    Firmware update

    So just let it be known that I am stupid and illiterate but Hat knows so much more. Good, trust the loudest vessel the HAT. Hat knows everything about Canon printers. That he is a moderator means he knows everything and can remove anything that he does not agree with. Get the idea? Trouble is...

    Firmware update

    No need to mismatch, I don't know what your point is when a proper one exists. http://www.precisioncolors.com/PC65ICC.html Ultra Pro Satin is not far off the Canon one anyways. So what is your point. My point is that even if someone purchases Red River Paper and does not use Official Canon...

    Firmware update

    If you are using OEM chips and you HAVE to be as there is nothing else available what are you afraid of? Did the Hat scare you enough? New models will typically have updates in their first year because wrinkles need to be ironed out. I updated mine and there were no deleterious effects and I...

    Typically whenever Canon sends out a replacement printer on warranty, they ask you to dispose of the old one yourself It is not sent back for refurbishing or inspection, I experienced it two times. My replacement Pro-1000 came by itself on a 2 ton truck on a pallet, the delivery had to be...

    Pro 200 - Need help

    This guy has been posting on dpreview as well. I recommended he change the tanks to new ones. On DPreview https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65216970 the picture clearly shows ink starvation somewhere that is not revealed perfectly in the nozzle check, If the starvation does not go away, he...

    WTF is this magic chip. There is no magic. When you see support codes on the 200. You simply follow the dialog provided on the screen and proceed as Canon directs you. On the 300 there is minimal dialog on the screen and no guidance, just keep going until you see support code 1699 and then...

    Epson WF-3620 No black

    Aaah a wheatstone bridge for precise measurements! Goes back to the late 70s for me. Doing some studies it looks like. Do another head clean to purge air! You still need to clean all channels. Do remember you have a choice of Black only etc. so make the appropriate choice. Nozzles should always...

    Epson WF-3620 No black

    The 3620 has a user replaceable waste in maintenance box. The 3620 is reasonable when performing head cleans. It took 5 years for me to fill the waste tank and I use the printer every day and about every two months this issue comes up as air slowly builds up internally. Again, this is perfectly...

    Epson WF-3620 No black

    On these printers it may take 6 to 8 head cleanings to restore a printhead that has filled with air. As long as progress is made, continue. Sometimes it may get worse after the first or second before it starts getting better. Just the Epson for you, par for the course.

    If it is AI, it would not be intelligent or smart to put the "learned" data into a volatile memory space. That would mean that the " learned" characteristics/patterns of the user over several years would be lost. Many people use AI too loosely. True AI is a wonderfully and powerful thing at its...

    In today's world it is highly unlikely that the computer firmware would be stored in memory that needed battery power to retain the operating instructions or firmware. It is more likely that NVRAM is used. Epson uses this and is a common industry practice...

    Hint, when refilling these machines, there is something that to some degree will replace a resetter. IT IS A MUST HAVE when refilling these machines. Use a tally counter. Something like this. Keep it around both printers. A suggested starting point is around 30 8x10 prints. So if printing a...

    Epson ET8550 - A little pricey but it can go further than you might think.

    3rd and then4th etc. Claria ET and Claria HD is is really the same. Is Chromalife 100 and Chromalife 100+ the same. Please reread. It was done to complete an exercise in what is finally possible. Did you read this? "The ET8550 is an easily refillable machine more capable than you might think...

    Epson ET8550 - A little pricey but it can go further than you might think.

    Not sure, the exercise was an expensive curiosity when I tried to do the same with the Epson R260 - 15 years ago. Like I said in the podcast. 3-4 years ago I succeeded with the Claria equivalent but the lack of a grey channel and the DX head of the 1400/1430 did not provide enough nozzle control...

    Epson ET8550 - A little pricey but it can go further than you might think.

    On May 30, I demonstrated an ET8550 on a carefully prepared Pigment Ink set for archival photos on Jose Rodriguez's youtube podcast. B&W printing using the standard ABW driver with Velvet Fine Art settings gives a slightly warm B&W output. This can be toned out using the provided tools. Keep in...

    Problem printing with Pro-100/PC Inks - Printhead or cartridge issue

    Even when the inks are run commercially there is no problem at all. Until the high standard of the cartridge is not maintained and the printer continues to print. The Canon printhead DEMANDS high standards be maintained at all times. Slippage of that standard will lead to clogs if not caught...

    Precision colors inks

    Disclosure of the problem was sent by PM. It was not meant to be publicly disclosed. The lab can sue for disclosure. But a certain maker of inks well regarded in this forum and recommended by Hat. has nearly literally killed me in the last 4 times in 6 years. Their level of severe human errors...
