Why is the Epson et-8550 generally chosen over the canon g620 despite having one less color?

I am rocking a et-2800 and am loving it and the hobby in general. I want to upgrade and was looking at the 8500/8550 but came across the g620 which has 6 dye colors compared to the 8550 5 dye colors + 1 pigment black for regular printing.

The only thing I see on the tech sheet is the 8550 has slightly higher dpi, but for being much more expensive and lacking that extra red…

g620 is capable of printing on the same cardstock as well.

What am I missing here?

Looking for feedback on latest batch of cards for my Locust God deck

Using an Epson et-2800, koala 180gsm single sided glossy, bonsai laminate. Cameo4 to cut.

After a lot of testing I found the auto color is damn good, but I know there is better.

Clean edge but raised lip? Cameo 4

As you can see in the reflection? The edges are pretty clean but always raised. How would I fix that? The paper+laminate is .33mm thick. Using stock cameo materials.

Settings:

Exploding arrow amazon. Feeling capped, looking for advice on any notable improvements!

Hey all, this is my first PD2 season and first time playing D2 seriously in yeaaarrrs. Decided to roll exploding arrow amazon, loving it and am able to pretty easily clear slammed high roll T3s.

Was just wondering if there were any clear upgrades I am not seeing? Have faith bow on merc and CTA. My struggle has been maintaining high enough AR for 100% hit rating.

I have about 5hr to spend on whatever remaining upgrades. I am trying to sneak in more crushing blow to quickly kill fire immune elites.
