The only advise the X-rite website gives me is to consult the printer documentation. Is there anyone here who successfully uses all three of 1) OSX Mavericks, 2)Canon Pixma Pro 9500 printer (or any other canon printer), and 3) X-rite ColorMunki Photo? I would like to know a rout that works...

I recently got my hands on a ColorMunki Photo, which I would like to use for profiling papers for my Pro9500 with Precision Colors Ink. I am having trouble getting a profile on Illford paper that works better than the Canon Semigloss SG1. It seems the printer will not do smooth gradients with my...

That answers the question I had.

On a mac, when you turn on color management in your print program (photoshop), it automatically turns of driver color management and disables color management options in the user interface.

First off, I have absolutely no experience with this; it's just a thought that I got after reading through the thread about resolving bronzing/gloss differential issues with the Pro9500 by replacing the MBK with gloss optimizer. As compared to the 9500, the Pro-10 seems to have substituted the...

So how does the your custom Canon Matte Photo Paper profile compare to the OEM one? Would you mind sharing your profiles?

First off, I am (planning on) printing with Precision Colors ink. I have been experimenting with various media type/profile combinations for printing on cheap matte photo paper. The paper I am using is Canon Matte Photo Paper and Epson Doubleweight Matte. The result I get with the Matte Photo...

Thank you, all, for your help. I have ordered a new print head.

My model is the Pro9500.

So how does one do a service test print?

I have removed it, cleaned it, rubbed the contacts down with an alcohol dampened cloth, and run a deep cleaning cycle. This was all before I even posted on the forum. This was my first suspicion also.

Any idea what caused this? With print heads running $200, is this printer worth repairing? This is a little disappointing, since I just purchased a P.C. Ink set and the redsetter for it.

I recently ran a nozzle check on my pro9500 because I had some concerns about the image quality. Is the half light/half dark patch on the red and magenta colors normal? Can anyone diagnose my problem by looking at the test print? The printer works fine except it doesn't produce accurate colors.
