Hi everyone, which option should I choose on canon ts8320 printer for epson premium/regular glossy photo papers? I always chose "photo paper plus glossy II" but maybe I should just choose "photo paper glossy"? Would there be any difference at all? Thank you.
But Epson Photo Paper Glossy is two grades down (the intermediate one being Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy), so my guess is a closer paper would be Canon GP-701 Photo Paper Glossy, so the setting for that paper might be closer. I can't recall whether the Canon drivers call this "Glossy photo paper" or "Other glossy paper" or what, precisely.
If you have a stock of the Epson paper and aren't too particular about color accuracy, by all means use it up. But going forward, the Canon papers tend to be cheaper than their Epson counterparts, and of course the Canon driver settings are more clearly designated, and probably more accurate, for the Canon papers.
I don't know whether Epson or Canon paper is more expensive at BestBuy, and your link points to 4x6 inch size, which I rarely buy. But usually when I buy Canon and/or Epson paper, it's letter-size paper from B&H--and Canon is less expensive than Epson for the comparable papers:
BUT I think choosing between Epson and Canon photo paper based on the small cost difference is not the better approach. For the most part I buy Epson or third party paper for my Epson at home, and Canon or third-party for the Canon at work. And by third-party I don't mean something cheaper, I mean something better, which is almost always more expensive.
Is the "photo paper glossy" option specifically for a Canon paper or is it meant for generic glossy paper? If it is the latter it MIGHT take a conservative approach to maximum ink levels that results in lower ink densities compared to the Canon Glossy II.
Yes you will great results if you have a custom profile made for papers not branded the same as the printer, but for a user with a lot of non-printer brand type paper he can choose a similar paper type/profile and may be happy with the results.
I have used random 3rd party carts on my older Canon printers (TS9020; MG6220) for years. But the older printers are different. The chips are easy to reverse engineer. I've never had a cheap cart for these printers not report as genuine Canon.
For work that is not mission critical, I think these cheap inks are fine. Sometimes, a black and white will look right on; at other times, a black and white tends to the cool side. Remember, I am not thinking about longevity. I use pigment ink printers for all my office documents.
I'd ask if the larger black cartridge has pigment ink as it should. I have also found LD Products to be a good vendor in this area, including being able to talk with someone on the phone. For example, the service person verified what type of ink (dye or pigment) a given cartridge had.

My Epson Perfection 700 Photo scanner will not connect to Ventura. The Epson Scan2 software does not recognize the scanner. It worked fine until I upgraded to Ventura. Epson is no help. Is there a work-around?
I tried that. I deleted the scan2 app and got it again but had the same issue. I really don't want to have to get rid of this scanner. If I can make the epson driver work again I can get the silverfast software back and resume the ability to scan slides and negatives. There is simply no comparable scanner currently available.
I finally figured it out. On my new M2 laptop there is a 'hidden' privacy setting that would not let any other 'outside' devices talk to my computer. This included ANYTHING connected by USB. Once I found and fixed that, I was good to go and the scanner now talks to the computer.
my epson XP-960 printer its printing out with blue cast color on all prints including colored and black white photos , i had just re-installed new inks which are not epson inks but worked with before with no issues , funny thing is when i change my printing settings to print in "plain paper" colors come out ok on my black white photos and colored ones but the printing quality is bad with bands or stripes across , when i change the paper quality to either premium glossy or ultra premium photo paper prints come out with a blue cast , on my colored prints all colors are visible/printed but they have a very strong blue tint they look horrible and the black white come out blue , its really strange and i tried printing with several printing papers including epson premium photo paper , kodak and even HP same thing happens , i did do a nozzle check and cleaned the printing head and all comes out good i just feel im wasting printing paper trying to fix this.
The first thing to do is run a nozzle check; Epson is the Mercedes of printers in terms of how often they clog with no obvious signs until you run them hard by doing a large run of photo printing unless you let them sit and it tends to be obvious (especially consumer photo models with LC/LM). On pro models, these often have an LK or LLK cartridge with the Ultrachrome K3 printers which is also a troublesome cartridge as it doesn't get used all the time like LC and LM, and Orange on older pro printers. You can do this from the control panel, or the driver. If it has issues here, the head is either flat-out blocked or one nozzle has a few dead lines and it affects photo printing. It MAY clear up with one cleaning, but it seldom does with Epson. Epson printers cannot sit, they have to be run regularly -- people find out as you did a lot more often than I care to admit! I can adopt a nice Epson photo printer with a clog (read: A REAL 6/7+ color model; LC/LM, LC/LM/LK (midrange older), LC/LM/LK/Orange (older) and LC/LM/Red (newer), 9+ on really nice ones which originally cost thousands. CMYK photo printing is a poor color spectrum retrofit added on as a nature of the way these work meant for Grandma to quickly run family photos but otherwise go to the drug store), unclog it, and run it 2-3 times a week and have a really capable photo printer for %#*@ near free, or even free.
If you have access to it you can sometimes clear these types of clogs with programs like Qimage (Windows)/Qimage One (Mac/Windows), but I get not everyone has access to it; it's expensive ($129/250), and costs more then most people paid for their printers, but I own the software for color-critical prints I need to be perfect because I can have things like profiles for custom papers I may not be able to apply to the Epson or Canon driver, like HP photo paper on a Canon Pixma 6 color without the option on the driver side, as well as better prints (or at least near perfect) because I inherited unused boxes, or it was on clearance. Qimage will generate a unclog page which can sometimes repair the issue but it does a number on your cartridges (however, so does multiple cleanings and a power flush which also tanks the remaining capacity of your waste ink pad so much so Epson says it's a last resort and warns about this!!! I recommend against it). Since you're going to use a lot of ink anyway make it hurt as little as possible. You want to run this at the best level to ensure it clears as much as it can. After that, run another nozzle check. If you can afford something like Qimage, schedule it to run those cleaning pages at least once a week to keep the printer from doing this; I usually need to do it every other day where I am due to humidity on sensitive machines like Epsons WHICH DO NOT LIKE SITTING!
Note: Select all of the colors on an LC/LM equipped Epson to ENSURE they run -- it might not clear those if you do not use a non-photo mode and force it to run them since those tend to only be used with photo printing.
