    AdobeRGB option in Printer Profile (Canon Driver)

    I must admit I'm still not getting the issue, but let me just mention one issue - there is a flag 'profile type' in the profile header which declares the use of a particular profile or color space. Only icc profiles with the profile flag 'prtr' will be used when it comes to printing - these are...

    AdobeRGB option in Printer Profile (Canon Driver)

    I'm not really getting it - please read the older postings - AdobeRGB is not a printer profile but a color space so it won't be available as a printer profile for a specific printer. You probably have an option somewhere to select between AodbeRGB or sRGB, and the driver uses the Canon printer...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I got familiar with the handling of the T2100 - driver settings - inks - paper loading etc. I can say that the T2100 comes over as easier - simpler to handle than the Canon TC-20 , the T2100 does much less internal activity than the TC-20 , and the use of the user panel on the top is much better...

    Greeting! Needing some Epson help...

    You already got so far to find the 'cartrdiges' on the printhead carriage, these are called dampers. There are reasons that they go empty - one could be the outgassing of the inks - what type of ink are you using - original Epson or some 3rd party ? you can do one thing - via the driver or the...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    the print quality of the Canon TC-20 is good - very good for a 4 color printer, I tested lots of driver settings and profiled several papers, that all went very well - with roll paper or via the sheet feeder, there is no point at all I would critique, it's the user interface I didn't get along...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    My Epson SC-T2100 arrived, I got it installed pretty easy, it is printing with the setup cartridges as delivered, I'll go and profile my roll papers in the next time. The printer does not do much internal activities between commands, it is much more responsive than the Canon printer. The printer...

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Tks for keeping us updated; it's an aggrevating approach by the printer manufacturers to make refill pretty much impossible or to find out which method still may work.

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Don't mix inks in a cartidge, yoiu may install a cart with dye inks and then run a deep clean or whatever other stronger cleaning command is available via the driver - like a normal clean and a strong clean- but that varies between printers and companies. If you need one-time chips Brother has...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I would assume that the printer would cut such paper but with the effect that the blade wears out earlier. I have seen that on my old P7600 , but that was not too much of a problem since blades were available via Aliexpress. I'm currently in contact with a local Epson supplier - a dealer which...

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Sorry - I was looking for the wrong printer - the J6940dw uses pigment inks for all colors with LC422 cartridges. Tanksytem printers by Brother are not popular in Germany. https://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk/cheap-printer-cartridges/brother/mfc-j6940dw/mfc-series/refillable/empty/cyan Here is a...

    Help. Brother j6940dw, LC402 cartridge INK TYPE, dye or pigment ?

    Only a test can confirm a good or not so good ink performance, printer manufacturers don't tell you any detail about the performance of their inks, it can very well be that inks like the bt5000 or bt50001 are different - or not. You have a similar situation with Epson or Canon tank printer inks...

    I returned the Canon TC-20 printer last week using the return right for online purchases, the EU min period are 2 weeks, this distributor offers a general 4 week return right.

    Stylus Photo 1400. To clear out of ink error, which cartridges to replace?

    If the normal cleaning cycle of the printer does not help to unclog the nozzles with the new cartridges you may do some flushing of the nozzles, there are plenty youtube videos posted showing how to do that like this one, this method works for most 4 or 6 color printers except some photoprinters...

    Am I defecting to Canon ?

    I was trying to print an Epson T3100 setup guide on my current Canon TC-20 via the sheet feeder; it didn't print very well - I had to make a head cleaning at page 4 and 25 to get a clean printout. I don't know whether a Canon printer does not like to print Epson documents .........?

    Head cleaning

    If some pigment ink residue is building up slowly it takes a while until the problems become visible for the user. The pigment ink could be the culprit, and since regular cleanings don't help anymore you one way or another have to do a thorough printhead flushing, there are plenty of Youtube...
