I have not had the described problem with Epson, Ilford, Arches, some generic watercolor paper I bought at the local art supply house, or Kirkland(Costco) papers. I suspect that the paper you were using was not designed for the Ultrachrome inks. Once you change papers I think that you will like the printer very much with the exception that you will always run out of the only ink cart that you don't have. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 9/18/05, Jim Nichols <jhnichols@bellsouth.net> wrote: > Several months ago, after reviewing comments on the LUG and other sources, > I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer which uses 8 color > UltraChrome inks.
