    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    Yeah - Have those options on the radar for when sufficiently motivated to follow through. Should really be no problem as I visit the New England States a few time each year and have a son and his family living in Connecticut. Meticulously comply with border protocols. Most times it is a...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    Yes. I have a US accommodation address in sleepy Ogdensburg, NY. (As do many Canadians) The problem is that paying with a Canadian domiciled credit card. On a couple of occasions I have called the Canon US 800 number to take advantage of the discounted offers (Not rebates). All goes well and...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    Craving The Hats indulgence for one final comment. Pretty please! Yes the word is "giclée", and for the truly pretentious inkjet printmaker it is important NOT to miss the accent on the first e. Short definition: Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY or /dʒiːˈkleɪ/) is a neologism coined in 1991 by...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    From what I have heard it is very difficult for a NON US resident to take advantage of the rebate and if you want to try it certainly is not for the faint hearted. I live 45 minutes from the upper NY state and still cannot find a Canadian who has successfully taken advantage of the rebate. I am...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    As an Engineer and a man of facts and figures you know this, how? Agreed, but once the picture emerges as colourant on a substrate it is judged by the world of visual art. Not numbers or engineering standards. We have yet to see any visual artist, photographer, or art dealer describe their...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    As a final comment and In keeping with my earlier statement that the Epson Pro-3880 could exceed the adobeRGB1988 colour space gamut in certain areas. Below is a simple gamut map illustrating this. The coloured area is from an Epson 3880 printing on to Ilford Gold Fibre Silk, with OEM ink with...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    Don't pay too much attention to a lot of the misinformation and blatantly erroneous data on the internet, especially some of the Youtube videos. Unless you have researched their source and veracity. Speaking of which - Search "Jose Rodriguez" on You tube - include the word "printers" to get the...

    Pro-100 Print Performance Anxiety

    Welcome to the compulsive obsessive world of printing. Remember optimal viewing distance is given as approximately the image diagonal x1.5. Or there-abouts. Not the length of your nose plus 3mm. Puts some of the perceived faults in perspective. Liked you image of the female model, but could...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    Hi Gutta, Please, please believe me that I am not in any way impugning your understanding and intelligence. I am not that smart myself so it would be very shortsighted for me to take that approach. We all learn from each other based on factual data and evidence based outcomes. It is to our...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    Just a few random comments based on the content of some messages on this thread. Not sure of the end game for "Berserk's" questions, and it may be more a communication issue: You seem to be asking for a champagne solution with a beer budget. If your intent is high end colour reproduction...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    Probably better than, "It's complicated". :) Don't want to set myself up as an expert. I am far from one. Just that I was using PS in the Mid 90's when Adobe introduced Colour Mangement and caused brains to explode over the entire user base. Was an event to behold. Since then I have more or...

    What color space does the 3880 really cover?

    esee I will resist my normal impulse to weigh in with a 10,000-word response. I can hear The Hat's sigh of relief from 6,000 Km away. :) You have presented a range of somewhat imprecise questions that would require more space than available here to answer and in most cases, the answer would...

    Backup Systems

    What goes around comes around. In the 1970's Bill Gates and his upstart friends were the heroes. Microsoft Corp was going to save the world and big bad bloated IBM was the enemy. Fast forward 50 years and "Big Blue" has slunk off to the Fortune 500 world, and now big bad bloated MS corp is the...

    Any interest in a simple Photo thread?

    No just Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. The Catalogue in Light-Room confuses me. Feel free to play with the image if you like. - Uploaded file is a reasonable size unless PK reformate to a smaller format. I also agree this thread should be separate from POW - Posters can make their choice...

    Backup Systems

    Control Panel in Win 10 seems to have many legacy functions left over from Win 7, or so message box headers seem to indicate. I don't know enough about software engineering to comment on the practice, but it can be disconcerting for the user to see subroutines in Win 10 labeled with Win 7...

    Any interest in a simple Photo thread?

    Strange isn't I much prefer your image. Now you make me feel a bit of a fraud. Not a lot of creativity in my pic. The model dresses according to an agreed theme. All you need is access to a studio and a couple of strobes. Take enough shots and you get lucky. Photographically speaking that is...

    For those seriously interested in the properties of inkjet papers, the site of Dutch Master Printer Ernst Dinkla contains a wealth of information including the spectral plots of over 700 different inkjet media types. A veritable treasure trove of valuable information on the subject...

    Good to know Jose. Looking forward to the information as it becomes available. We all owe you and Mike a debt of gratitude for the info you share. Quick aside Jose. Some time ago when you showed us a pic of your herd. Either this or some other site. I showed it to my wife hoping to get some...

    Haven't contributed much lately, but have been very interested in Mikling's comments on the Canon IPF1000. Looking down the pike, and in a coup[le of years will probably need a replacement for my Epson 3880. Front runners currently are the Epson p800 if the refill issue is resolved, or the...
