I was just going to say that it's well worth getting sample paper packs from suppliers and trying out the results with a test image that covers a lot of the colours and gradients you want to see in your images. I use online paper company myself (believe they're now owned by Permajet?) but I...

Actually you need to be a little careful with that as disposable diapers now often have a sort of granular material that forms a jell when mixed with fluid and it makes an unholy mess if you rip open a nappy/diaper (I speak from a parenting 'oh-dear-$deity-not-again!' POV here) so be careful...

I've been keeping an eye out for i1Pro related stuff and they are selling on eBay.co.uk for between £150 and £400 depending on condition and who's bidding.

I'm guessing the context to this post is that you've been looking at waste ink replacement pads for some Canon printers, correct? If so, I have a supplier for suitable material that we work with... I can't give away the supplier information but I can source it if you need some that is already...

Not as embarrassed as I feel... I've been putting off delving into a dead Pro-100 because I thought it was going to be a ruddy hellscape of confusion and plastic tabs... and waste ink stuff is kind of my area of expertise.. #fail. Thanks for sharing though...

Welcome to the throng... I'm a bit lax of late but this motley crew are pretty good company so enjoy... *wanders off humming Hotel California quietly*

Personally I think the main reason why such blanket statements need revisiting and reviewing is because what constituted a "dye" versus a "pigment" has changed enormously in the last 10+ years, particularly in the last 6 or so. Dye inks are no longer the sole domain of plant/bio' based...

*Psst...* try not to confuse the old folk with multiple printer models... They get themselves all worked up and we have to call the nurse for the sedatives... ;)

Given the sheer detail and level of research that must go into developing that level of understanding I'd guess he has limited time to spend schmoozing on third party sites. Of course I can't speak to his own priorities but time sure is at a premium.

I gave up with the X-rite software pretty much immediately as it crashed my PC (first time in forever) and the newest version won't even install due to corrupted files. If you're happy to play with ArgyllCMS though the tools work great.

Just as a follow up... I found you can't install the Argyll CMS driver when you already have an official driver installed for your existing device (eg: i1Pro). I could only install the Argyll driver once I'd uninstalled and deleted the official (X-rite) driver for my i1Pro and then it would...

Couple of things that may already be in this thread (but I missed) and others that aren't so I thought I'd share while I have the info in my noggin. 1. Getting hold of the AdobeRGB1998.icc is an exercise in groundhog day frustration if you try the official channels. This workaround via the...

The portrait mode suggestion solved my problem and leaves me feeling a little sheepish but then hey, if you can't fall on your face occasionally you aren't human right?... :hu Anyway, I thought I'd share the small adjustments I made to make the manual scanning process a little easier, in case...

Just had a look at the ArgyllCMS docs and can't find how to do that but it does feel a little like you just slapped me upside the head to create a very effective "Doh!" moment. :he I'm looking now but do you have a link or cmd line example of how I'd do that? EDIT: Found it!! Why on earth do...

Argyll CMS... Specifically because I want to be able to share the profiles without the licensing restrictions that iProfiler include... iProfiler also appears to be broken on my OS (win10). I did consider it but those things are EXPENSIVE! Just out of interest, how much did you get yours for...

Never thought I'd be posting in the 3D printing forums but here I am, cap in hand, eating my words (enjoy it while it lasts!)... I've found myself digging out my i1 Pro1 profiling tool but am getting very frustrated with the limitations and poor design of the profiling jig that holds the i1 Pro...

Tbh, I thought the same but the legal position that Canon has been taking seems to indicate that someone is selling off counterfeit units, so you do have to wonder if that's the entire market. After all, how would these companies be getting hold of used units to refurbish them?

Just a quick note regards the original topic... Canon recently started legal proceedings against sellers of "counterfeit items" which appears to include printheads so this may explain why so many of the supposed OEM heads on fleabay, etc... are failing... So, as noted with a few other folk...

So... I suppose you want me to cancel this order then? :frow

I try to avoid too much repeated intro' as it's a fast track to losing the short attention span crowd but I take your point that an intro' video might be worth doing. The bit about pre-prep' on what tools needed, etc... is definitely a good idea though... and yes agree about well lit. A friend...
