Printer software upgrade

[3Deep]

Can someone give me a little advice, I keep getting a printer software upgrade for my epson L1800 I use this printer only for DTF, do I need to let it upgrade or just keep clicking no, it only comes up every now and then....plus why do I need to upgrade the printer software any way?

Can't provide an exact answer since I don't have that printer nor do I ever install printer software that comes with a printer.

But these 2 things came up on a Google search using Epson L1800 in the argument for update request:

Thanks, I know sometimes when you update stuff, you might get a heck-up in some of your other programs which is a pain in the butt

Does that also keep you from using the color profiles that may come from 3rd party inks? I use Cobra Pigment Inks. In my Epson dialog box, Preferences/color, these show as choices to adjust depending on paper choice. makes quite a difference.

Most prints use only black for film.  Possibly I'm missing something on inkjet transfers, but has not become an issue so far.  Dunno.

We are using our printers very differently. My printer is now used mostly for transfers, and I was very pleasantly surprised when I started using the Cobra profiles.
Previously, mostly, I lightened actual photographs with the gamma control, to get close to the original, but colors were often way off.
Pantones? fuhgeddaboudit! Now, surprisingly close.
