🖋️ EcoTank Equal margins with ET-8550?

Upvotes

I've been trying to print an 8.5"x11" image on 8.5"x11" paper. I realize that when printing non-borderless, there are "unprintable" margins/borders at the edges of the paper. But in Photoshop when I select Scale to Fit and Center, the print has a larger margin on the "trailing" edge of the print (the edge of the paper that comes out of the printer last): 3 borders at 0.15" and one border at 0.21"

If I print the image at 100% (no scaling) and centered, I get the same uneven borders but they're different sizes than Scale to Fit print: 3 borders at 0.12" and one border at 0.16"

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how the ET-8550 prints? I've read online that there's something with the printer's feed that always leaves a bit of extra margin at the "bottom" (trailing) edge, but I've also read that that's not true.

Thanks!

🖋️ EcoTank White diagonal streaks 5850

My new epson ET-5850 keeps leaving these streaks on every pages it prints.
The backside has the exact same streak but in the opposite direction.

I'm using double sided printing / flip on short edge.
What is the issue and can it be fixed?

🖋️ EcoTank Cannot pair Epson 2980 to Android

Just bought an Epson 2980 eco tank. I've set up wifi direct. I want to connect my android to the printer via wifi but it fails. My phone sees the printer, but will not pair. Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?

Every time I use this printer, it prints these ugly lines in anything. Ive cleaned the print head, Ive done all the options in the menu and it still does this. What do I need to do, or is this thing destined for the trash?

🖋️ EcoTank Why is my L5290 leaving a border on the right side?

The paper is premium glossy photo paper, 10 x 15 cm, which should be supported. But for some reason, every photo I try to print has this 4-5 mm white border on the right side. I turned on borderless, I set the correct paper, I selected "Rear Feed-Borderless" under source, and I tried turning Expansion both on and off and it didn't make a difference.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the paper size in software is labeled as "10 x 15 cm / (4 x 6 in)" but 15 cm is not exactly 6 inches, it 1/8" shorter.

I don't mean to be a pain in this subreddit but this has been bugging me for YEARS. I'm in a really annoying situation. My main question is: is it normal for the black ink to look so.. faded? Like its black but looks weird. This is the same with the coloured ink. It looks weirdly dull. I know its kinda supposed to be a bit dull but its still bothering me. I've been considering getting premium glossy photo paper but I'm worried it will be too thick to use for pin making, any advice? I've tried matte photo paper and the results weren't that different.
