    CLI-42 cart electronic chips

    Ok, I have confirmed what you all have said about the electronic chips on carts being color specific. I had several different flushed carts with chips and tried to swap those one at a time into a different color slot in the printer. In all but one time the printer accepted them without a...

    CLI-42 cart electronic chips

    That's a very good explanation mikling and it is something that I would have expected to happen based on what jtoolman said. I was quite surprised when nothing happened and the check printer status showed the ink status as it normally would appear with a correct color ink cart.. Out of...

    CLI-42 cart electronic chips

    I took an empty flushed Cyan Cart and inserted it into the magenta slot in the pro-100 printer. I expected i would see some kind of error message after I closed the lid. No message popped up. I did a ink status check in the my printer software and it seemed to recognize the cart as a magenta...

    CLI-42 cart electronic chips

    I am curious if the electronics chips are specific to ink colors or are they interchangeable between different color carts. To me this would be good to know if you had a chip failure on a cart, but had a good chip on a different color cart to replace it. I am using a canon 100 pro

    flushing CLI-42 carts

    Ok, reading the reply about the Pharmacist formula I am left to ask what purpose it serves in the cart flushing process when the ink has previously been flushed and cleaned with distilled water? I do see some of the sponges in my distilled water flushed carts still have a light tinge of color...

    question about icc profiles for non oem ink

    Thanks toolman . You are correct it is a hidden factor. I called Precision Colors today and talked to Mike. He is quite a guy and spent much time guiding through the lightroom ICC setup. What you say here was one of the things I learned. It turns out that my lightroom ICC setup had been wrong...

    question about icc profiles for non oem ink

    thanks for your reply. I don't have a custom profile that accommodates both the paper and ink. I use lightroom which I assume manages the printer. However it uses the canon pro luster profile which leads me back to my question.

    Pixma Pro 100 print problem

    My printer problem is resolved. Initially I had magenta vertical stripes through my prints and the nozzle check confirmed that the magenta color had problems. I followed the advice of the hat earlier in this thread. I did a methodical cleaning soaking for 24 hours, dumped the water and repeated...

    Pixma Pro 100 print problem

    That's very interesting and informative Joe. Maybe it would be a good idea to wipe the squeeze bottle metal tube with alcohol before each refill. In my case the ink was less than a year old and I have just switched over to the new PC inks. I am hopeful as to what you describe is not my problem...
