Thank you @The Hat Are you saying PGI-9 black cart contains encapsulated black for photo papers and PGI-7 black is non encapsulated 'matte' black for matte surfaces? Does it use PGI-7 black for matte papers? Also, I could never understand how this printer applies its clear optimiser - I've...

Hello fellow printing geeks I'm considering buying a used Canon iX7000 printer for printing advertising material on glossy and satin photo papers and wanted to ask you, present and past owners of these printers, if they produce decent enough photo output on these surfaces? Do they have an...

This is a very good question and the one I actually asked Jon Cone in January this year. He said something very interesting (which will be very useful to anyone who dilutes these stable dye inks out there to get lighter colors). He said that they had this idea of expanding their 6 ink set to 8...

@Ink stained Fingers What sort of paper do you use for your testing? Is is plain office paper? Also would like to share some info I got from Jon Cone a couple of months ago when I discussed with him his InkThrift CL ink, which, similar to Epson's Claria ink, is advanced encapsulated dye ink. I...

Very interesting thread. Got me at first interested in the L range of Epson printers, even checked prices for them on ebay. We don't have the L's in Australia - only all-in-ones, which I don't like since they are bulky and nothing that handles A3. Anyway L1300 on eBay goes for ~$750AU - the...
