The real value if you are so inclined in the Pro-1000. It is a true High End printer by any measure and it fits on your desk, provided the desk is sturdy enough. It is an end game printer. ...again provided you want that kind of performance and can afford it. If you are dedicated to the art of...

Keith has now confirmed there is no densitometer and has revised the wording in his article. As such, there is no new feature that stands out to justify the Pro-300 high MSRP. Unless there is another superb feature set which was overlooked, this product might simply just sit on the shelf. Save...

One thing that no one has caught onto as yet is that the Pro-10 has a CO control dialog that is superior to that of the Pro-1000. Perhaps Canon discovered this was too complicated for the vast majority of users. In the Pro-1000. There is only an Auto or Overall choice. In the Pro-10 there is a...

Nobody said this was implemented. Someone did ask was it possible? However it is one possibility of perhaps getting it done without having a resident set of redundant nozzles in waiting. Speculation yes. But maybe Canon has described a feature that in reality is not really what we think. The...

I already described how you can use nozzles that appear to have some redundancy in Jose's podcast. You can have relative/virtual redundancy provided you have enough control in fine steps. Not saying this is done by Canon but it is one way of potentially doing it. Simplistically, imagine a three...

This is certainly interesting and makes you wonder especially the aspect that one of the chosen papers to use in the calibration is Canon Photo Pro Luster. The same paper that Aardenburg found to be not desirable. The calibration values are fixed inside the memory or file. So if printhead and...

If the inks are close enough, it can readjust to reuse OEM ICCs to a degree. Not pefectbut better than no calibration and might be acceptable to the user. Creation of a new ICC is certainly better, but the calibration for an OEM workflow is ideally meant to use OEM products. Unfortunately on my...

Well the functionality of the Calibration is often misunderstood. If you are making your own profiles, would it make a difference? At first it may appear no. The ICC will compensate. And to this you are correct. However suppose you've made ten profiles or even twenty. Great! Now you get a new...

Psycho - is mind related. It is not in the sense as many think because they have not experienced it. Layering is NOT mind related. But the sense is. Obviuously you don't have a system resolving enough. I've tested all the K3 machines in detail. P800, 3880, R2880, P600, R3000. That is how their...

I will attempt to explain why the P800 is visibly superior to the R3000 and to the trained eye, you will know where to look and find it. Prior to your pruchase I had told you that that was one area that the P800 in my tests were visibly superior to the 3880,. Here are my thoughts. I will first...

With my Pro-1000 and to others, with all my aftermarket inks, it passes the self calibration tests and as a result, the OEM profiles and other third party paper profiles can be used on the Pro-1000 with Precision Colors aftermarket inkset. It is within the tolerances of OEM inks and paper drift...

The interesting thing about these tests is that they list paper brands but do not list anything about the batch numbers. This is very significant because despite being the same brand and model of paper, there is no guarantee that the actual paper mill will produce the exact paper a month later...

7 Years ago! https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/epson-xp-600-and-800-series.7932/ To this day, these machines are all targeted by Epson for firmware wars. I simply avoid headaches and simply remove myself from this arena. Not worth the headache of incompatible chips, newer firmware etc...

OK, but what about the ellipsoids towards the center. How do you accurately try to control those shades towards the middle. Try doing that with a pigment ink printer and see what happens with just CMY and a few nozzles and eliminate grain.

https://gqsystems.eu/blog/how-choose-the-right-color-tolerancing-method-for-your-process This is a general idea of why fine art printers tend to focus their efforts towards. Notice the small tolerancing ellispsoids. Now we know why we are sensitive to the BLACKS.

The PB and Red is there for different reason as to why the R1800 used those extended colors. It's not likely what you think actually. It has a lot to do with the BLACK that is now the holy grail. If you stop the use of on Black on Canon Pro-10 and print BLACK, you get nothing when using an OEM...

First droplet size hardly matters anymore. Let's get over that please. Droplet size was used at a time when we did not know better. So let's know better now. Varying droplet size is used by Epson because Epson has a physical limitation as to the amount of nozzles they can use at a time. What is...

If one goal was to virtue signal sustainability, then they would openly state the carryover aspect. That gains a few points from millenials and younger for sure. However, the real reason is that it reduced the cost to introduce a new model. The real sustainable signal would have been to say...."...

The Pro-100 and Pro-10 printheads heralded a new generation of much more reliable printheads. The ones in the CLI-8 and PGI-9 as well as even the Pro-1 were somewhat flaky. I recently had one in ax MX870 220/221 die on me recently while it was printing...it just stopped dead and the B203 came...

OTOH, it sure would reduce costs quite a bit if the same printhead was used. They could even give a new number, and you'd never know. All they need is to reprogram one byte inside the ID number of the printhead and bam.....new printhehad!. Inventorying spare and replacement parts is a big...
