Hey guys, I just started printing not too long ago. Had a few prints made on Harman by Hannemuhle papers - the Cotton Matte Smooth and the Baryta papers. They warp significantly as I've kept them in a drawer to dry/stabilize. RH here is probably 80% on average... anyway to resolve the warping of...

I went to take a quick glance, it shows that fumed silica was used. I don't think that's easy to get where I'm at. Probably is too advanced for DIY papers, or at least for me. I just bought a small bottle of cooking gelatin (because Singapore have the lousiest range of art supplies and even if...

Hey guys, anyone tried to DIY coat their papers? I've always wondered if it was possible and I went to the local art stores for water color supplies. Turns out the humble gelatin is used for "sizing" water color papers, to reduce paint penetration and spreading... Sound's like it'd work in a...

cool, didn't think of that... I'll probably get it in my 2nd shipment. wish i had read the forum more before I ordered, would've gotten it packed with the other inks

Hi Rod, yea I've read that thread. But I don't think I will be getting a 2nd printer for dedicated GO printing yet. I was wondering if anyone tried paint it on with rollers like varnishes. Any success with such primitive method? :)

:weee

:D Great to be part of this! I think its awesome that we've such an interesting community here and we all come from various places. I have a question about 3rd party inks actually. Are the inks here really archival to similar standards as OEM inks? I'm thinking about printing on Harman papers...

Hi everyone! I'm Grey from Singapore. It's a small island country in Asia (not China) and I'm a photographer + undergraduate in the local university (: I've recently just started printing as part of my new workflow due to a great deal from a local shop. I got myself a 9500 II for about 530USD...

Great, thanks! (: Maybe I'll order a small bottle and do the hobo way i.e. paint roller it. I just got a 9500mk2, don't have the luxury of having a dedicated GO printer. (:

Hey The Hat, any updates on printing GO and overprinting it with the image? I just bought some 450gsm cold pressed water colour paper to experiment on my 9500mk2, the texture works great but the ink coverage was not so good. I was thinking of painting GO over it as the print coating before I...

Great! thanks, I'll try it out next week or something. Probably try to cut my Savage Wide Tone backdrop and feed into it. Haha I was hoping someone have hacked into the firmware or something to go beyond even the 19" length. 14x19 sounds excellent though (: Cheerios

Hi, I'm new to this forum and to new to my rather old model printer, Canon 9500 mk2. I'm aware that typical :cool: reviews claim that the 9500 mk2 can't print larger than 14"x17" or 13"x19", I was wondering if any fine folks here have overcame that limitation. It'll be damn badass to print 14"...

I just bought a 9500 mk2 3 days ago from a local shop in Singapore. Came with a ton of free paper. So far the Lucia ink works great, can't wait for the I.S. ink kit to arrive (:!
