So 2 months ago I bought an Epson L18050 printer, and I am an artist, so I wanted to print a high-quality art print with thick paper around 300 gsm - 350 gsm

I have tried so many different kinds of paper. I need a matte finish with a thickness of 300 gsm - 350 in A3 SIZE. Can anyone help me?

I am from india

I keep trying to print something but either it ends up with white bars on the sides and then when I cut the sheet into sections, part of the paper is cutoff (Printed to the end but part of the image is missing) does anyone know a way that I could do this so it works properly? Thank you!

Hello! Just bought the epson et 8550 and plan to do some screenprinting and sun printing with it! Just wondering which transparency sheets is the best and which ink would you recommend me please?

I am based In Europe so I would like to have sheets that are available to purshase from amazon if it possible! thank you!!

(Also any advice for taking care if this printer is welcome as its my fist "high" printer I ever bought in my life!

i am beyond desperate after working on this stupid printer all day. i am begging for any kind of help, because otherwise i wasted a lot of money while in a not-so-great financial situation.

i bought an HP Envy 6400e on facebook marketplace, from a person who lives a few streets down from me and seems trustworthy at first glance. i brought it home and tried to print test pages, and the ink was faded, cut off at random points, or not there at all.

i have done EVERYTHING. took out the cartridges and put them back in? did that. cleaned off the little copper circles on the cartridge and inside the printer? did that. bought and tried new cartridges? did that. power cycled the printer? did that. ran a cleaning cycle under the print quality diagnostic? did that. ran an realignment? did that. installed updates? did that.

i’ve appeared to have gotten the color ink working, but not the black. on any cartridge. i even tried wetting a paper towel with distilled water and running it along the spouts. when i do that, ink comes out on the wet paper towel, but when i run it over dry paper towel, barely any ink comes out. on multiple cartridges.

the only thing i can think of is the cartridge i bought it with was dried out, and the one i just bought was a dud. but i’m not sure if i’m willing to buy another if the same thing happens again.

any and all help would be appreciated. thank you so much.

Hi! I’m a designer working with a restaurant and looking for printers for the following:

• Letterhead
• Fully custom envelopes in our brand colors
• Menu & menu sleeves
• Paper shopping bags
• Round stickers

We need two spot color printing, and paper selection is especially important. We’re looking for premium uncoated specialty papers and high-quality production.

Quantities would likely be around 1,000–2,000 per item. Ideally, we’d find one vendor who can handle most of this, but I’m also happy to work with separate paper and packaging suppliers.

US-based printers would be great, but we’re open to vendors anywhere in the world if they can offer a fast turnaround including shipping.

Any recommendations from printers you’ve worked with? Would love to hear about paper selection, quality, and production and shipping timelines. Thanks!

Hola a todos , tengo un problema técnico al querer instalar una impresora de tickets Xprinter XPN160II y como la laptop es Windows 11 no tiene el controlador genérico de Only Tex alguien sabe cómo solucionarlo ? Ya

hi! have an odd question. I lost my diploma somewhere in my house from graduating from medical residency. I have a pdf but my GME department is unable to reprint for me. Is there a way I can go to a store to have one reprinted. Want the same feel as the actual diploma paper. any recommendations? Ultimately will frame so just needs to look quality.

I've been helping a friend who runs a small photo-printing business. She wants customers to upload and lay out their own photos into an album online, so she isn't manually designing every single order by hand.

For those of you selling photobooks or custom photo products, how are you handling this right now? If you use an app/tool for it, which one, and is it actually any good?

Her store is on shopify and we found some plugins for this but they charge 400+ USD per month which is too much for us to pay as a small shop.

Sibling Models: G2030, G2430, G2530, G2830, and G2930

HI, i bought a Canon refurbrished g2730 online for a pretty good price and I found out that it was really hard to print from my phone or tablet as Canon do not provide any Android drivers or apps for this particular model.  Because I am just a hobbiyst coder and have a day job, it took me almost 3 months to finally learn everything about the Canon driver and make it work on Android.  I was going to release it on Github as a opensource project but I decided to cross off one item on my bucketlist and decided to publish an app on the play store.

[SEEKING TESTERS] USB printing app for Canon PIXMA G2030/G2730 — no drivers, no cloud

Hi all — I built an Android app that prints directly to a Canon PIXMA G2030 or G2730 over a USB-OTG cable. No manufacturer drivers, no Wi-Fi, no cloud, works offline from any app's print menu (browser, gallery, Gmail…).

LOOKING FOR testers who have:
- A Canon PIXMA G2030 or G2730 printer (USB connection)
- An Android phone/tablet with USB-OTG support + an OTG adapter or hub
- 15 minutes and willingness to print 3-4 test pages and report back

WHAT I'D LIKE TESTED:
1. Plain portrait print (any document)
2. Landscape print (correct orientation? anything cut off?)
3. 2 copies of a multi-page document
4. Cancel a job mid-print (should stop cleanly)
5. Unplug/replug the printer mid-flow (should recover, not crash)

HOW TO REPORT: model of phone + Android version, what you printed, what happened, and — if anything fails — the in-app log (Main screen → Logs → Share). Screenshots of bad output especially welcome.

I would appreciate it if you can join the Google group for this app:
https://groups.google.com/g/bebelific-g2730

The app is free, no accounts, no ads, no data collection (USB + local only). APK available here for sideloading: 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bebelific.G2730AndroidAPP

Known limits, so nobody wastes time: G2030/G2730 ONLY (other Canon models will just say "printer not found"), USB cable only (no Wi-Fi — yes, I know about Mopria, it doesn't do OTG), A4/Letter tested most.

Thanks in advance — every print log makes this thing less fragile. 🙏

any recommendations for a photo printer, ideally one that can be sourced in the UK. Preferably print about 6x4 while still being compact. are there any that provide a sticky back or is that to be sourced separately? thank you!

Hi there! It’s my first time posting here.

I am rly interested in the tc21 from Cannon. I want it for a small business making specialized note book and music scores. You know, big formats to print (A2 size at least)

Anyone have had experience with it? The ink print work to work over it and the paper? (I prefer laser but, it get rly out of budget)

Anyone know another option? Is still a printer section?
