Epson SureColor P600. Your thoughts?
Thank you Bob and Rich,
I don't think I will ever use the roll paper feeder and have never used the matte black option on my R3000, so hopefully there shouldn't be a problem. I also think your comment Rich that 'complaints are aired far more frequently than praise' in reviews is probably a very valid one.
By the number of replies received I wonder if not many members have the P600. But thank you again for your very helpful comments.
If I decide to go ahead (with the P600) I will let you know of any problems.

Thank you. I did that a couple of days back and received no reply's, so thought it no harm to try the Main Discussion Section.
Maybe not many members have the P600, however I have just checked and have now received a couple of useful reply's.

Epson SureColor P600. Your thoughts?
I think my Stylus Photo R3000 is on its last legs and as I need to print some photographs for an exhibition by the middle of next month I am considering purchasing the Epson SureColor P600. (I also considered the Canon Pixma Pro-10s, but the space I have will not accommodate it).
Reviews of the P600 vary considerably with some of the worst being on the Epson UK website. Other reviews indicate that Ink heads clog, (a problem I have never had with my R3000), some say there are problems loading fine art papers, so I would love to hear what you’re your experiences are with this printer.
Thank you in advance.

Epson Stylus Photo R3000 problem
Many apologies for not getting back and thanking you both for your input. I did try printing via Lightroom but the problem persisted. I had not tried the obvious by reinstalling the printer software as Epson had said it was not a problem with their software. (I had however reinstalled PS without success) Reinstalling the Epson software seems to have worked as I have done a couple of prints without the problem, so far so good. Thank you

Epson Stylus Photo R3000 problem
My Epson Stylus Photo R3000 has developed a problem (printing via Photoshop CC). The Printer starts OK, but after a while slows down and then stops altogether. After waiting a few minutes the print is ejected and only the first part of the image appears (bleeding from image to the white of the paper).
I contacted Epson and after many emails asking many questions, and involving me sending samples of the problem, they suggested I try Epson Easy Photo Print software which seemed to cure the problem. Epson’s reply was ‘in that case it was an issue with the software. As this is not Epson software we are unable to troubleshoot it’. Easy Photo Print doesn’t have the control that I need.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Right Eye problems - Suggestions please
I have the Sony A6300 with the EVF on the left hand side and although the camera is obviously designed to be used with the right eye, I have always used my left without much problem.

Newb here: Exposure question with pictures included

Do you have the latest Adobe Creative Cloud version of Lightroom Classic CC? If so, use the Auto button in the Develop module Basic panel to see what Adobe's AI thinks is the best exposure. A great place to start before other changes.

Your second image is muddy, and with the latest Lightroom, you should have been able to recover the image more than what you posted.

I am able to understand something said as an opinion that might be incorrect but to blatantly give wrong information as a fact (“I've ruined great lenses with crappy CPLs”) is very confusing to a new member, and might lead them to question legitimate answers.

Please explain how a lens can be ruined by using an inferior CPL?

Scanning black and white and color negatives
Sorry, forgot to say that a positive image file is obtained (from negs.) by just using the Epson Scan software and there is no need to use Photoshop. (although I usually do, but only to get the best out of the file)

Scanning black and white and color negatives

DIK and A.J.R.
OK I guess I need Photoshop to do the conversion.
AJR..... I will try using the V750 Pro and see what happens.
Thanks guys.

I have used the V750 Pro to scan colour slides and negatives and B&W negatives of sizes up to 5"x 4" for a few years now with very good results, probably the best flatbed scanner there is for this purpose (although now superseded by the V850) . To set up for negatives launch Epson Scan and under document type go to film with film holder. If you need anymore help let us know.

Scanning black and white and color negatives

The Epson V600 Photo scanner is likely your best bet, and only $200. I have been using one to scan literally 10's of thousands of 35mm and MF slides and negatives for 7 years now. Epson software automatically converts negatives to positives and can fix MANY issues with the film when scanning, even severely faded colors.


Pg has said he already has an Epson 750 Pro, which is a better specified scaner than the V600. The Epson 750 should give him excellent results.

Sony A6000 auto focus problem
Try taking the camera back to its default, by going to Menu, and then far right tab, then page 6 - Setting Reset - then Camera settings Reset. This will take the camera to its default settings, so anything you have set up on it before will have to be set up again.

Epson Perfection V600 Scanner not working

And is the film inserted in the carrier correctly? Shiny side down - film code and number appear reversed when viewing from the top.


I have never found that this makes much difference to the sharpness of the resulting image.

It's not my white balance!!!

The walls in my living quarters are yellow, but all the pictures I take with my Sony a7iii show the walls much yellower than they are. I've been trying all different white balances in the camera except creating a custom one. The colors can be fixed in pp but it bugs me that they are so off SOOC.

So, I was outside taking some pictures when the sky was a beautiful blue. When I imported them, I discovered all kinds of spots in the sky. I always clean the lens before I go out on a shoot, so I was quite surprised. I cleaned all the glass surfaces and took some pictures of the wall to see if the spots were gone. I took some with the UV filter on and some with it off.

The spots are gone AND the walls are the right color with the UV filter OFF. The lens is the 24-70/4. I will try this same experiment with my other lenses and with my Nikon D500.

Can the UV filter really be the cause of such a color shift? Both pictures are the same exposure (F/4, 1/15, 1600 ISO).

A couple of points. If you are using a UV filter just to protect your lens a (good quality) clear filter would be better.
The spots on your image would be so far out of focus if they were on your lens (or filter) they wouldn’t appear as spots.
I only clean my lenses when I feel that it is really necessary, as, unless you are very careful, more permanent damage can be done.
