Whew, the quality of the C82 really stinks. I have spent hours trying to profile the printer to match the Corel color test card. Who needs resolution when it can't reproduce the color from the camera? (Olympus E20)
The durabright ink stinks as well. Now I know why all of the demos show the print in a tube of water. That's the only way you will ever see a glossy print from this printer. It needs to be wet.
My old HP1315 did incredibly better when printing on "Olympus Pictorico Pro Hi-Gloss" paper. It's an expensive paper but nearly as durable as the DuraBrite ink. Instant dry, no smudge ... It doesn't like water but it's an ultra high gloss that rivals lab prints.
As soon as the ink runs out, the C82 is going to be donated to charity. I'm going back to HP.
Any comments on the Epson C82???
