This works for me when this happens: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=12559450 Also check the level of your inks, when it happens to me I usually have 1 or 2 that are low but not out yet.

What paper are you using for the prints you're selling? Are they framed before you give them to the customer? Do you have a disclaimer about 'all prints fade over time..blah...blah...blah'? If you really don't want the worry of them coming back, then you have to use this paper...

Well one thing that I'm using my inkjet for is making airgun rifle targets. With the wide carriage i9900, I can use heavyweight paper and design targets like this: I then print them on 11x17 or 13x19 and get a lot of shots in without having to get up and change the target. This is what I...

Most of the research I've done on this has always pointed to RotoTrim. When people say that they've had one for 10 years and it cuts like brand new, there must be something there. I haven't made the purchase yet because of the $$ involved, but I'm saving as fast as I can!

This company has 8x10 gloss and satin papers: http://tinyurl.com/3tenu The reason for 8 1/2 x 11? Never really found an answer beyond the manufacturing process (most paper mills are set for the standard sizes, whereas Kodak and their ilk have their own contracts for their special sizes). If...

Here's what you need: http://www.pantone.com/products/products.asp?idSubArea=0&idArea=2&idProduct=321&idArticleType_Products=0 This product worked great on my 17" LCD monitor. Pretty simple, just install the software, plug in the spyder (USB), and attach to the LCD screen. Run through the...

First off start here: http://www.ddisoftware.com/prism/about.htm If it seems a bit too much, you can start with a custom profile done by: http://www.cathysprofiles.com/ But the first thing you need to do is get your monitor calibrated. I use the Pantone ColorPlus model and it seems to be...

Thanks Rob! Looks good now. Tyson

My post used to have 2 pictures showing, now just red x's. The pictures still exist, and are at the exact same url. I tried to redo the url and it made no difference. Has something changed recently? The thread in question: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26 The pictures in...

The pricing here isn't too bad: http://tinyurl.com/6au3l I initially used Canon Paper as well, the pro is very good. But I tried some other papers and settled on Red River Polar Gloss/Satin: http://tinyurl.com/6wq8u The best paper pricewise is at Costco, namely the Kirkland gloss paper at $18...

I'd start with some sampler packs from Ilford: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=search&Q=&ci=8748 You can see Ilfords specs here along with profile downloads: http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/homeng.html Their papers are well regarded, especially the pearl...

The Wausau paper does say inkjet guarented: http://www.wausaupapers.com/products/Products.aspx?ID=16 So you should be okay. 250 sheets for $9 is a steal. Tyson

Red River has some thinner papers, including several card stocks: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/sbproject/buscards.htm That's assuming you will be cutting your own. You can get a sample pack that is pretty complete for about $15 dollars. If you can do 13x19, it would be pretty cost effective...

Ilford's website has profiles and instructions on how to use them: http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/prod_html/galerie/ijprofiles/default.asp In Qimage, you need to select the correct profile for the paper you're working on after you install it. Qimage will not profile your printer, but...

Nice tip, the caulk even comes in clear. I'll have to remember this if I go the syringe route, thanks! Tyson Schettig

That's the main reason I went for Qimage ["]www.ddisoftware.com], but you could try this: Change the settings in the print driver by going to control panel, printers and opening the properties for it. Then change the settings appropriatly (M -7 in your case, along with anything else). This will...

After looking at my options for profiling my i960 and i9900, I decided to do it myself with Profile Prism from www.ddisoftware.com. For $79, you get the software, two targets, and great customer service. This software will allow you to profile your scanner, printer, monitor, and camera. Before...

Surprising, I really thought that 50/50 would be orange. The magenta must be very strong, a lot stronger than I thought. Looks like you're good to go with number 6. Tyson

I'm thinking 3.5 cc/ml or so. Tyson

Almost, the last one in the first row looks like more yellow than magenta making a weak orange color. Based on my drop theory, it would be 12 drops Y to 10 M. Tyson
