Thank you @PeterBJ. I will try this.

So glad that I'm starting to print more... It's making me a better photographer.

So, if I understand this correctly the PC and C should be the same color, shade, intensity, etc. as each other and the M and PM should be the same. Is that correct? Under a bright daylight balanced light PC seems more saturated than C, but M and PM look the same.

I love your practicality, Joe . Do you think I need to do the black and grey ones though? I'm probably going to do what you suggest, I'm just curious.

Oh boy! What a great learning moment . Assuming it is a problem with magenta cartridges, what's the best way to fix the problem?

I checked that all of the cartridges were in the correct locations and they are. Of course, it's possible that I topped up one of the cartridges with the wrong ink... but I don't think I will have done that - I have been very careful. But hard to tell, right?

Here is the scan of the nozzle check. I printed it on plain paper on the Pro-100 and then scanned it using my MP980. Please let me know if I need to upload anything else. Thanks, everyone for the help.

I've done the nozzle check printing on plane paper and everything looks normal. I did a deep clean just to be sure. Here's what interesting: When I print out the reference image from digitaldog on matt photo paper but select the paper type as plain paper the image looks great - no color cast...

I have refilled all of my OEM cartridges using Precision Color (PC) inks. Produced around 30 13x19 images and the colors were great. Before I refilled any cartridges I did print out several reference images from digitaldog.net so I always had a sample of what the colors were like prior to using...

Using LR I create a B&W image. I then printed it twice using the following settings: 1. Profile: RR UPSatin 4.0 CanPro-100 When the XPS Preview came up I checked that the Media Type was set to Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss (as per the Red River recommendations) and then clicked Print 2. Profile...

This is helpful... I have a two Dell U2410 Also colour I'll try resetting to factory defaults...

I'm not hard headed... Just a lot for me to take in... I'm getting there though and will try and do as you advise... BTW looking forward to getting my PC inks soon!

As per my original post, I have my monitor calibrated using a Spyder 3. I am using the supplied Spyder Elite 3 software. Is this not a suitable device to calibrate my monitor with. My Gamma is set to 2.2, white point at 6500k and brightness at 80, but I then have to reduce the monitor brightness...

I'm using Canon Photo Paper Plus Gloss II and Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi Gloss. Although I did reference B&W in my first everything is still valid for color.

I do clip sometimes - depends on what kind image I'm producing. Yep - my images are still a little dark... not much though. I think i"m dialing it in. I am aware of the brightness control and have used that in the past, but would prefer to get it right without using a kludge.

I've calibrated as you suggest but still have to reduce my screen brightness to zero. My contrast is at 50%. Getting closer, but still a tad darker on the prints. I'm currently doing some tests using Print Studio Pro and printing from LR. Here's what I get (at least as best as I can describe)...

Oh yeah - the histogram is my friend! I always set a white and black point. I go pure black in just a few small areas but back off just a tad in the whites.

I have just purchased a Pro-100... love it! Jose Rodriguez's YouTube channel is really informative. I have my monitor calibrated using a Spyder 3, however, my B&W prints are coming out darker than the monitor. I'm guessing this is a common problem and I know there's going to be a standard link...
