Message: [QUOTE="mitsely, post: 229271, member: 26146"] I just bought a new Epson ET-8550. It has great photo printing, but I bought it for two-sided booklet proofing on plain paper, which is worse than an HP ENVY Photo 7855 I bought for $150 in 2020. The main problem is ink bleed on and through the paper: [LIST=1] [*]The HP prints crisp text without bleed around the characters. The text and images do not show through the paper from the other side. [*]Text from the Epson ET-8550 bleeds around the characters. [*]Both text and images on the Epson are very visible through the paper from the other side, particularly the black areas of the images. [/LIST] Any suggestions of what I can do, short of returning the Epson? Is it possible to switch off whichever black is showing through the paper? I could live with the bleeding. Many thanks! [/QUOTE]
