All nozzles are firing. Probably to Canon specs. Nothing more, nothing less. Probably safe to proceed with printing images without frying the print-head. What is your interpretation?

An intriguing situation. To summarise: I am reading PaloDolphins comments as being completely credible. He is an experienced and competent photographer and printmaker and he describes his problem using objective and relevant terminology. On the other hand I, and many others, have used the...

Most of the double profiling cases I have read about seem to result in a magenta or red colour cast although I guess results could be variable. It seems to be a very commonly reported error and easily made without being obvious in the various printer settings. rs

To be sure we are making a valid comparison I Am assuming you have the same TIF and JPG standard files printed using both Canon and PC inks. If so, I too would be interested in the reason. I will not be back home until the end of the month when I will duplicate this test on my Pro100. Since...

THis could be complicated because you are weighing the cart+ink in the sponge and the result could be distorted by differing sponge retention rates. My sponges when new. IE freshly purged, and refilled seem to have more sponge content, than older cartridges that have been refilled many times...

Hard to argue with solutions that work. More valid than all the theory. Hopefully your solution will work globally with all your images. What you may find is that your solution is specific to the values of your current image, and may not apply globally to future images with different colour...

Hmmm - it should calibrate AND make an ICC profile which it prompts you to name. It then stashes the profile in the appropriate directory or folder. My suggestion is to incorporate the current date into that name. Every time your system boots it will access and make active that profile. Your...

The fact that you perceive this as solely a light dark issue without any obvious colour casts or distortions means you are very very close to an accurate reproduction. Although I am not certain it is safe to base it on a single non standardised image. My opinion based on ZERO EVIDENCE OR FACTS...

I am of the opinion that we sometimes read too much into a simple knowledge check, and then with a good nozzle check blithely continue printing with a false sense of security. A nozzle check on a Canon printer is absolutely vital to tell you that you can now proceed to print without IMMEDIATELY...

This is a tough one to comment on because without knowing exactly what you are seeing, any outside comments could be more of a hindrance than a help, and send you off on a tangent not related to your problem. Suffice to say the ICC colour management system DOES work as described FOR THE MOST...

This site is in UK and very current. The owner is active on other colour printing sites and seems very helpful and knowledgeable. I have not purchased his profiles, but have him bookmarked as a potential supplier if ever I should. http://www.colourphil.co.uk/profiling.shtml rs

My two cents based on several years refilling my Pro 100. Feel free to ignore, quibble, or reject to your hearts content 1. Did I overfill my cartridges? Probably. The Canon OEM cartridge has a lot of subtle engineering and design features that are not obvious. Particularly in the method of...

I read somewhere that some airlines have tentatively decided to continue with a human in the cockpit to reassure the passengers. Even though he will not be trained or allowed to touch anything. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your drone captain speaking....." rs

Consider me fully simmered, and the issue fully clarified. :( Incidentally I never post or comment for agreement. "The facts Ma'am, just the facts". In my defense, my response was predicated on the fact that your reply was posted 30 minutes after mine and followed it in the thread sequence...

My 2 cents personal opinion. Maybe we should not be confusing Corporate Market Speak with technical facts. In this field the colour technicians and engineers will be more concerned with colorimetry and data from spectral plots than with fancy multi language adjectives. Marketing people abhor...

You are misrepresenting what I wrote, and changing the OP's original question. I will accept this is "ON ME" for not being clear. So here we go again: The original question was, "how often, if ever, does a printer need to have profiles done? Assuming ink formulations, paper formulations, don't...

Here is a cheap lazyman's approach. Simple and quick if you feel you are happy with the current output. 1: Print a standard reference image. (Suggest the Outback image) on your paper of choice using your current preferred profile. 2: File it in a dark place. If at any future time you suspect...

...about the same as being struck by lightning twice on the same day! At least that is what I tell my wife, usually a sane financial professional, when she squanders $10 (Ten whole bucks) on lottery tickets. :) Grist for another topic, rs

Decent-sized is subject to interpretation. I produce many 14 x 18 up to 14 x 21 canvas wraps on my Epson 3880. Same size as P800. Admittedly the stretcher bars are 1¼" instead of 1 3/4". But at the above sizes it all seems aesthetically proportional. In fact the few I have produced using the...

As I don't use his inks it is probably a moot point. The first ReDsetters for the CLI-42 carts were supplied by Octoinkjet. I received one from his inaugural shipment and was probably its first adopter in North America. I was using PC inks and vividly recall running into clogging problems with...
