    Pro-100 Cyan lines :(

    I'm getting lines on a Nozzle Check on the Cyan print head only. HELP! I've tried a Deep Cleaning and a Print Head Alignment: Page 1: Page 2: So, I'm asking what should I try next? I haven't tried a Bottom Plate Cleaning nor a Roller Cleaning. The Pro-100 is new. I've used up the setup...

    PC Ink Intensity -15

    @mikling may know the answer to this question for my Pro-100. Why must I set Intensity to -15 using Precision Colors' ink vs Canon? Here's the setting I'm referring to: Print dialog box -> Properties -> Main tab -> Color/Intensity -> Set -> Color Adjustment tab -> Intensity: -15. I'm not sure...

    Always this messy?

    Two questions: 1. Did I overfill my cartridges? 2. What is the best way to adjust for Precision Colors' ink being a bit darker? I just ran out of the original Canon ink from my new Pro-100 and went to swap out all the carts with the ones I refilled with PC ink. I really didn't think I would...

    Profiling excursion

    I rented a Colormunki pro to see if it could help with my setup. Which is: - Epson WF-3620 - Precision Colors DuraBrite inks - Red River papers Overall: Yes, it worked well (for my eyes). Even with OEM inks it seemed to print a bit on the cyan side. With Red River profiles and PC inks it...

    Mixing Canon and Precision Colors inks?

    The strategy that I'm most comfortable with, as explained by @jtoolman, is to swap out all ink cartridges once just one becomes low. This reduces the number of cleaning cycles run by the printer whenever even just one ink cartridge is replaced. For purposes of this discussion, "first carts"...

    Do CLI-42 Cartridges need to be pristine white?

    I'm in the process of flushing the used CLI-42 carts I bought from luckff off eBay and am having a difficult time getting the sponges pristine white as compared to the completely cleaned and dried yellow cart included in Precision Colors' 16oz Squezy Deluxe Refill Kit. I'm hoping the yellow...

    Questions about refilling Pro-100 carts: fading over time?

    Having become a fan of refilling the carts on my ix6520, and soon will be refilling those on my recently acquired ip4300, I'm now turning a jaundiced eye to how much I'm spending to feed my Pro-100. I like the Chromalife 100+ ink/Canon paper combination for their ability to stand up under...

    Pro-10 blend Precision Colors and OEM

    Hi; My new Canon pima pro 10 is nearing a few empty tanks. Recently I bought the PGI-72 refill kit from Precision Colors. I calibrate my monitor using a data color spider, and am careful to use the correct icc profiles for my monitor and for each paper type. I have gotten acceptable, and...

    Precision Colors XP-310 cartridge resets, but shows almost empty

    I've been using PC inks & carts for over a year now and really love them, especially the EV6 ink in my Artisan 1430! I think I have a broken or defective cart (black) for my cheapee XP-310. Got the "cartridge not recognized" message, so I topped off everything (all carts were nearly full...
