Okay, gentlemen, mystery solved. When going through the profile making process you use a couple of file names. I was confused about where I would give it the name that PS & LR would recognize. The really confusing thing is that the name I had given it, and was looking for, is actually there in...
Okay, I'll try to figure that out. I'm also going to try to get an answer on an Adobe forum. There could be a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Thanks!!
I wanted to report back on how the ArgyllCMS project is going. After a few fits & starts I have been able to make a few profiles. I can't print with them though because they don't show up in LightRoom or Photoshop. They are in the folder with all of the other profiles & I've rebooted etc but...
Okay, so Colorport doesn't actually make a profile? I'm learning. I will look harder at ArgyllCMS. And I really appreciate you prompt & frank replies. I'm checking out you link.
Hello All,
I’ve been using a Colormunki to make profiles for about five years. I print for myself and a few friends. I recently acquired an i1 Pro 2 (Rev E) but it has no software. I contacted X-rite about getting iProfiler and they told me $1350. Ooops! You can buy a brand new i1 Pro 3 for...
Yes, Good luck!! I'm interested in the outcome of this, as I'm right now up to my elbows in replacing/repairing the ink delivery system on a 3800 & a 3880.
Hi All,
I'm trying to get going with piezography on my 3800 but it may be at the end of its life so I picked up a 3880 for almost nothing. It allegedly ran okay until about a year ago but it came with no carts at all. So I need an empty Vivid Magenta and Vivid Light Magenta for the chips. Anyone...
Hello All
My 3800 has for some time had the dreaded black in switching problem where the PK tank drains to empty but the MK works fine. I’ve been printing with it like that for over a year. But now the magenta channel is showing a stubborn clog in two or three ports. I did the usual cleaning...
Hello All,
When I acquired my 9880 I got with it a set of refillable cartridges with a resetter. Only one ever had ink in it. There are no marks on them to say who made them & I'm a little nervous about using them. I have several full or partial OEM carts with bad chips so the printer thinks...
Hi Joe, I just posted about a deep magenta color cast on my 7800. I wonder if you have time to look at the pictures. Have you seen this in an Epson printer before?
Thanks Pkk
Thanks to all for the replies. I agree with the diagnosis but it never hurts to let others look. There's a retired Epson tech in Florida who advertises on ebay. I may seek his advise on repairing it. These things have apparently increased in value since I bought mine 2 years ago.
Hello All,
My 7800 after printing flawlessly for months, suddenly started printing with the deep magenta color cast you see in the picture. It also prints a wide magenta stripe over the nozzle check patterns and over the print below them. See pictures for that too. The colors in the pictures are...
Hello All,
Given the effort the forum put into working on my problem I want to report that I've decided this Pro100 was defective from the start. I have a new one now, courtesy of Canon, & so far it is printing quite well with the same carts filled with Precision Colors ink. Maybe I can get...
Well it won't be much consolation to you but I'm relieved to know that a printer guru is as frusterated as I am with the magenta problem on Canon printers. I've burned through 1 MP 830 & 2 Pro 9000's. I got a Pro 100 last year & immediately had magenta problems. But that turned out to be a...
Yes hello again, The Hat. I did have to pick through my supply of CLI-8 carts to find some that were already reset so several were installed & removed before I got it running again but other that that it was just changing carts. It ran okay for several pages then died. And I did move the head &...
Hello All & Happy New Year!
I have 2 MP 970s that I use for office printing. Just after refilling several carts-which I had trouble doing because my resetter batteries were dead-the printer just went dead like it was unplugged. No lights or noise. So I pulled out the other 970, removed the...
