Thank you for these wonderful videos, I am loving this printer, although I find that I have a bit to learn to really use it well. I had a question on PVC media. I printed using your guide, but my ID card was disappointing due to blobs of ink making the bar code illegible, as well as photo. Do you have a recommended brand of PVC card that I could try? Thanks!

Hi Keith, thanks for this video the results look great! Can this be done with the ET-8550? Like you mentioned it only has the CD adaptor but I was hoping it was possible to buy the longer one to enable this?

I've searched for a tray for ET-8550 and I don't think they exist.

Since you mentioned stickers, I'd love to see a video dedicated to printing stickers. Such as which printers can do it, how the process goes etc. Just as an idea for a future video. No hard feelings if it won't happen.

Ah, the dreaded stickers... People keep asking about this but I've genuinely no idea what they actually are or why people have such an interest in them? Probably my age :-) I've tried one sheet of 'sticker' paper and it didn't dry properly. As it stands, unless someone sends me some media to test it's on the 'unlikely' list I'm afraid.

The Epson ColorWorks series like the C4000e is used to make professional labels like the ones used on food packaging or wine bottles. Some make labels complying with standards for shipping toxic chemicals by sea that are supposed to withstand being immergée for 6 months, so very tough. Unfortunately the ink cleaning cycles on mine eat up more ink than actual printing so expensive to operate. Another interesting printer is the Citizen CX-02S, which is a sticker-only variant of the CX-02 (aka DNP DS620A) for 4x6” or 8x6” dye-subbed stickers with lamination overcoat and very strong adhesive unlike most consumer printers like the little Canons.

Yep - wrong card type for the printer Some cards, just like some papers simply won't work well with a particular ink set. Nothing can be done other than get a different card material.

It resists handling quite well - I just rubbed the one printed in the video with my thumb and it was properly dry - no marks. Still not sure it would take a lot of actual handling, but the double sided one may well move to a spare slot in my card wallet, for longer term testing ;-)
