal.
This seems to be quite similar to the asspain of tunin Gutenprint driver (still no luck there too), but it' starting to make me down after paying money for Turboprint license...
So,
- is it because of S21 driver being used on L100? (they use different types of ink, btw)
- will Epson L100 be supported in Turboprint 2.29?
- are you going to resolve these color issues?
- is there any way to fix the colors right now? (different driver/settings/color profile)
Thank you for any response in advance!
