Sigh. Is anyone disputing that? But at a price ratio of 10:1 or more, generics are perfectly good for many users.

In Mike I trust.

Actually, that guy might do quite well. There ARE plenty of third world women wanting that ticket to America or Canada and legal immigrant status. And the perception is - I don't want to start anything, but you know that at least the belief is true - that such women are less likely to be...

Well, sure, there's always a POSSIBLE downside like that. But I figure that Black and Grays are probably the least proprietary or problematic to formulate. As we all know from even the wet color print days to today, magenta is the color that still gives fits to formulators. It's always the...

So I've had my PRO-100 for a month, perhaps. I've printed - this is the scientific standard - a "heck of a lot" of prints. Mostly half sheets color for paper testing, some B&W. Oh, that's letter sized sheets. Perhaps it's only a few dozen color full sized sheets equivalent. True to...

I spent some time poking around on the intertubes trying to find out what Canon WF dye printers used. No hint of any inks being labeled Chromalife, plus or no plus. There were both five and six cartridge systems. What did annoy me is that on what blurb the dye inks were described as...

If you are using a printer for office work and non-critical images, I find nothing wrong with using generic Chinese cartridges, other than the environmental costs involved. You may find your colors just fine, or you may find them a touch off. Depending on paper, of course. I sort of think I...

Pixels are one thing that the average consumer can fixate on and easily compare A to B. It's been asinine for a long time unless you are cropping the bejesus out of an image or you are using "35 mm" to shoot for billboards or a really big wide format printer. But you know the average...

Yeah, I knew a woman who worked in billing for an anesthesiologist. She's seen billing for removal of a table leg and a light bulb. "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time................"

Oh, Lord. Here we go again........... I understand the risk. Each to their own. I've done it for some years w/o issue, maybe I'm smarter than the average bear. And last, it's my (meager) budget.

@guys: Thanks. The info on stopping the monitoring doesn't seem to be in the manual. Not that I couldn't be wrong........ I'm well aware of the danger of running nekkid without monitoring. Did that for many years on several printers. Due to my budget and the high cost of the CLI-42...

"Might be like Chromalife in bottles." Well, that would be sweet. A lot of profiling would be needed.

Well, that UV vs. Ozone see-saw certainly might explain some of the inconsistent results I sometimes get. As I reported about a month ago, the only swellable polymer paper still on the market is HP Everyday. Thin stock, but a shortage of profiles if you aren't using an HP printer, of course...

You know, the old trick of telling the printer, yes, it's OK to continue, I understand the risks and all that. It then takes the ink monitoring out of the way. Does the PRO-100 have that feature? I couldn't find anything in the online manual.

Apples and oranges.

Indeed, Joe, that's how I got started on this. Also a 5 piece sample pack of the Warm Baryta. Got them from Adorama at an attractive price, I think at about what you found. While I found the samples of things like rag, metallic, and baryta interesting, the others were pretty much routine...

The point of the test was to find out if the + ink was better than the "not +". It proved that that is the case.

Well, FYI if you were pondering Inkpress Warm Baryta in 13x19" sizes. Two days ago Adorama had a box of 25 available for $43, free shipping. I went to buy today, not listed. "No longer available." I went to B&H, same thing! Still some out there on eBay and Amazon, but a heck of a lot more...

Ha ha ha! That got a big laugh out of me on this dark, rainy morning! Now that we all are inundated with images everywhere due to ease, lack of cost, and lack of discrimination, there's been a huge loss of craft. "My new $1000 auto-everything DSLR says 'I'm a photographer!' I'm a budding...
