No brainer. As cheap as a new set of carts.

Just ordered the new ink. I will let you know!

My only workflow changes are to print and adjust for skin tones. the other colors don't matter that much for me. Since the ink is inexpensive, I can usually get something acceptable within 3 prints. I will order and try the new inks as I run out of these. Thanks for all of your work on this...

So I made my own profile with an xrite profiler, and it does the same thing, so it looks like the canon profile must be tweaked in a weird way. I have corrected my workflow to make it work!

Ok I tried the d65 profile. Same issue.

Yes. The pro-10. I completely flushed the carts according to Mike's instructions. It's strange that the color shift is there when I use his profiles. I read elsewhere that his profiles are more accurate than the canon profiles, but I can drop an eye dropper and see that there is no red in...

Thanks for that answer on the flushing of the print heads. I can't imagine that the precision colors icm is so far off. I must be doing something wrong. I will try the d65 profile.

So I am using the Precision color inkset. It look pretty good with the Canon profiles on canon luster paper, which is practically free to try. When I use the Precision color d50 icc profile with my calibrated monitor, the deep blues are purple. When I switch back to the Canon profiles the...

Well I at least convinced Red River paper. An email from them: Thanks for the work you’ve done. The profiles are made to work with the Matte Photo Paper media setting which uses the Photo Black ink. Even if you switch to the fine art setting using Matte Black ink, the profile will still not...

That would solve one person's problem. Does not fix the problem for purchasers of third party paper and inks. If you have the hardware to profile, the expertise to profile, the time to profile, the different papers that you might use, separate printers for pk and mk inks, and print enough to...

OK this is an example: I apologize for the subject matter. It is what I was working on. The same image printed three ways. I want to point out three issues that are more clear when the prints are right in front of you. First: The blacks are clearly deeper on both fine art settings. The...

But Canon's paper sure is inexpensive when it is on sale.

YES! This is what I have been trying to communicate unsuccessfully. I am in communications with the red river people for their OEM profiles and I have been on here trying to get Mike's ear before I just call up there and bother him. That's if he thinks it is a problem. Sam

I will try this. If the papers are similar, maybe it is close enough when I am using OEM ink.

Because it does not address my problem. I really don't have a problem with using the fine art setting. I have a problem with the profile using the matte paper setting using photo black ink. Are you guys just making fun of me for my willingness to explain the same thing over and over, or are you...

Nope. Never said that. I said that the fine art setting uses matte black and it is the only setting that uses matte black. The profiles were created using photo black. I want profiles created using matte black.

Why? How does this fix the problem of the profile using the wrong ink? I can get the printer to use matte black ink. I don't need to swap any cartridge to print with matte black. The profile was made using the photo ink so I don't believe it will match when I substitute ink. Should it match...

Yes. Works perfectly. I would assume moab's profiles also work perfectly because they use the fine art setting that uses the matte black. Everyone seems to mis-understand what I am saying which means I am not communicating this properly. The problem is that the creator of the PROFILES use the...

Yes. Canon's profiles work fine. You use the fine art setting. The third party paper and ink folks could also use the fine art setting for matte papers when making their profiles and that would fix the problem. Forget changing inks. That's no solution. The profiles are built to use photo...

I don't have a problem printing with the Matte Black ink with the supplied profile. I can do that easily enough. I want to have a good idea of what is going to come out of the printer before I print. That is the point of using the icc profiles. If I want the profile to be a correct...
