Oh boy, I just figured it out! It's been so long since I printed this test file, I forgot I needed to set the workspace to ProPhoto RGB :/ So the inks are looking much better in the test print. Though the custom profile I made with ccStudio is really off on the greens and purples. And of...

I appreciate the replies. Here's a nozzle check I did yesterday after cleaning the heads. There wasn't any significant difference in the test prints between cleaning.

EDIT: The inks are fine. The test prints were off due to my mistake overlooking the correct colorspace in Photoshop. I bought a Precision Color refill kit for my Canon Pro-10 back in June. I didn't see it right away, because it took some time for the refill inks to work their way through, but I...

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep it in mind. If anyone knows a good source for the QY6-0085 in the US please let me know. The best deal I could find, that looks like a reputable dealer on eBay, is $345.

Ok, very weird fix. I saw a comment on a video that mentioned trying the CD tray door. It's the short flap behind the main catch tray with the Canon logo on it. With the main hood open and printhead exposed, I tried flipping the CD door down, which appears to raise a metal bar at the front of...

My printer just randomly stopped working and it's giving me the dreaded B200 error. I bought it used in March and it was working fine this whole time. If I unplug it for a while and plug it back in, sometimes it will run through the initialization process, but then it quits and flashes the...

I'm actually on Windows, but thanks for the info!

Ah, ok yes, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I went ahead and did a print, but the colors seem really off to me, the greens come out aqua, and the cyan comes out cerulean blue. They actually appear better when printed in sRGB. Just want to make sure I have the right print settings. Also, I had to crop it in order to fit on 8.5x11 inch...

Also, I'm assuming I should have Adobe RGB (1998) selected for the colorspace?

When printing these targets in Photoshop with a Canon Pro-10, are these the correct settings? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Photoshop Print Settings: 1) Color Handling: Printer Manages Color Printer Settings: 2) Quick Setup > Media Type: (select correct paper profile) 3)...

Interesting. It's nice to get a closer look at the printhead issue. It seems like in many cases there's little that can be done to recover the heads. In my particular case there was no indication of clogged or dried ink, so I guess that streaks in the prints were from the nozzles wearing out...

In the process of getting rid of my old printer, I disassembled the busted printhead (Canon QY6-0076) and took some photos. I thought it might be fun to share: Curious to get an even closer look, I found this image online (https://baertierchen.de/wb_mai19.html). From my photos, I'm guessing it...

Interesting, I just discovered my traffic performance page: 2 Organic views on eBay 12 Promoted views on eBay 0 Promoted offsite 4 Organic views offsite 18 Views total So I guess the $9 (14%) ad fee paid for the extra 12 promoted views, whether the sale came from that or not.

I haven't sold anything on eBay for a while and the fees were pretty eye opening. $65.00 (sold, buyer's offer) -$0.47 (shipping label fee) -$10.66 (transaction fees) -$9.05 (ad fee) -$20.18 (total fees) 31% Total eBay Fees ------ I've never tried the promotional ad service. Since this was a...
