LOVE how you completely ignored the budget and recommended pigments and color calibration for a scrapbook. LOVE how you ignored the cost benefit of inktanks and doubled down claiming my opinion, actually the only one in budget, was completely and totally worthless. If they're going to print...

This is a public forum, everyone deserves to be treated with respect, there is no excuse otherwise. People with a budget of $800 asking for a printer don't need to get slammed with a ton of questions and infodumped about processes that cost $1500, and then get recommended the most expensive...

Seriously? This jerk is a mod? OP wanted to print 12" on a budget. $1000 CAD, or $800 USD. Unlike your suggestion to use pigment inks, pigment printers, and color calibration, which costs double, I recommended a printer that saves them money. Not archival, but gets the job done, and with the...

Here's a photo of my printing/cutting/drawing/weeding workspace!

Yes! I've printed stock Epson dyes on Polar Gloss Metallic paper (Epson Artisan 810), which has an incredible coat, and even after 9 years I haven't noticed much fading. Most people equate dyes to cheap CMYK printers and uncoated copy paper, but dyes can work a lot better with the right printer...

Whoa, dude. I may have joined only a couple weeks ago, but I've been printing for decades, in personal and professional capacity. And I've used all sorts of different printers, lasers, inkjets, wide-format plotters, etc. I did the same research you did on RRP's website before posting, but I...

I don't think the OP needed quite this much info... they just needed a decent wide format printer for their scrapbook. The Canon Pixma Pro 200 is beautiful, but Epson ET-8550 would save more on ink in the long run. Both are dye photo printers with great colors, but neither are perfect. If you...

The important thing is the printer has at least 12" page width. Most printers above letter size will go to 13" to support 13x19 prints, but you can enter any custom sized paper and it will print at least a standard photo crop with some borders. I don't think you need borderless support for...

I use Joyeza Premium Printable vinyl sticker paper. The glossy option personally, but they carry a matte version as well. I was thoroughly impressed by the coloring and coating of the gloss, it came out really nice and feels really well protected. Only problem, it costs around 50 cents per...

I have acquired a Martin Yale business card cutter to make business card prints at home... only to find out there is no coated glossy coated inkjet cover paper on the market. Plenty of matte options which look terrible with dyes, plenty of papers that work well with laser, but the paper I...

I've always had incredible success with RRP's profiles, and I've never had any issues like this. I think the issues here were mainly because the colors used SWOP/CMYK settings while the document format itself was, hilariously, RGB/8. And I was trying to print straight vector without...

Welp, found the problem. Selected CMYK color models throughout, and SWOP, while the overall color settings were RGB/8-bit 🙃 Imma get back to y'all once I take a good long nap.

I disabled the printer profile colors, set the appropriate profile from the app, used RRP's recommended settings (custom quality level 2, highest), and printed on both the Epson WF XP 830 and the Canon imageProGraf 1000. The colors were messed up on both. I'm not sure what's causing that issue...

And... furthermore... the printer has arrived TODAY! I'm looking forward to trying it out!

From Red River Paper themselves!: ________________________________________________________ My gut reaction is that you'll like it just fine. Both the PRO-1000 inks and Polar Gloss Metallic are sophisticated tech. Pigment inks "laying on top" of paper was definitely a thing in the past but not...

This process seems very involved... I have a DataColor SpyderX Pro and DisplayCal for monitor calibration. I'd need a new package meant for that... but that is good to know it exists! I'd be able to calibrate any paper I want to! Thanks!

Hm, good to know. I inherited a monochrome Brother printer from someone who didn't use it, but it is failing to print anything. I think it's missing a gear in the feed mechanism. Might try to get that thing repaired one more time...

Before you laugh... hear me out. I needed a good economical printer to print inserts, invoices, and shipping labels, which required a larger size. And for business cards/volume prints, I didn't want to waste ink from the expensive printer. Plus, as much as I love my WF-830 scanner, the higher...

Yeah, I printed an 8x8 test sheet dye, I'll try it with the Canon. Hm... you don't foresee any issues using a dye ink in a pigment printer? I don't know how to create ICC profiles myself, I think this option would require a lot more than what I know. It was actually the PD office for the...
