    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Hi, the green and red inks are used on the 'pro' papers.

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    The Pro100 is a fine printer. Especially if you have good profiles. Precision Colors has some new one that are great. However, I have about a dozen photos that I sell and I know them intimately. The Pro9000 II can achieve subtleties with its green and red inks that the Pro 100 cannot. I can...

    I know it's a longshot but I'm looking for a new Pro 9000 II. My budget is about $225. Any help locating one would be fantastic. Thanks. :bow

    Canon Pro-100 Linux driver

    I actually have Ubuntu and it the driver is pretty limited. It's nowhere near as sophisticated as Canon's driver for photo printing which is a pity. It seems at one time Canon was interested in providing linux drivers. See this link. Why'd they change their mind? Also from a Gutenprint...

    best way to print on long discontinued Ilford paper?

    Hi, my local camera shop had a close-out on sample packs of ilford inkjet paper. I bought a handful. One of the sheets looks very interesting: Smooth High Gloss Media 235gsm. I think this paper was discontinued quite a while ago before my Pro9000II even existed. And I only have one sheet so I...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Thanks for your comments Mr. McAleavy. My workflow now is completely managed. I've been very busy lately and haven't had much time to experiment with my Pro-100. I did however print up Riwo.dot's Colortest II page using not Canon's Luster profile but Precision Color's profile instead. Someone...

    Best profile for Staples Premium Matte double sided?

    Thanks fotofreek, I was able to score one package. It's a very bright paper. I had a color image and I toned it way down and it's still quite bright. Not unpleasant though. I bet I would really lend itself to black & white images.

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Update. I bought a new printhead for my Pro9000II. Magenta problem solved. I followed these three guides and now I get prints that are incredibly close to my display with my 9000II. http://www.slagermanphoto.com/blog/2010/09/22/windows-color-management-solution/...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Hi, this monitor comes pre-calibrated to 99% AdobeRGB or 100% sRGB and it comes with it's own .icm file. My friend moved to the east coast. He set up my machine with my previous monitor but it was so long ago I don't remember the exact settings he used to set the color space within Windows 7...

    Underwhelmed By Pro-100

    Okay, I got my Asus PA279Q and I'm a novice in setting up .icm's and what not. I put the monitor's AdobeRGB pre-calbrated .icm where I believe it should go and I made a test print of the Onsight Color Evaluation Image v2 on my Pro-100 and it came out very close. The soaps in the lower right hand...

    Hi, I'm curious if you see any differences between the prints on your 9000 and pro100? I notice greens and reds are more prominent on my 9000. And a couple of my images the pro100 cannot duplicate what the 9000 outputs at all which is very disappointing. I've had the best luck with Canon's...
