Hi!
Because I did not know.
I am not a printer, and previously only printed when a magazine ordered something for publication (before the Internet allowed images).
Anyway, for now, my yellow toned prints have become almost normal.
OK.
Because the printer is unknown to me ....
I ran a print test .... and PM failed.
The procedure for cleaning the print head was followed.
"Turn off machine, then turn it on. You may need service".
Now it seems to work.
Yellow images from yesterday, now appear closer to the original.
Hope...
In case anyone is interested, or has an answer .... here is a small print of the same image. Everything OK. No errors on any size paper since the problem above.
Following up on my previous post ... additional update ...
I decided to print another A2-sized photograph, also captured on film and scanned, utilizing the same printing setup and parameters.
Despite featuring a blue section similar to the problematic print, this new print emerged flawlessly...
Hi,
I recently acquired a Canon Pro 1000 printer. For the most part, it's been doing a commendable job, but I've recently encountered a puzzling issue that has left me scratching my head.
Up until now, I've had no trouble with small prints.
Ten A2 prints have been relatively problem-free...
RE Epson did a step function improvement for the lightfastness of the HD inks vs. the K3 inks, but Canon went the opposite way
My question is .... If Epson OEM pigment inks are longer lasting than Canon, can I put them in my Pro-1000?
Or ... phrased another way ... are Epson colours the same...

Since you have to flush a lot of OEM ink before refilling it with 3th party (at least if you want the colors right, that's what you bought this thing for), and the ink alone is about what you paid for the printer, why would you do this ?
There is not much OEM ink in it. Maybe it is empty...
Interesting.
To make sense of the numbers, this image provides a visual, and compares 355 x 584 (Canon 9500) with 432 x 610mm (Canon Pro 1000).

Margins are fine for me, as I need a bit of space around the image.

Lets see how long it takes for me to break it...
Almost the same size.
Presuming my paper length is 61cm (24 inch).
(Prints will be sized to fit 61cm/24 inch and whatever the width variable is depending on printer).
Sample below is a visual indicating the difference between 35.5cm width (as you state above) for the 9500 (top), and 43cm for...
Ahhh ... that makes me feel better (if you are correct).
This is what caused the panic (presumably the info is wrong) ...

Despite being an A3+ (329 x 483 mm) printer, the driver actually supports a paper size of 431.8 x 558.8 mm, which is almost A2 size. So, if you have a roll of paper...
You are correct, and I am a bit stupid because i own (if not stolen .... likely in Greece, because the country is knee deep in thieves) both a Canon 9500 plus the model before it ... maybe a 9000.
The reason I feel stupid today is because I know the Canon 9500 is an A3+ printer, and now I think...
RE - A2 format is only slightly larger than the maximum paper size a PRO-9500 ... can handle
Yes, paper size is not significantly larger than A3+ (ill do
Agree. Will test and confirm anyway. If printed photo is put outside for a month without protection, this may provide an indication of what to expect under nicer conditions.
I've read about the yellow, and wonder why they are unable to get it right.
A useful test would be to examine yellow...
Ink Stained Fingers wrote (on another page) - not aware of any relevant information about the performance of 3rd party pigment inks - all those Inktec - precisioncolors - Conecolors etc inks
Lack of information leads to guesswork.
Ink suppliers unable / unwilling to test their own products...
ADD .... Concern about longevity, fading.
In 1990 I purchased some of the first digital imaging equipment in the world.
The fastest computer speed at that time was 25 (compared to around 3000 today), and the largest hard drive available was 400mb (Megabytes).
My math may be rusty, but that...
Hi, The reason for asking is to seek info.
My opinion is the Korean ink factory is likely to produce a good product (why wouldn’t they?)
It seems to me, this 3rd party ink is fine (on the intended paper).
Two people have noted bronzing on glossy paper (of no concern to me, but maybe of...
Yes, that’s what I understand, and convenient to reduce the number of cartridges required.
Therefore, it seems the 3rd party pigment might be OK (when used with Matte paper), but we do not yet have fading stats (and the distributor didn’t seem to have any, and wasn’t interested in supplying ink...
