Once the Navi installation is complete, make these two tweaks to get the best out of your L805:
Many users simply plug in their USB cable and let Windows Update handle the rest. While this gets the printer "working," it often misses the core features that make the L805 special. Here is why the Navi installer is the superior choice: 1. Enhanced Color Profiles
The L805 is famous for printing directly onto discs. Standard generic drivers often fail to register the CD tray properly. The Navi installer ensures the software integrates seamlessly with the hardware. 4. Advanced Maintenance Tools
Ensure "Scanner Driver," "Epson Event Manager," and "Epson Print CD" are checked. Step 4: Connecting the Hardware
The Navi package includes the latest ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles specifically calibrated for Epson’s 6-color photographic inks. This ensures that the "Cyan" you see on your screen is the "Cyan" that hits the paper. 2. Comprehensive Utility Suite
Navi installs deep maintenance utilities that allow for powerful head cleaning, power flushing, and nozzle checks that are essential for maintaining a CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) printer like the L805. Step-by-Step: How to Install Navi for Epson L805
