Hello,
A couple of days ago I got both the EPSON SC-F100 & SC-F500, previously I was using an EPSON L1800 with Sublinova inks and InkExperts ICC profiles, so that is what I'm comparing them to.
My findings so far is that the print quality I'm getting on hard substrates from both the SC-F100 & SC-F500 is completely unacceptable and isn't really of a sellable quality.
I've attached a photo to this post showing the exact same file printed on the exact same paper, on the left print is the SC-F100 and on the right print is the L1800. You should be able to see that edges of the rainbow on the left are not smooth, and are filled with what looks like tiny dots, these are visible after pressing and makes the transfer appear grainy.
I have tried 3 different papers, EPSON DS General, InkExperts Style & S-RACE 120 all produce the same results when printed from either the SC-F100 & SC-F500. I've tried both of the included EPSON ICC profiles (Rigid/Textile) as well all the different quality settings and the results the same.
Has anyone else had similar experience with either of these printers? I'm thinking this can't be right, surely I'm missing something or doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Mark
