This is great. Thanks everyone for the information :). I’m learning.

That’s great, thank you for the lengthy response. To be clear, it was my first time using that cleaner. The cart with the desaturated top sponge is one I received flushed from PC and have never done my own flushing on it. The CLI-42 cart that i flushed is a third cart I had kicking around...

And I apparently can’t read as the bottle does say dilute before use but I’m not seeing what the ratio is

See the attached pic. The cart at the back is a CLI-42 that I flushed with LA Awesome and it came out looking pristine white and the sponges look quite saturated after filling (with the exception of a small spot bottom left). This led me to wonder if my workflow is wrong. The cart at the front...

Yes of course there are options but Red River has so many amazing papers and sizes to choose from. I’m like a kid on Christmas when I visit their website ;) Not to mention their prices are very good and is close after exchange and shipping so if I could lower that shipping cost it would be a...

... try and break it?

Anyone have advice on reducing shipping costs from the US for papers. Specifically I’ve been looking at Red River Paper. I order their sample packs over the holidays and it came in at over 80$ CDN after taxes, exchange and shipping. Over a third of that was shipping costs. Just curious if...

Thanks. Great to hear. I was disappointed that they stopped selling the premium matte.

I tend to be over cautious till I have a better understanding of things but 9 years lol that’s crazy!!

No I don’t remember the specific videos perse sorry. Thanks for all the advice.

Now that you ask I guess it’s been 1 person to say it a few times in his videos. Jose Rodriguez. That said I think still a trustworthy source :)

Thank you for the quick reply. I guess my concern was more since I’ve hesrd multiple times about not trusting the inks beyond 6 to 8 months. I think I am using best practices for storing the ink (on a covered shelf in a walk in closet... light exposure is limited)

This may seem like an odd question (cause I definitely can’t find an answer to this anywhere), but I have some squeezy bottles of PC inks (for a Canon Pro-100) that are nearing 9 months old which I realize is hovering around that danger zone for dye based inks. I’ve order new ink from PC, but...

Does anyone have any experience with this paper? I enjoyed the Supreme line of papers in the past but the matte does not seem to be available anymore, at least in Canada. It’s currently on sale 2 for 1 and will probably give it a try but curious to know others’ opinions. Thanks.

Thanks. I had tried that, tried a few times actually and turning the connector over and things like holding down the power button longer (maybe there was some hard reset function). Anyways, i was just about to come update. I ended up unplugging everything and leaving it sit for an hour or...
