Yes, you're right, I must move with the times. My method dates back to the early nineties and it's about time I updated my methodology. Or 'Voila' ;)

@The Hat >> nice job with the cleaning, it will be ok to use the yellow cart once again, and there has been no reports or difficulty mentioned with any of the magenta CLI-42 inks... << Good news on both fronts then, thanks The Hat. @rs >> My experience with the Pro100 has been very good. Now...

@The Hat >> there is a difference, the setup carts that come with the printer, have a problem when they are reset using the Redsetter, you then can’t use Canon My Image Garden till you get a brand new set of carts.. << Oh, well that's alright then, that's one piece of Canon software I never use...

Here's something I've not noticed before: the OE cartridges that come with the PRO-100 are labelled setup cartridges. Why would that be if? As I understand it there is no difference between the original cartridges and subsequent ones. Just a thought ...

I’ve not been re-filling for a while, work and family have been taking up my time and those photos I have been printing on my PRO-100 have been for paying clients so I’ve been using OE Canon inks. The printer has proved faultless and the quality superb during the two years I’ve had it but I’ve...

Thanks for the update Joe.

Hi Joe Just spotted something which doesn't make much sense to me - following your advice I've compared the Canon produced profile with it's ColorMunki 'twin' and the Canon one definitely has a greater volume. However, the Canon produced profile is 456 KB and all my ColorMunki profiles are 2309...

Hi Joe I enjoyed the video, especially the way the icc comparison tool you use compares the two profiles. While it's nice to see the theory the only way I have of comparing the differences is in the print quality itself. Like you I created two different profiles, one using the ColorMunki...

Hi Joe Thanks for this. I am a keen print profiler and, up until now, have always used my Colormunki with the ColorMunki software. Since you, too, have a ColorMunki can you tell me if your results using the Canon profiler are noticeably better than using the ColorMunki software? I've always...

I agree. There's not much point having a good printer then failing to take advantage of what it can do. I have a ColorMunki which makes it really easy and I do this regularly for the papers I use. Makes a huge difference to the quality of the output, especially when using non-OEM inks which...

I'm not sure if you realise that my last message on this was March last year but, fwif, it's academic now. The new printhead suffered from the dreaded PhotoMagenta blockage before too long and I called it a day on the Pro9000II and moved on to the Pro-100 which has been faultless.

That's encouraging. It will be a source of great interest to me to see how long this one lasts and I genuinely hope it's longer than a few months.

Back in 2010, when I bought my Pro 9000, the original head would probably have been the QY6-0055 but I know for a fact that the last two heads were both the 0076 replacements so I'm now wondering, somewhat belatedly, if that's the problem? While the 0076 is listed as a direct replacement for...

Well, I can't accept the faulty ink theory because the first head lasted for three years, my ink supplier has never changed, and others with the same problem are using different inks. I also tend to think the cartridge is not the problem because of the longevity of the first head. This means...

Well, that's what I did back in July and I don't, thus far, regret my decision. In March this year I had exactly the same problem when the PM clogged and I couldn't clear it. This was the second failed head on my Pro9000 II which I bought in 2010. The first head lasted about 3 years, failing...

Andy My last two heads were both QY6-0076. The first head - which came with the printer in 2010 - was presumably the 0055 version and lasted 2½ years.

For what it's worth, when the previous print head failed back in March I set the printer to turn off automatically when I was not using it so in my case the failure of this latest print head is not due to the printer having being left turned on. Also, fwiw, my cartridges are all Canon OEM and...

Interesting - it was the PM that became u/s on the latest printhead I had to replace for my Pro9000 II. It lasted just four months and led to me upgrading to a Pro-100. And it was the PM that was defunct on the previous print head too. Is there a pattern here?

>> A nozzle check is the best known way to use all of the nozzles at once in your print head, (Every colour) so you can tell at a glance if you your heads are clean and clear and ready for use plus it’s the only sure way to run a test print without damaging the print head in any way. << True...

Thanks Roy, yes I was aware, one of the very few disadvantages of this printer.
