Thanks everyone! Wil

Thanks! Do you know where to get the ink? Wil

Can the carts for this printer be refilled? Thanks! Wil

I just did a profile for my Dell 17" Studio laptop with the new i1profiler software. It dramatically shows why you should never try to do color editing with a laptop. The display on this laptop is as good as it gets with laptops. The displayed results were awful. Never try to do serious...

Canon Pro-100, Precision Color ink and profile for Kirkland Tulip paper Most know that when all is well with your printer, the final quality of the print is the result of good monitor and paper profiles. It is impossible to predict the quality of the print unless you have a monitor that has...

Pharmacist’s solution is: -3 % propylene glycol -20 % isopropyl alcohol/ethanol -distilled water up to 100 % I found propylene glycol at a “compounding pharmacy.” In South Carolina these are pharmacies that mix (compound) drugs and medicines in special ways for special needs. By the way, the...

My CLI-8 purged carts were completely white. So is the CLI-42 that I purged. I'm away from camera and cart now, but will make photo in the near future. Wil

I have no idea about the ingredients. The stuff just seems to work on everything I try it on. It does a great job in the microwave oven. Wil

CLI-42 Purging Since I replaced the Pro-100 CLI-42 yellow cart with the purged CLI-8 from Precision Colors, the CLI-42 is of little value since its chip is gone. That being the case I decided to experiment with purging the CLI-42. I use the German method of refilling and many have reported...

I have used the German method with syringes for a long time with both a Pro 9000 II and my current Pro 100. I find the method to be vastly superior to the top fill method because it is so fast and clean and no drips or spills. Some have reported problems with this method, either at first or at...

I agree completely that the inaccuracies are likely caused by the mixture of OEM and PC ink. After all, we should not expect an exact match between OEM and PC ink. It is remarkable that the profiles for PC produces such great color with full OEM ink and a mixture of the two inks. My comments...

I have now printed several prints with PC profiles with ink carts containing a mixture of OEM ink and PC ink. I am at one refill. Note that PC never claimed that their profiles were correct for OEM ink. The prints with PC profiles and OEM ink and my current mixture of OEM ink and PC ink are...

As reported before, I received my first low ink warning after a lot of prints. I also reported that the Precision colors profiles were good with OEM ink, they weren’t perfect. So now it was time to prepare the OEM carts and refill for the first time. My long standing practice is to top up...

Thanks for the solution to showing a spreadsheet table. Wil

I have been keeping s spreadsheet about the ink usage of the Pro-100. The table doesn't format well on this forum so I have uploaded the file as a PDF if you desire to see it. The results are quite impressive. There is a total of 4416 sq. in. of color area and includes 43-8.5 x 11 sheets and...
