Thanks for the reminder on the yellows carts !! I always appreciate the warnings about these types of things. Something like that can blindside a person and make for a really bad day Solid advice ! That's what makes this a great forum. Thanks Bill

Awesome. I am going to run them down a bit even if it means replacing a black or gray along the way. I printed a few in color last night and they turned out great. Before I got the pro100, I was perfectly happy using the mp610. It did turn out very nice prints. BUT The pro is a big step up...

Ok I'm on board with the method of changing out all the cartridges at the same time to save on ink. I've learned about the yellow OEM cartridge issues and I bought a new one from precision with my first ink kit along with a chip re-setter I won't even attempt to flush the original factory...

A few years back, I had a similar problem with a computer running one of the xp versions and while I was going through the paces doing the ip config to look for reasons why and all that my son suggested it might be the internal battery inside the computer that was failing and then told me to...

My order for OEM ink was "misplaced" for 6 days by the shipping company so I decided to go to a local electronic outlet and just buy it locally. I didn't even put my glasses on when we figured out there were only six and not 8 of the canon cli-42 cartridges I needed. I didn't bother because I...

That's a really great question. I have a real mixture of papers with most of it being printer brand papers Epson Canon and HP and a few from Red River. My plan now is to use up what I have on hand and then pick one or maybe two brands and stick with them in an effort towards consistency. I can...

I only had a few moments to look into the vuescan. So far I've only gotten as far as cnet and I'm thinking I will check out some of the try before you buy software they are offering. I love film !!!!! I hope to have an opportunity at some point to set up the darkroom gear from when my dad...

Thank you Hat for the great information I make myself procedure sheets as a kind of checklist towards being able to produce better printed images. It is an amazing thing to find an old negative and scan it and recognize that the person in the image is my father at about 7 years old riding a...

Thank you ink stained fingers ! Excellent information and again there is so much to think about and I love it. I'm still thinking about your response about converting my temporarily dead mp610 to a gray scale machine. A little of the history of what I'm working on. I inherited a box of...

Greetings once again. I was wondering about getting maximum resolution when printing photos. When I am starting with a scanned negative coming from my epson v550 I can choose up to 6400 dpi I don't mind the time it takes to scan. I then take the scans into photo shop to take care of...

Peter and stratman thank you so much for the help. I've renewed my search for a print head I do remember see more of the QY6-0075 print heads available and I dod see one guy in china was selling the QY60067 print heads that were repaied but only printed black ink. That would be a great option...

Hi Strat man When I examined the backside of the print head the ribbon cable was completely detached from the contactor board and was just hanging there. I can do basic soldering but I don't have a clue about how to re-attach a ribbon cable. I looked on ebay and a replacement from Hong Kong...

Problem over. I took out the print head and the ribbon cable was detached from the electronic connections. It's officially dead I hate that I just got it dialed in too Bill

I was printing some black and whites and trying to find a compromise profile for the H P paper I was using. History of the printer is all factory ink so far. I was printing 8 x 10s and they were looking good but they had a very slight red tone to them. I clicked the print button again and...

Thank you Hat That is great news ! Bill

I got my pro 100 for Christmas AND its a great machine I love it and as usual I do have a couple questions 1st one: Does anyone have an opinion on the photo processing app that came in with the driver ? I want to get the best prints out of the pro 100 as possible. RIght now I use a copy of...

Thank you !! This site has real experts and I appreciate that in a huge way. These replies have given me a lot of good information to work with and think about and think about some more I'm putting a lot of time and effort into this and it does mean a lot to have real bona fide experts that...

I have two canon printers the pro 100 and mp610 but don't have a lot of knowledge about the one canon printer being used to print photos. For years we've used a pixma mp610 for everything from school papers and projects to taxes. Kids have all moved out and it was not seeing much use. I...

I know its not going to be great image but I couldn't pass it up I can't imagine ever getting a very good image but you can see enough to know what it is On a trip to visit in laws in Pennsylvania in the early 80s I saw a greenhouse built using larger glass negatives Out of the hundreds it...

Greetings, Looking for advice on this one ! I have a glass negative from the civil war ( about 4 1/2 x 3 1/4" ) depicting soldiers inspecting the huge craters left after Richmond was shelled. I don't know the complete history of this negative so I have to rely on what the seller told me about...
