I surprised no one has answered these questions so I will have a try. I'm a digital artist looking at buying an A3+ art printer for my art. My art is highly detailed with lots of subtle shading. You can see it at veritysvisions . com if you need. Do you think it could manage the subtle shading...

Thanks for the steer. I'm presently reminding myself of the work flow/s used and one issue may be that the application QuadtoneRip is not compatible with any of the EcoTank printers. I may be leaning more towards the P700 or gulp the P900 but need to confirm that its possible to refill them...

Bump! I use to print using a Epson 1400/1500 printing loaded with Paul Roarks Carbon Inks. This was some time ago as the printer eventually died and I was unable to find a replacement. If you use an all carbon inkset then you can only print on matt papers, these include not only the normal...

Yes as it exercises all the inks. S

I second The Hat's recommendation of OctoInks. The price is an order of magnitude cheaper than OEM. While the ink is not the same quality as OEM how could it be? However, it is close and as Martin of Octoinks has written 3rd party inks have made many advances in the past decade. My Pro-10s...

I believe the following also applies to Sonoma and possibly Monterey. When printing colour charts as part of the creation of an ICC profile it is important that the printer driver does not apply any colour management. I believe that Epson drivers have an option of "No colour management"...

Canon replied saying send the printer in for service, I responded that I just wanted a new print head and had been told that a new supplier was being appointed. Here is the latest email from Canon: " Dear Knight, Thank you for your request and for contacting Canon. Thank you for your reply...

In his collection called "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" T.S. Eliot wrote : "The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES." Now it transpires that...

Your post prompted me to phone Canon. I was told that it was not possible to buy a new print head but that someone from the relevant department will contact me. So the answer is looking like no. S

I seek guidance as to the correct settings to make in the printer driver when printing test patches. I'm using an X-rite i1-Studio which is now supported by Calibrite. I am trying to confirm that I am not printing the patches with any colour correct made by the driver. Calibrite FAQs have the...

# Ink Stained Fingers . Does such a review result in the 3D colour space graphs that you often include in your reports of ink performance ? If so how do I produce similar and then interpret them? I've added this question to my list of questions to research. Answering my own question : Apple...

#GordW Thank you. As I wrote in my mentioned in my original post I have been using Octoinks for the past few years and have several full sets of cartridges. I also have an i-One Studio profiler that seems to work o.k. so my current plan is to print some reference prints using OEM inks having...

Good point, now you mention it I remember being told this a few weeks ago, I really must pay more attention!

First it may be useful to know my printing history. I have decided to re-start printing photos especially monochrome images. In the past I have used Canon, Hewlett-Packard and Epson printers often changing machines in an attempt to get neutral monochrome prints. Five or six years ago I had...

Hi, I would suggest printing a nozzle check followed by a head alignment. Both are found in the Canon printer utility application. Also, my own Pro-10 has just suffered a print head failure where the grey ink stopped working. My printer refused to fully switch on and pulsed a code using the...

Thanks for the information. I think I will wait and see if Canon manage to appoint a new spares supplier in the next few weeks. Otherwise I'll have to start looking for a replacement printer. best wishes S

I believe that I have burnt out the print head in my Canon Pro-10s so need to purchase a new one. Canon spares use to be available from CRC Tasktron Ltd but they have gone into liquidation. I phoned Canon support and have been told that they hope to appoint a new parts supplier in the "next...

Hi, My Canon Pro-10s has just failed with the LEDs alternate pulsing. The amber led pulses ten times then pauses then repeats. Looking on line this suggests a B200 error. Canon's web site advises "switch off and unplug" - Thanks Canon! The recent history is as follows : switched on this...

Hi, I would like to check my understanding with reference to creating ICC profiles with OctoInks or similar on the Pro-10. The problem : 1) Mono prints on matt paper look better when printed using the matt black ink, however, the Pro-10 only uses matt black ink when fine art paper is selected...

Hi all, I thought I would share the reply I have just had from Canon UK re Lack of support code number 6910: "Thank you for your query, your query has been escalated to the high level of technical support. I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing issues with your printer, please accept my...
