I'm a newbie, just got an iP8720. I did some searching the forum for an answer, but I may have missed it 1) About how long does a slow blinking cart take before it switches to fast? 2) and how long does the cart's fast blink take? 3) Say my computer's cyan cart is on the slow blink phase...

Thanks, The Hat, appreciate your response. I'll try your table salt method (both ways!). As for kind of ink, if it was black I'm quite sure it was pigment ink. If red, it would have to be dye. Care to comment on how to treat the two kinds of ink? Thank you!

We just had some new windows installed, and I believe the interior wood is finished in polyurethane. I spilled some red computer ink on it, about a couple of inches by a quarter inch. The ink seeped in right away into the wood. Might the rug spilllage technique described here work on wood? I...

Thanks, PeterBJ, I've always wondered about this.

Here's a link: http://quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html

I'm sure there are members who can explain QTR better than I do. QTR stands for QuadToneRip, and some would call it a printer utility but I think it's more sophisticated than that. It uses a carbon ink in an essentially distilled water and glycerine base. Since carbon ink is too warm for some...

I've used QTR for years, with carbon ink. Been very happy with the results. When I tried to use iP8720 ink with QTR I ran into a block: I couldn't fill in the blank on QTR's "Printing Model", although I did fill in the preceding blank marked simply "name", filled it in with "Canon iP8700...

Thank you, Peter and The Hat, I appreciate your efforts. I was continuing the search too, and discovered there's a hidden code at the top of the text, actually a pair of codes. Turns out they were rather dated, something like 2008. So I updated those codes wth this year's date: 2022. That seemed...

This question could also fit with my Epson printer so I hope I'm in the right place. The problem is that the cards don't maintain their position... as you go down the page, the carts overlap more and more. As many of you know, an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet usually fits ten business cards to a page, two...

For years I used a pigment ink, aka Eboni, a carbon ink. For paper I used Premier Art, a Fine Art mat paper, with excellent results. I consider it a photo paper because it's for my b/w photos. I've come to raise this question: can we consider that a "photo paper" is only a gloss paper? I just...

PS: In that link there's mention of Image Specialists. This is amazing, aren't they related to inksupply.com?! Are they back in business? They hit some hard times some years ago. That was where I got my feet wet in digital printing, with a $99 Epson printer and a single cartridge setup. We were...

Thanks much, PeterBJ, looks like I'm on a similar track. How affirming to see the same page from the driver I was looking at. And your link was right on... maybe I should move my question over there (no offense here!). BTW, I agree, that the "software is part of the printer driver". I may not...

I'm new to the Canon world of printing b/w. I've been using 6 cartridges, 5 variations of Eboni black, and 1 toner. Today I printed an iron truss bridge (lots of black and dark rusty red!) with my new Canon Pixma iP8720 using EZink. I was quite happy with the results except for the tone of the...

And likewise to you, PeterB and The Hat as well! (hope I didn't leave anyone out!) Paul

That Signia link contained some excellent source material... for example "hyperacusis" , the ailment that had me mystified.

"recruitment" I could make a kinda guess, but "hyperacusis" is out of my range! This thread has turned out quite well, thanks all! Paul

Oops.. make that PeterBJ

I have a pretty good audiologist (sp?)... I need to tell her about this episode! And as for "hyperacusis" - that's a new one for me. As for phones... if I understand my setup, I'm on phones most of the time. But it's time now for a checkup. Thanks for your positive outlook on this post...

stratman, I found the answer myself! It's my hearing aid! I'm still learning how to use it... it turns out that my settings were not well adjusted. On a hunch, I removed the ear pieces and this made a sizable difference. Earlier PeterPJ had suggested I upload a video clip and I think I can...

A video sounds like an excellent idea, but I'd have to say I'm not up to that skill myself. Thanks for thinking of me!
