Hmm... On the advice of the ArgyllCMS mailing list I downloaded and installed iProfiler 1.8.3 as it still allows you to measure your profile charts without needing a license. So I've installed everything and it's all recognised and passing iDiagnostic tests but when I attempt to use the...

Just as a different approach using the same cleaning solution; A passive head clean approach is worth considering as the first port of call: http://www.octoink.co.uk/_video/_clean/Passive-head-clean ... and whatever you do with the active approach (as shown in the video in @Ink stained Fingers...

Can I ask how you achieved this? I'm aware the baseplate does look reasonably "abused" But I can't say it looks weak so much... That said, I've not used the thing properly yet so that assessment may change. That would be very useful... I have an i1Pro1

Yeah, that's great for reading the targets once they've been printed but not for converting the target TI2 information into something that can be read by ColorPort. Long story short it seems likely I'll need to import the patches into ColorPort, organise them in there and then generate the...

Urgh.. :\ Ah well... Looks like I'm going on one of my adventures then :pop That's the bit I think I'm going to struggle with here... but I've made some inroads... It turns out the best way to get your profile targets reordering correctly is to go a bit mad in excel with lots of data imports...

And here we hit our first hurdle... I have a profile target that I have quite a few pending target prints waiting to be read using this new i1IO but while I get that I need to use the ColorPort app to do this, I can't work out how to convert the ti2 target to the format needed by ColorPort. So...

So, an update... I managed to get hold of an i1IO unit that came with an old i1Pro ver1 as a bonus. I'm now in the process of getting everything setup and so far this is what I've done/learned. Get i1Diagnostics 4.1.2 as this is Windows 10 compatible AND i1Pro ver 1 compat' too. Later...

Actually this was a question I had when I was looking at the Pro-300 and it dawned on me that if you're using refill inks (including refilling from wide format OEM carts), why would you put a part used cartridge back in instead of a completely full one. Obviously it's a different story with OEM...

Hi Allie, Chances are this isn't necessarily going to be the best forum for your particular area of interest as most of the folk on here are about desktop printing and if memory serves (although I'm something of a lapsed forum member) there's not a lot of discussions, much less experience of...

I've managed to get an i1IO unit (at last!) which is coming with an i1Pro (don't know which type yet) which will be unneeded so once I've tested everything to check it works (assuming it does), you'd be welcome to use the spare unit if that'd help.

I'm actually in agreement here... This video might help with the cleaning process: But I definitely agree with @The Hat's assessment on those cartridges. The "compatible" sponge in a box PGI-72 cartridges are absolute trash and I'd definitely switch to refilling OEM cartridges with pigment...

I'll check with my source for empties here in the UK. They will likely have what you need and may even have a source in Europe although I doubt it. Will let you know.

For those of you following this thread (and any new folks browsing) I've done some more tweaking on my video approach and come up with two that I think cover the different styles I've been considering... but, as ever, I need more feedback. So, for those interested, these are the videos: First...

Normally I'd recommend trying to get the printer working with parts, etc.. but dye-sub in something like an ET-2720 is a hide to nothing. This is one of those, "learning experiences" you don't repeat again unless you like haemorrhaging cash. My guess is that Epson would quote you for more than...

Thankfully we're not at that stage yet but as I mentioned above, part of my query was wondering out loud how much demand there actually is for those older machines with the unique Orange/Blue/Red inks. The R2400 with its LBK, LLBK and standard inks beyond that is thankfully still very much in...

Yeah, it's that last bit that's proving the challenge. Inktec don't formulate for those at all unfortunately.

I've recently been reviewing a few things to do with legacy inks and printers back to the era of Epson R2400, R800 and the like and in conversation with suppliers it seems that manufacturers like STS-inks are now actively abandoning some formulations due to lack of demand as well as changes in...

I fear I need to start a new rant about off-topic non-ranting... Oh the irony! :smack :old

If you need it to be North American supplier you could always look at InkOwl.

There's two of them?!! :th:hide
