Mr. Frog please help with Epson ET-15000
blue moon:
there are two types of film. one is is matt and sorta milky while the other one is clear. The matt type is called waterproof and it's what probably should be used.
What are you using? Thinking is that if you are using clear that would explain the problems printer is having with recognizing the film...

Good point. Since I have always used pigment inks, I have also always used the "frosty" film.
screenxpress:
I'll be interested in hearing the solution here. I've always thought paper loading (or failure) was a physical action, not an optical one of "seeing" a successful load vs. a "trigger" sensor switch indication. Color me curious.
Grape Ape:
Yeah, so I do use waterproof film and that was used as test when first got printer. Think some of the issue is that my print window is not what Mr. Frog posted. I checked the other computer, and it is same there as Frogs is. Which is a great start to retest the 15000 with settings. The only difference I see offhand is the new computer runs Win11 and old is on Win 10. Will try and test this weekend been fighting my 1800 to get some films done for work this weekend.
Mr. Frog what color channel Black are you using? 100% Black is what I use on the 1800.
Also on more options tab do you have color correction on auto and Bidirectional checked?
Its good to hear that you have moved to outsource your work. You have always been inspiration to me and I am sure to old crew from back in day from original Forum (The one Barnes Destroyed) Dont even remember name been so long. I was banned 2 days after Robert took over. There was years of great print information on that site. Think Hirsch wound up with it from memory and then poof gone.
One place read last year was this one talking about the sensor to read the paper. I think my problem and theirs is I did not have the selection of correct paper.
Search "Issues printing transparencies with ET-15000" on Reddit has one conversation about issue.
Thanks to all.

I have no option of black color channels, and use RGB black in all art I create.
No to the bi-directional option. I've attached the details of the settings visible option on this shot
And, yes, this machine is on Windows 11
