I'm actually on Windows, but thanks for the info!

Ah, ok yes, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I went ahead and did a print, but the colors seem really off to me, the greens come out aqua, and the cyan comes out cerulean blue. They actually appear better when printed in sRGB. Just want to make sure I have the right print settings. Also, I had to crop it in order to fit on 8.5x11 inch...

Also, I'm assuming I should have Adobe RGB (1998) selected for the colorspace?

When printing these targets in Photoshop with a Canon Pro-10, are these the correct settings? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Photoshop Print Settings: 1) Color Handling: Printer Manages Color Printer Settings: 2) Quick Setup > Media Type: (select correct paper profile) 3)...

Interesting. It's nice to get a closer look at the printhead issue. It seems like in many cases there's little that can be done to recover the heads. In my particular case there was no indication of clogged or dried ink, so I guess that streaks in the prints were from the nozzles wearing out...

In the process of getting rid of my old printer, I disassembled the busted printhead (Canon QY6-0076) and took some photos. I thought it might be fun to share: Curious to get an even closer look, I found this image online (https://baertierchen.de/wb_mai19.html). From my photos, I'm guessing it...

Interesting, I just discovered my traffic performance page: 2 Organic views on eBay 12 Promoted views on eBay 0 Promoted offsite 4 Organic views offsite 18 Views total So I guess the $9 (14%) ad fee paid for the extra 12 promoted views, whether the sale came from that or not.

I haven't sold anything on eBay for a while and the fees were pretty eye opening. $65.00 (sold, buyer's offer) -$0.47 (shipping label fee) -$10.66 (transaction fees) -$9.05 (ad fee) -$20.18 (total fees) 31% Total eBay Fees ------ I've never tried the promotional ad service. Since this was a...

BTW - An update on the printhead orders. I was finally able to get in touch with an eBay rep who assured me that I'll get a full refund from the seller. I also heard back from the local vendor for the 2nd head. He was legit and sent me a return label right away. That still leaves the set of...

Thanks for the tips. I was tempted to order a starter kit from Octoink with an extra set of cartridges, but I think I'm going to stick with Precision Colors because of my location. I do think Octoink's kit looks better though, I like their flush clips. I think I'll be able to achieve something...

Thanks, will do. Would you recommend Precision Color refills or sticking with OEM? I watched a video on refilling PGI-72 cartridges and it looked pretty simple by applying ink through the discharge port. I have a scale I can measure the weight with. I've heard since pigment prints are more...

Alright, I got it! The seller was a really nice older gentleman who was getting rid of his after upgrading to a PRO-300. It was refreshing to finally deal with someone who wasn't trying to jerk me around. He said I could return it if there were any problems, but it looks like he took good care...

I just posted these on eBay for $73.50: (this item has been sold) I originally purchased them from Adorama, March 5th, for $135. https://www.adorama.com/icacli8kit8.html I used the cartridges once to test a replacement printhead for my Canon Pro 9000 Mark II, but the printhead ended up being...

The seller provided this nozzle test. Here's a link to the full res: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JfmCGcYIWZifDOiu8y45Z17BVkqog9cE/view I'm guessing the vertical banding is moire from the scanner, but just wanted to double check with all the bad luck I've been having. I'm pretty excited...

I'm reading through some posts online. From what I understand, the Pro 10 is preferable for refilling with 3rd party pigment inks because 3rd party dye inks are much less lightfast. Are there any suggestions for 3rd party pigment inks? It seems print times for the Pro 10 are a lot slower (x2)...

Ug, I received the second printhead from the local vendor today, and it was another dud. It was a refurbished unit. All the heads were clear except the green channel was busted. Pretty disappointed since this one was $180. Overall it was in better condition than the one from China, but still no...

Yea, I don't know in your case. I was having an issue with DisplayCAL and my older monitor in the initial calibration step. It was giving me some kind of warning about setting the dynamic range to Full (0-255), which I did in the Nvidia Control Panel, but it didn't seem to help and instead had...

This is good to know. I guess refurbished printheads are just wishful thinking.

I finally received the i1Studio the other day. I've had a chance to try it with 3 monitor calibration packages: 1) Calibrite ccStudio 2) ViewSonic Colorbration+ 3) DisplayCAL Out of all three I found ccStudio to be the easiest to use and give the most consistent results between 2 monitors...
