P.S: The cartridges should not be full full, there should be half of the cartridge full of air (about 50% full is OK), left should be left inside in order for the ink to flow freely. If you fill them to the top, you can disconnect the inktube and suck a little of the ink from the bottom and...

No problem, hope the printer is revived in the end. Even if cleaning solution is left in the nozzles it is no problem, the ink will push the cleaning solution (if it is a normal one), I am not sure if you can even do more harm if you leave it like that to dry. I've always put back cartridges and...

Hey, Most likely due to the inactivity the ink in the dampers went back to the reservoirs and the ink lines and dampers are full of air. Possibilty one is (if you know how to do it) to open the printer top and access the dampers and such the air with a syringe (open the rubber of the yellow...

I am writing with an update. I found the product code of the A2 platinum paper in the pack and it appears they are exactly the same as the roll papers, so I bought yesterday the sample pack and started testing. The papers instant dry (platinum and the RC Pro Luster) and their durability is...

Well I am using the original inks that came with the printer, not refills but consider changing to inktec pigment ink if there will be no problem with them (however I am not sure how easy I will switch to them - I found cartridges and chips but I am not familiar how I will swap the inks since...

@oliver666 This is sad to hear but at least good to know I do not imagine this. Did you find any other solution other than using original canon media? Did you try regular Canon glossy/satin papers or just the Pro Lusters and Pro Platinum? Did you also test matte papers and did you see any...

Thank you @thebestcpu , I also saw the office1 but since I did not see the exact same paper in my plotter page I passed it by. Yesterday I tested another Gloss and Silk media - the scratch resistance there is much stronger although they still scratch at some colors. I start to wonder if I am...

Thank you both @thebestcpu and @Ink stained Fingers I am located in Bulgaria and sadly all the cut papers I found (there were just 2-3 types) were not listed as compatible on the canon website when I choose my TM-255. I will go buy another advertised as "high quality premium glossy and satin...

Hey, thank you so much for joining the discussion. I would gladly buy and test canon glossy, however .. the seller told me that all except the matte 140gsm is with delivery, which could probably take 2-3 weeks maybe .. Until then I am lookin for a solution (if any), I saw that on canon website...

Hello, I hope that I will find some support here because I am getting desperate. I bought brand new TM-255, 2nd day using it. Everything was going great - started creating some ICC profiles with my colormunki for the media I had around and suddenly I decided to test how durable the ink is on...

Thank you for the link, I will try contacting them again regarding those specific inks. In your opinion, will they be problem free (keeping in mind it is a different printhead compared to the printers they are designed for)? To be honest I did not even think of refill, but after you mentioned...

Hello Ink stained Fingers, thank you for taking time to post. To be honest, I was thinking of going with the OEM inks (at least for the time the printer is in warranty) as long as the inks longevity was OK. I am not familiar at all with Canon 3rd party inks, I messaged Inktec about canon...

Hey, Just a little update on my journey with the L1800 because I forgot to post. I am using the L1800 with the 106 inks for the CMYK and T54C for LM LC for like an year now and the printer is working great. I noticed that the Y is generally stronger on the 106 inks and after profiling with my...

Hello, I have been on a quest of finding my first bigger printer. So far I have only used Epson printers (L805, L850, L1300, L1800) and this will be my first Canon. I was hesitant at first because I looked Epson's T2100 which was reviewed by Ink stained Fingers but the absence of auto reset...

Hey, There are test grids which you can use to find best settings for engraving on the desired materials. The test grids are just squares with different speed/power settings so you can see which performs best. I think lightburn has such free test grid, otherwise there are several in Etsy and...
