Great advice here by everyone! I now have 2 OEM cartridge sets that I am rotating and refilling, it is quick, easy and cheap and I am really happy with the results I am getting. I change and refill a complete set once the first cartridge (normally gray) is empty. I am printing up a storm during...

Thanks! Photo actually taken close to a place called Sandwich harbor:D

I have finally managed to empty (mostly) a set of OEM cartridges. I say mostly since some of them still had 2-3ml ink in them. I know it is probably advisable to flush the cartridges but since the Inkowl instructions specifically say you don't have to I thought I would try just refilling. The...

The i1Studio arrived this afternoon. After calibrating the screen on the computer I use for printing I created 4 profiles for papers I have had for a long time but never got great results with. One of them, a heavy matt paper from Red Stone (NOT Red River!) always produced muddy results. With...

Those are pretty much out of camera colors Stratman, the late afternoon sun and reflection from the fog did help. Going back there in May for a mayor photo expedition.

Since 90% of my photography is Landscapes it would be of little value to me to calibrate my cameras, I have not done any studio work for a very long time. I agree that it makes sense to calibrate my scanners. They are mostly used to scan photos/transparencies and negatives for other people...

The printer arrive this afternoon, 2 days earlier than expected but I am not complaining! I did a few quick test prints and I must say I am really happy! Quality is a good as the Pro-1000 (OEM inks in both) and setup was quick and easy. I tested a few papers that matched the included ICC...

Yes, Ebay could be an option! Thanks, will look. I agree on the SpyderPrint system, had one for a while but gave up on it. Thanks, yes, I want to try many different combinations, enjoy experimenting and playing a bit as I have lots of time on my hands since retirement. I love trying different...

Thanks for the interesting and informative posts everyone! The discussion on shipping and the whole USA/EU/Rest of world thing is quite an eye opener. I have now placed an order for ink and a "Chip Resetter" with Inkowl. Depending on the results I get I might try other suppliers. The order did...

Unfortunately the additional cost plus shipping issues kills PC inks for me as well. For now Octoink looks like a good option. Anyone here who has experience with their inks? Inkowl's pricing and shipping would also work but I have found little on the web regarding quality. Thanks for the...

Thanks for the reply! I have tried myUs in the past but the problem is the local postal service, chances are you never receive the parcel (stolen/lost/who knows?), or it takes months. Not worth the the effort. So I have to stick to companies that will ship to South Africa and offer courier...

Thanks Stratman! Yes, I will look at Octoink as well. Sorry, did not realize my location is not showing, will go and change that, I am in South Africa. Merry Christmas, Rudi PS. Just checked, yes, Octoink would be a good option as they offer courier shipping to South Africa, more expensive but...

Hi everyone. I am contemplating getting a Pro-10 for everyday, mostly personal printing. I would like to refill and I have a question on selecting the brand of ink to use. I understand that PC inks seem to be the best but it is not a real option for me as PC does not ship to my location...

Thanks Stratman! Yes, I will post some of my work thanks!

Hi Everyone! I am mostly a landscape and nature photographer from South Africa, I also do bit of motor racing and aviation photography. I used to print most of my own photos till about 10 years ago when I started using a local lab mostly due to a lack of time. I am now recently retired and...
