    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    @Methodical I use primarily Photoshop CS5/6 or the resurrected Lightzone for editing. @Roy Sletcher, thanks very much for your input. I borrowed a ColorMunki from a friend as my Asus VW266H was very difficult out of the box to set up. However my friend moved to the east coast and I no longer...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Nah, I think I will wait to see how others are faring with firmware 1.1 and refilling before I upgrade. New photos that I've printed only the Pro-100 (and not on the Pro9000ii) are coming out pretty close to what I'm seeing on my monitor. Still a tad warm though. I've been very busy with...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Thanks Al, I wish I could just upgrade to 1.04. But that seems like the mystery firmware that was never released for public download. I'm anxious about going all the way up to 1.1.

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Hi, I think I am experiencing a problem with magenta printing properly on my 9000mkII. This perhaps would account for the greenish tint to my prints (?). I suppose it started acting up slowly so I didn't notice at first. I performed several cleanings (normal and deep) and I did a auto then...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Hi, I'm not used to scanning prints. The scan both exaggerates and dulls at the same time. However you should still be able to see the differences. You can see my original photo on my website. My Qimage workflow on these prints is exactly the same except for using different 9000 and 100 icc...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Here's the frontier image from the Pro-100 after 24 hours drying time. Printed with Qimage using sRGB color space on Luster paper with corresponding icc. Not much has changed it still looks warm in my eyes. The bottom line for me is, prints that I have sold in the past and that clients like...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Okay, thanks for all the input. I'll use the frontier image and repost. The scanning did exaggerate the colors too. I'm using Qimage to print. My monitor was profiled about a year ago with borrowed equipment. I'm sure it's shifted a little since then but with the Pro9000 I am getting prints...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    I did more testing and the 9000ii is beating the Pro100 hands down. The Pro100 has an odd warm overtone especially on black and white images. Again, there is like a whitish film over the prints and they are much less contrasty. Using Canon's Photo Pro Luster paper I printed up the 'Printing...

    Hi, thanks for the responses, nozzle check indicates I'm at firmware 1.030. I'll do some further prints and report back...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Hi, not to stir up a hornet's nest but after setting up my Pro-100 I'm disappointed. I've had a Pro9000ii for several years and it prints exactly the way I like with rich, vibrant prints. I get very close to what I see on my monitor. I bought the Pro-100 because it was so cheap with the rebate...

    can cd print tray B or K be used with Pro9000II?

    Thanks Mr. Hat, for the reply and the part number. I have a Pro-100 but I don't want to start using it until we get resettable chips. I hope they're coming soon!

    Trade Canon 'B' cd printer tray for 'E' style

    Hi, anyone need a Canon 'B' style printer tray and have an unused 'E' style they like to swap? I'd like to print on my Pro9000mkII. Thanks.

    Which semi-gloss works best with the Pro9000 Mk.II?

    I have great results with Ilford's Premium Pearl. I've shown it to friends and family and they've been dazzled by it.

    what happened to canon's fine art variety pack?

    As soon as I get my pro9000mkII the 13x19 variety pack paper disappears. Anyone know where I can find some? I really wanted to try the Photo Rag and Museum Etching papers. Thanks.
