Normally you would need a hardware device to measure your monitor's response and create your profile for you. But those usually start at around 100$ which you might not want to spend. There is a method on the cheap that while way far than perfect is better than leaving your monitor at the...

When I fill up brand "new" (flushed and never refilled), I leave the air vent uncovered after filling and let them sit for a week. During that time, tthe ink level in the chamber will go down, slowly migrating to the sponge. After a week, I remove the plug and top off the cart. This is just for...

I just sent you a PM. I have a set of these inks. The printer is dead so the ink bottles are yours if you're willing to pay for the shipping only. The ink was from inkjetcarts.us, known to be a good vendor.

A quick question for pharmacist.. I have 99% isopropanol and pure glycerin that my wife uses to make home made "clear" soap. Seems close enough to propylene glycol... do you think it would work? I have a couple of bone dry PGI-5 i'd like to condition before I try filling thanks

Hi everyone, I recently had an interesting discussion with TheHat regarding what types of paper he uses for photos and other material and one of the hints he gave me was to look in the direction of papers destined to the digital printing business. Where I live these types of paper are extremely...

The Kirkland paper performs well above it's price point. Here in Quebec, it's only available in 8.5x11 but maybe you'll find 4x6 where you are. What printer are you using? edit: I just had a look at the staples flyer for next week (starts tomorrow), they'll have 2 for 1 deals on HP or Epson...

Have you tried Costco for glossy paper? 150 sheets 8.5x11 for 20$ Also, Staples often have "buy 1, get 1" type of deals... A couple of weeks ago, I got two 50 packs (8.5x11 again) of Epson Premium Heavyweight matte paper for 17$, the canon matte paper was 15$ for 2 packs. For ink, Precision...

How are you refilling your ink cartridges? It could be that some air bubbles.. usually a quick clean or printing a few purge pattern pages fixes the issue. I'm guessing that's what happened because everything went back to normal after a while. Another question... are you happy with the...

You said that now everything is back to normal? If this happens again, try a quick nozzle check. this almost looks as if one of the colors was not firing.

They seem to have pretty good deals (they claim 50% off), and I think someone here might have mentioned them before. A lot of stuff seems to be sold out, but some nice items are left. I won't be ordering there myself because their shipping prices to Canada are a bit outrageous. Could be...

I usually purge in the sink via the refill hole (top fill) until the sponge is as white as possible... To dry it, I just blow with my mouth overthe refill hole. Like the hat mentionned, it's as effective as a small compressor, just a bit "low tech". I leave the carts to dry for 24 hours.. when...

Question everyone, I have the profiles ready. What would be the best way to post this on the forum? I have three ZIP files of about 4 megs each

For your R220 and your R300, I would just go with this http://www.precisioncolors.com/E6aref.html I tried the MIS/Inksupply carts a long time ago when I still had my R220. I didn't like them. At least didn't like the ones I had at the time. The plugs were fuzzy to pull out for a refill and...

I also have a 1280. It doesn't see as much use, mainly used to print from Autocad to larger paper so for this one I opted for compatible cartridges. Inksupply.com is a good choice. Their ink is good quality, but a bit costly. An alternative would be buying ink from Precision Colors. Mikling will...

Some monitors are better than other out of the box . You were lucky to get one of the good ones :) My last two monitors were absolutely terrible without calibration. That being said, the quick Gamma app is certainly much, much better option than not using anything at all. I started out the...

Oh, I was just mentioning that Relative in this particular case would have been a better match to the original. That being said, these test images often have a lot of colors out of printer gamut, which can cause a shift of certain colors in perceptual

barlf2, I used Perceptual rendering for that photo. Relative Colorimetric would have been a bit closer to the original for this one and more saturated, but 99% of what I print, I do with Perceptual rendering. It never occured to me Relative Colorimetric would have been better with this one.

that is a GREAT idea.. very important you ask the lab to do "no adjustments" on the picture. Most will do automatic adjustements like contrast, levels, etc. With a lab printed picture, you will at least have a basis to sort out your monitor, then your prints.

inkjetcarts seems to have ink specific to this printer http://store.inkjetcarts.us/brother-lc900-refill-inks-p5119.aspx

I'm from Canada if you need a US to UK translator ;)
