Just getting up and running with my 3880 (my first "real" ink jet printer, so pls forgive the elemental level of these questions...).
1. I have recently calibrated my screen using an xrite-eye one. Can't say I notice any difference, but I'm sure it must be subtle. Anyway, the xrite software would have me believe that i should purchase some more hardware and software to create a profile for my printer, the 3880. Is this really necessary?
2. I installed the software for the 3880 and it seems to print ok (have only printed a few items). I noticed that there is no device profile for this printer under the colorsync utility (using osx leopard), is this normal?
3. For some reason, when I choose certain paper sizes (eg, 4x6 off the sheet feeder), the software restricts my choose of media in choosing the paper. For example, presentation quality matte is always grayed out when i choose that paper size, but not others. Any idea why this may be?
Thanks much.... tony.
