Still using my canon i960 and have been using canon matte photo paper most of the time for photographic images, macro work of flowers and insects, people, old barns...what other papers have you used with this printer and enjoyed the results? I tend to like the matte finishes, wanted to try...
Well, last night before packing up my 9500 for return, I thought I'd use up the 13x19 sample pack of papers I had bought, the fine art canon papers were all represented and the photo plus semi gloss. I used the photo plus last because I usually don't care for shiny prints. What happened was I...
Thanks guys for all your great insights...I want vivid and lasting, and larger than my i960 prints, but I did here the canon 9000 pro dye printer (also 13x19) canon is saying has longevity too under certain conditions...maybe that would be a better printer for me...virginia
I would like to see a side by side print from the canon pro 9000 and 9500 to compare the pigment with the dye version of those printers. I did originally use the canon matte photo paper, which I usually use with my i960, but have also tried some of the fine art canon papers made just for these...
Have been using a canon i960 for a few years and loving it, beautiful images and color with almost no adjustments necessary, just a little sharpening. Concerned about the archivability I recently bought the canon 9500 pro and am considering returning it. Knowing it is a pigment printer I asked...
So what do you guys think of the three new canon printers announced, two with pigment inks and one with new dye ink, supposed to be more archival for photographs?
I ran my canon i960 after one or two of the cartridges were out of ink, I think. Got extreme banding on 2 prints, and a blue green cast over what was mostly a white and reddish-purple image (macro of a flower). Put in new ink tanks and on the next print, the print is smooth, no banding, but an...
Enjoying my first evening with my new i960. After many fantastic prints, I've gotten the low ink, then no ink warning for the photo magenta, is it okay to keep printing as long as I can see some ink below the sponge (or in the sponge?) if I'm planning to replace with another cartridge? And how...
My new i960 should be arriving in a day or two, and I thought I'd use with canon papers for a while for simplicity sake...anyone know of any good deals, special offers on the matte, plus or pro? How do you guys like the canon papers?
I'm thinking of getting the canon i960 printer and am wondering what kinds of canon (and other) papers you like using with it. When I had my darkroom I usually preferred matte, not sure if I will feel the same with color prints. Pricegrabber started at $5.80 (plus 5 for shipping) for 50 sheets...
