Thanks to Joe (jtoolman) and The Hat I indeed 100% revived my PRO-1. Your particular problem is that the ink has very likely dried up in the silicon tubes ! As your friend had removed the cartridges... These tubes run from the cartridges to the printhead. So now what to do ? Dismantle the...

During the driver installation my Epson printer was not detected on the network (in Windows 10 x64). What one needs to do is: - Install EpsonNet Config (I found it in the Download section of my printer page). - Go to Configuration after selecting your printer (that is oddly detected here, but...

Hello, Did anyone try ultra wide gamut inks from American Inkjet Systems ? http://www.americaninkjetsystems2.com/ They produce inks for Epson printers, and some other wide format printers. I plan to refill the Epson 4900. I wonder if I can get very accurate colors with these inks, if I make...

Well I managed to unclog it 100% ! I saw that doing nozzle checks every couple days, without doing anything else, showed gradual improvement. So I soaked a paper towel with the pharmacist solution, and put it under the print head for hours (without removing the print head from the printer)...

@mikling This is the new inkset I believe, I bought it this summer from you. Here is a gamut comparison of your inks VS OEM. If I did print just photographs on glossy papers I guess that I'd use PrecisionColors inks for the price; but there is a bigger difference on plain paper (I use...

After leaving the print head overnight in Pharmacist's solution, there was no improvement. The mistake that I made, is that I should have had filled a SquEasyFill with Pharmacist's solution and injected it through the ink entry holes. Shaked and removed the liquids, and repeat till there's no...

Hi, do you need the chips ? I just found them ! I can send them to you as a gift if you need them :) Thank you Jose, I did see your videos; finally I will use OEM carts on my PRO-1, as I didn't get good results with PrecisionColors on my PRO-10... even with i1 Publish Pro 2...

Thank you very much to both ! You are the most prominent experts on printers :p By the way, one must close where the paper comes in and out on the printer, or the procedure is without effect. Before removing the printhead I did run a nozzle check between each deep cleaning in the driver, hope...

I bought these 3 years ago ! They are thicker than OEM ones, so it's a PITA to install them ! I gave up as I had trouble refilling the bag. If I find them I'll send them to you, but don't have much hope !

According to this page in French; it can only normally be made by Canon technicians, as the head/ink tubes system is under pressure: http://blog.eparts.fr/tete-impression-canon-qy6-0081/ Alright, but how to do it oneself ?

Hello, I didn't use my PRO-1 for 3 years, and now some colors are clogged, the worst being PBK. I tried to put some wet toilet paper soaked in the "pharmacist" solution (isopropyl alcohol 20%, ammonia 2%, distilled water), and position the printhead on top many hours, but it is still clogged...

Well dye inks from Aomya are 3.80 USD per liter and pigment inks are 17.80 USD per liter (I negociated).

I bought my inks 2 years ago for my MG7150 (same inks I think for the MG7550) directly from Aomya in China, the dye inks were 3.80 USD per liter, and the pigment inks were 17.80 USD per liter ! They work perfectly (I use a i1 Pro).

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION ! I tried endless combinations but the problem actually came from i1Profiler, when you print the ColorChecker proof ! When you print the test charts you have to unactivate of course color management, and I thought that at the end of profiling, when you print the...

@Ink stained Fingers Great idea about GamutVision thanks, that's interesting software. @The Hat Thank you very much, I won't go see a shrink then ! You are right on, yes ultimately I will use a profile made with glossy paper, and I will adjust the paper media / ink intensity settings. But I do...

Truth to be told, I didn't have my prints made with Chinese inks exposed to light a long time, anyway that's not the issue there, I use OEM inks with the PRO-1, PRO-10S and PRO-100S. Well what is baffling me, is that I successfully manage to make great profiles for dye based printers, and for...

Thanks to all for your answers, Yes, it's what I will do if I can't find a solution, but that really doesn't sound logical, I'd like to understand the flaw in the process ! And as "Ink stained Fingers" points out, "that may be a visual jugdement, the colors may be balanced, but whether they are...

Hi all, As strange as it sounds, while I can calibrate easily dye based printers, it's a total disaster with pigment based ones ! This happens with PLAIN PAPER, I don't have this issue on glossy paper. And yes, I absolutely need to print on plain, I print on 100g plain paper. I did contact...

Thank you Roy, that's a magnificient idea ! I will contact them. Kind regards.

Hi all ! I own a Canon Pixma PRO-1 but refilling it with non OEM inks is a true nightmare. So I want to buy a printer that is more refilling friendly. I consider buying my inks from Precision Colors, or please advise me an alternative. I hesitate between dye and pigment inks (meaning PRO-100...
