    ip4500 ubuntu directcd print alignment

    With my HP I just have to do the adjustment. I print from LibreOffice, and I have a template with fudged margins built in. I can now rely on alignment within a slop of a millimeter or so. (With LibreOffice you can easily produce text or graphics.) With previous versions of Ubuntu, it was so...

    ENDED - Winner Announced - Official PrinterKnowledge Picture Contest #2

    Yes, that's stunning in stereo. I've never viewed such large photos unaided in stereo before. It never occurred to me that you can view them cross-eyed. Since these photos are arranged for cross-eyed viewing, I guess that also means that you have to view them unaided--that you can't use a...

    ENDED - Winner Announced - Official PrinterKnowledge Picture Contest #2

    Joe, do you have an awful lot of wall space in your house, or are you printing these photos for other people? Just wondering. :)

    ENDED - Winner Announced - Official PrinterKnowledge Picture Contest #2

    I see what appear to be some CFLs. You may want to replace them with LEDs to reduce the UV.

    Chromalife 100+ inks in old 100 carts?

    Peter D, that's interesting. I think you're onto something. I've also experienced severe fading in a nice, clean, fairly unpolluted living room 1500 miles from the coast, sealed in a CD jewel case. Streaking indicated that it was light, and very dim light at that. I thought the culprit was...

    HP cartridge weights

    Those are pretty much in line with what I have. The only thing is their K564XL, which they fill to only 14 mL. I routinely load the older cartridges with 30 g! I have one record of adding over 36g. I don't think the cartridge has physically changed size. Unless they added a baffle, then...

    HP cartridge weights

    I looked, and it turns out that I do have some data for non-XL that I forgot about. Gross weights are full, new. Capacities are calculated from new - empty weight when the monitor says it's empty. (I don't have a date on these -- maybe 2 to 4 years ago. I think they are the new style with...

    HP cartridge weights

    They have changed with time. Here's what I have for the most recent 564XL's, new as received, with vent opened and outlet port cover removed: M564XL: 25.36 g PK564XL: 24.17 g

    Time for a rethink on the use of refillable compatible for Canon..

    :) ...both of which are mistakes I have made, so I knew the symptoms right away.

    Time for a rethink on the use of refillable compatible for Canon..

    That's a beautiful, artistic print, Smudger. Is that how you got your screen name? :) Looks like maybe it's printed on the wrong side of the paper?

    recap/update on my two dead MP830s - 2 hour surgery, all are doing fine

    If you're ever in the states, you can stop by my place. :) It's a small country.

    Fine Art Archival Printing

    Yeah, your prints are supposed to be 300 pixels per inch, ideally.

    Fine Art Archival Printing

    While I'm not paying the bill, £563 for a professional printer that's going to produce art prints for sale doesn't sound bad to me. I paid $400 for a laser printer maybe 20 years ago, and all it does it print B&W text.

    Are Dye inks better than Pigment inks on Gloss Paper ?

    I have had severe fading that I never anticipated. And it's one thing if you have just an occasional picture on the wall, but often it's not at all practical to reprint. Just what do you do when it's all those CD covers on the rack, or that art print you sold that they want to leave in their...

    Recommendations for me to Purchase a New All-in-One Printer in $200 Range

    Well, I was fond of the Canon MX922, and you may still be able to find one new. I have never owned one, but it has four things going for it: (1) a sheet feeder; (2) Precision Colors supports it (and other Canons) with third-party cartridges that should make the printer extremely easy to...

    Fine Art Archival Printing

    A serious artist. I love it. If I am not mistaken, a big selling point will be archival properties. Some things come to mind. First, you might want to view the light fading tests that have been done: http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/ . There's another professional site that also does that...

    The paper is jammed!

    I think I know what's wrong, The Hat. I can reply to other messages in my mailbox, but not that one. I'm going to guess that the other person has left the conversation, so no reply is possible. Still, I would expect the reply button to be grayed out instead of missing. But I see now that...

    Printing transparencies

    I'm not so sure how opaque pigment ink is. I saw some Pro-10 or Pro-1 prints on metallic paper, and they seemed amazingly transparent. I think that will look great on silver CDs!

    The paper is jammed!

    Telv, if in doubt, follow Canon's directions, I guess. I can't reply to your PM, because the "Reply" button seems to be missing. Moderators: Hint hint.

    The paper is jammed!

    Of course it stops, but that doesn't mean you can turn it without risking damage. The directions for printers I have seen tell you not to do this. Unfortunately, they don't exactly put the directions where anyone could possibly find them. :(
