    New printhead Canon QY6-0049-000 € 15.00

    Hi Palombian, I don't know if you speak french or dutch or both, but looking at the add it states "Suite à panne définitive et à changement de matériel" which means the printer from which is was pulled was deemed defective and replaced. Just thought I'd point it out since sometimes a defective...

    OK here it is! It works!

    Joe, those are really really great results. I had to buy a pack to play around with it... 9x12 is on sale here in my area for 6.59$ CDN. I'll try it with dye and pigment (when I receive my next toy).

    WTB: used six color Epson printer to experiment with pigment inks

    Hi everyone. I wanted to experiment a bit using pigment inks but I don't want to take the plunge right away on an expensive printer. I was wondering if anyone had a used six color epson (R200,R220,R260 or even wide like 1400) they would be willing to part with on the cheap? I had a 1280 at some...

    creating an image optimized profile in ArgyllCMS - stunning results!

    Just to add to this, you don't need a spectro or anything special to try this.. it would work with a manufacturer profile. I assume it woudl work better with a custom profile, but it's easy and fun to experiment. All you are doing here is applying image specific changes to an existing profile to...

    creating an image optimized profile in ArgyllCMS - stunning results!

    Last December, Ben Goran posted a perl script for linux in the ArgyllCMS mailing list. It's used to analyse the actual colors used in an image and then see how it compares to the image's profile (sRGB/AdobeRGB) and the printer profile. Once it's done it's thing, it creates an image specific ICC...

    ILFORD PAPER

    I love that on the link to photopaperdirect.c*m they state: "Ilford has been associated with digital imaging since 1879" Digital? In 1879?

    Using ArgyllCMS to Produce Scanner Profiles

    I've had good luck just using Argyll and a standard IT8 target. Way less complicated than a custom target. All the instructions for doing so are on the Argyll website http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/Scenarios.html#PS1 IT8s can be purchased online for not much money for those that don't own a...

    Cool trick! How to do nozzle checks as a scheduled task

    Maybe, just maybe you could setup a second printer using the raw/generic driver (see here h**p://qzindustries.com/TutorialRawWin). Have it connect to the same port as your Primera Bravo, and share the raw printer instead. Send the spool information gathered from the main printer to the raw printer.

    ip4500 ubuntu directcd print alignment

    Turboprint is another option.... you basically setup a template as a square page (I think it had to be 14x14cm with 1cm border). The turboprint driver then figures out the true placement. As long as the driver supports your printer you never have to fiddle with your template even if you change...

    ip4500 ubuntu directcd print alignment

    Hi, I dont have my ip4500 anymore, but for a long time I used GLABELS for printing to a disc. When you print a CD, you need to tell the driver you are using A4 paper (not 8.5x11). First, install glabels (sudo apt-get install glabels). Second, create a file called "Canon Direct CD_Hub.template"...

    Can you try running the batch file as administrator? (right click on the file, select "run as administrator").

    Good Quality A4 Plain Paper Brands For Inkjet Printing

    Just out of curiosity, is there a North American equivalent to that paper? I think here Xerox is distributed by Domtar... the product line seems very different.

    Compare STS & OEM ink

    I think the reds are a little bit more saturated in the OEM print. The OEM grays seems to be a tiny bit more neutral. I'm sure the STS ink would look just as good if not better than OEM with a custom profile.

    Propylene Glycol

    I wouldn't recommend ecigs if you're not smoking anything.. why put something in your body that doesn't belong there? But if you are still stuck on tobacco, it's a great tool to quit. Anyways, sorry for steering this thread off topic :)

    Propylene Glycol

    The reason your pharmacist freaked out is that some people use PG to make liquid used in e-cigarettes. Here in Canada, typically pharmacists will look at your strangely, then order it for you lol. Plumbing supply stores may have it too, as it can be used as an anti-freeze. It can also be used...

    Dye ink in Epson Expression XP-310

    I've done this with my workforce pro WP-4090 and other printers in the past. It should be safe

    Oh-oh. CD printer?

    I no longer have a CD printer, but on the canon IP4500, Turboprint worked quite well. I used Glabels with a custom template I built that would print exactly in the right spot for the tray this printer uses. The official Turboprint documentation suggests sending a 14x14cm square with a 1cm margin...
