    Photo printer for grandkids - suggestions??

    Last Christmas we gave our granddaughters, Audrey (9 yrs old) and Sofia (11yrs old) each a Kodak PIXPRO FZ 43 camera, one in black one in red, plus a AA charger, many NiCad cells, a lens cleaning pen, and 2 pouches to carry the cameras. The kids have really enjoyed the cameras, and have taken...

    Printing transparencies

    Good info! When my R1800 was behaving itself I toyed with the idea of printing big "transparencies" of photos for display. Now that I have a Pro-100 I'll have to try it.

    Ultrasonic cleaner??

    The search results for using an ultrasonic cleaner on Canon heads seem inconclusive. Anyone have recent experiences to share in this area? I've got a little problem with my Pro 100. Thanks in advance!

    Propylene Glycol

    Interesting! I recall reading a piece about the first usages of sulfa drugs. While they were sold IIRC as tablets in the northern US, it seems that syrups were judged to be more marketable in the southern US. Someone noted that the drug would dissolve in ethylene glycol, which has a sweet...

    Cleaning Mac Keyboards

    I heard that perhaps 20 years ago from an IT professional. Never had the guts to try it. Here's a puzzler for all of you. How could you, or could you, salvage a television that had had chicken soup spilled into its innards? This happened to some friends of my parents years ago. The...

    New Pro-100 for $48.00 deal

    Could it be that there isn't any US manufacturer being damaged by what might be considered dumping, unlike situations in the past with steel, for example. Some sort of arcane tax scheme as suggested by Pharmacist is a good possibility.

    Making a printer profile by using your digital camera

    I stand corrected. But without a calibrated monitor many of the benefits of developing profiles are lost.

    Making a printer profile by using your digital camera

    You're thinking of ProfilePrism http://www.ddisoftware.com/prism/ I used it with considerable success with my Epson R 1800. You need a decent flatbed scanner, I used my Epson V700, and of course a properly calibrated monitor. If you follow the link you can learn more.

    Flush Pro 100 head? Flush and dry cart??

    Well, I'm showing some nozzles on the Photo Magenta channel aren't firing properly. So, following the instructions furnished by Canon, I attempted 2 cleaning cycles, then "DEEP CLEANING," which really does suck up the ink, in fact it depleted the Photo Magenta cart. So time to refill with...

    Planning on getting the Pro 10 or Pro 100 ?

    Many, many thanks, CakeHole! PeaZip unpacked the files virtually instantaneously. Impressive! I've printed the three files out, and am ready to go.

    Planning on getting the Pro 10 or Pro 100 ?

    I guess I wasn't clear. I've been able to download the .rar file, but Unzipme, for example, doesn't recognize the file format. Any further suggestions? An unpacker which will handle winrar files? I guess I'll do a google search later when I have the time.

    Planning on getting the Pro 10 or Pro 100 ?

    Thanks for the link to the printer potty instructions for the PRO series. I've downloaded the file but have yet to find a way to expand it. Any suggestions? I'd really like to tackle the PRO 100 installation, before I lose my nerve!
