Title: Epson 3800 with LR Classic CC changes Matte to Photoblack randomly
Post by: zobelaudio on October 13, 2018, 08:20:53 am
Hi Guys,

Newest LR, when Printing with Matte Ink, Printer changes from MB to PhB every 2-3rd print.
Very annoying, not even talking about the money.
Now I have reinstalled the printer multiple times, have recreated the printpreset from scratch in Print driver as well as LR to no avail.

any thoughts ?

cheers
Stephan

definitely odd behavior, LR just sends whatever settings you have set in the driver. But perhaps somehow the template tool isn’t retaining the paper type or ink type settings correctly.

Are you using the Printer... or Print button?  For now I would verify the ink by going through the printer option and confirming MK ink is selected there.  Somehow in the workflow something is changing the ink type in your template.

I have a bunch of MK cards to print, I’ll watch for this.

Thanks Wayne,
I have recreated my presets since reinstalling the printer driver. All fine there. Also in LR new preset for MattePrinting.
So no clue, what else it could be...

cheers
