The R1390 and the L1800 models both use the same printhead (Epson Part Number F173050). We offer a "L805 to L1800 adapter board" on our website at the link below: www.inkdropprinterservices.com/l805-printhead-l1800-adapter The L805 to L1800 adapter board allows you to install a L805 printhead into a L1800 or R1390 printer. Performance is overall the same when you install the L805 printhead and adapter board in your L1800 or R1390 DTF printer. The benefit of using the L805 to L1800 adapter board is the cost of the printhead. The L805 printheads are much cheaper than the L1800 or R1390 printheads. I hope this explains it.
@@SuperTech220 tried doing this but Ive noticed that the color management and printing results are no longer the same, does this needs a specific ICC profile when using 805 on 1800?
@JersonDeVera-xy7rz there is not a specific ICC profile. Color matching is dependent among ALOT of variables. To correctly color match we would need to start with PMS color values or something similar then begin to determine which ICC's are best to match those PMS values. For example....there are atleast 20 different versions of the color red....having the PMS value closest to the "red" your looking for would be the best starting point.
Very well explained 👍 Thank you very much and blessings to you and your family 👩👦
Is replacing the L1800 printhead to R1390 board improves perfmance? How?
