Hi everyone- I started getting an E141-4046 error message on my IPF9400 - this happens when the purge unit rotation counter reaches 50000. Is there anyway to reset this error while I wait for the new purge unit to arrive ?

I plan on using the canon inks and not refillable.

It really is. I hate throwing things out and I have lots of ink left for it. I wanted to use it to print high gloss on pictorico... How does the pro-200 compare?

I meant BK, I confused the black channel with my epson. The printer doesn't give any errors. Just a completely blank bk channel.

I am trying to revive my old Pro9000 that has a completely missing/blank MK channel. I tried a new cartridge and went through the head cleaning process detailed in another thread - nothing. I also tried cleaning the contacts - nothing. Is it worth trying one of the refurbished heads from eBay...

No. It would not.

Unfortunately the book and album paper is not available in a roll.

I'm printing single pages. I would rather create folios and sew them together but because of the panoramic format I can't find a paper wide enough.

Thank you :-)

I printed with Piezography inks but I would still use the varnish with OEM. The paper is a very smooth rag so some ink stays on the paper surface. When you glue the cover the book needs to be put in a press which puts a lot of pressure on the pages. Opening and flipping through pages also has a...

You should definately use a varnish like hahnemuhle protective spray to set the inks, this will prevent them from marking the facing pages. It's invisible and has no effect on the handling of the book. But do it before assembly.

I used Hahnemuhle Book and Album for my hand bound photobook and the results are phenomenal. It's short grained the pages are soft and turn smoothly like a high end photobook published by nazraeli press.

Can you check the printer monitor utility and see what error code is being given?

Oh I didn't realize i1Profiler gave you the D directly - I use a colormunki and colormunkiPhoto only gives Luminance values. I thought you might have found an alternative to Bruce Lindbloom's companding calculator. 12.5 is really black for PhotoRag 308. The latest epson inks are very close in...

I'm getting L=12.5 for the cone ukhd inks on PhotoRag 308. What are you using to convert L to density?

Hi Joe, I contacted Jon Cone and he will be sending me a test print using my image and a gray test strip - I'll let you know the results :) I've read about all the horror stories of clogged print heads on the 9890, can I safely switch between dye and pigment inks ? Paul

Hi Joe, Thanks for replying. I've heard great things about the PRO-100 but I'm making 40" prints and had to go with one of the wide printers. I didn't realize Pigment inks were so drab in comparison... So how does the ink thift compare to the oem pigment inks (Ultrachrome K3 with VM) ? Are you...

Hi all, I've been spoiled by my excellent Canon pro9000 (v1) for the last 5 years and completely underwhelmed by the print density achievable with my new Epson 9890. I mostly print matte black and white (in color mode) and I can make a truly stunning print on the Canon with Hahnemuhle Photo...
