I don't know if Photoshop Elements supports ICC profiles, but if it does, then you most likely have a problem with either double profiling or a corrupted profile in Elements. Try printing the same photos using a different application, i.e. Easy Photo Print that comes with the printer or an...
Since the problem is with multiple printers and inks, you can rule out hardware. Two possibilities come to mind. The first is the software you use for printing. What program(s) are being used? And, does the problem occur with more than one program. The other thought is your printer driver. Did...
The optical sensor may not be defective. Be sure to check that it isn't covered with ink or paper which would prevent it from detecting a low or out of ink condition.
I wish that I could be more help with the double profiling issue, but other than what I've seen on message boards which can be searched by using Google, that's all I know about the subject. Do a Google search for double profiling and you should get quite a few hits. I believe there are also...
The other thing to consider about an overly magenta cast is the possibility of double profiling if you are using an ICC aware application such as Photoshop or Qimage.
I haven't seen any double sided paper as heavy as you require. If the menu's are going to actually be used at the tables (as opposed to using them as handouts) they will be subect to quite a bit of moisture and can easily be damaged. Both from a cost and durability standpoint, you may find it...
I've used a fairly wide assortment of inks and cartridges over the past several years and most were very acceptable. I've never experienced any problems with clogging and for the most part the color match was identical to or almost identical to Canon. Alotofthings sells ArrowJet cartridges, but...
This may be too elementary to even ask, but did the refiller use any tape to cover over the vent holes? Did you make sure there isn't any blockage of the vents? Also, remove the cartridge from the printhead and while holding it over a sink or paper towel, squeeze the sides of the tank. You...
Sounds like paper slippage. To confirm this, attach a sheet of plain paper to the back of the photo paper so that about 3 inches of plain paper extends past the end of the photo paper.
The driver is only set up for the two papers you mentioned and there isn't a way of changing those without rewriting the driver code. Have you tried using either of the two paper settings with your matte paper? By adjusting colors and intensities you should be able to achieve a satisfactory result.
It doesn't seem to me that you have a defective print head. Even though the nozzle check appears to show the correct colors, it looks like one of the cartridges (most likely magenta) may have an ink flow problem. Have you tried using different ink tanks?
Example3 and example4 clearly show that print head alignment is way off. Have you tried both automatic and manual print head alignment procedures? This could also be the result of ink or grease on the timing strip film. Very carefully clean the strip with ethanol.
The word 'PUSH' is printed there just as an additional instruction for someone installing the ink cartridge. You push on it to seat the cartridge in the print head assembly.
I'm a little confused by the photo. Since it is shown as a landscape photo, the vertical line would actually be horizontal and if so, it looks like a clogged print head nozzle. The alternating bands are a little strange, but they almost appear to be roller marks. The HP Photo paper is a...
With my i950 I could print between 45 to 50 full bleed 8.5x11's before getting the first low ink warning and with my iP4000 it's around 40 to 45. When the low ink warning pops up, there is still quite a bit of ink remaining in the sponge which would allow for additional printing if I chose not...
You are seeing rust from the screw. When I used metal screws prior to switching over to nylon I also got the sediment which was quite visible in the yellow cartridges. It doesn't hurt anything since the sponge will filter out any sediment long before it gets to the print head.
This could bring up some interesting legal questions, especially in the US, since the use of OEM only supplies cannot be mandated by the manufacturer. Nor can usage of third party supplies be used as the basis for denial of service unless the failure can be directly attributable to the supplies...
Have you tried the procedure used for the iP4000? I believe that the reset sequence is identical to the iP5000. Here's a link to a free service manual download where you can get an iP4000 service manual. http://fileshare.eshop.bg/index.php?what=search2
