    Recommendations to buy a new A3 colour inkjet printer around £150

    Could be showing your age, or lack of criminal expertise. I would suggest at least a £50 note would be a minimum for a modern forger. The £5 forgeries were what I read about in my schoolboy detective thrillers. Along with Biggles by Capt W. E. Johns. Those were the "daze". rs

    Precision inks shelf life

    At 10 bucks or thereabout for 4 oz of refill inks, why take a chance? Whether opened or not, and storage condition may be a factor. Will be interesting to see what Mike says. rs

    How to select the right kind of paper for photo printing?

    Hi Harry, Did you ever solve your 3880 cartridge chip resetting problem? As far as paper is concerned Ink Stained Fingers has stated the essentials. The rest is "Just Print and See". I also have the 3880. An incredible printer and almost impossible to make a bad print on it. PAPER...

    Recommendations to buy a new A3 colour inkjet printer around £150

    Hi Joao and welcome to the site. The Hat has already commented and you can take his advice to the bank. He has already forgotten more than I will ever know about inkjet printing. However, I would like to add a few comments for your consideration. I have a Canon Pro 100 with nearly 4,000...

    Gloss Optimizer - Epson

    There was a recent post on DPReview by Mark McCormack who observed a similar effect if the prints were treated with an aqueous coating. Mark being Mark he tabulated the results and, if my memory is correct, the measurements were in line with the figures given by ISF in the post above. rs

    How many colors do you need ?

    If it is very basic colour editor it could be counting colour values which may not be actual visible colours. I would like to get more involved in this field, especially with regard to producing better quality profiles than are possible with my entry level Colormunki. Unfortunately, Xrite's...

    How many colors do you need ?

    Very interesting comment which goes into areas I am interested in, but beyond my knowledge base. Are you advising us of the error of using JPG files for critical colour? I think I was aware of this. I am assuming your colour count coordinates were measured in the L*a*b* colour space which...

    Can you recommend a color laser?

    Would also be beneficial to indicate your location. There are significant national and regional differences in models and availability. rs

    Cartridge chip show/ do not show ink level on ARC chip

    Anyone here old enough to remember the slipshod early Japanese products from the late 50's and early 60's. While we in the West were busy laughing at them, they snuck up and ate our lunch. Hello Toyota, Mitsubishi and others. rs

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    Looks just like the carpet at my cartridge refilling station. I have to keep is judiciously covered with furniture and other items so the "Vice President of Housekeeping Services" does not see it. :) rs

    Printing dye inks on canvas, metallic?

    I have printed a fair number of large prints on Canvas. Your results may vary, but my results which are consistent and reproducible are: 1: You mention canvas AND canvas paper by which I assume you mean a paper with a canvas finish. I have printed on both and can categorically state that in...

    How to purge and dry a Cone-cart?

    Is it possible you need a better spectrophotometer than a colormunki for your profiles? It is basically an entry level instrument and not as sophisticated as an industrial strength version, which will typically read the patch multiple times and average the result for better accuracy as well as...

    "DisplayCAL" is making me feel ashame.

    Hmmm!!! Human vision and the human brain are notoriously unreliable for colour perception and interpretation. This short TED talk on youtube explains a small part of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf5otGNbkuc Now who are you going to believe? Your lying eyes or me? ;) Not...

    Colormunki version 1.2.2 update: horrible mess up of fonts

    One would hope that those visual changes in the second scan translate into a better and more accurate profile. Of course, the evaluation of print quality is a difficult and murky subject. Those interested may find a recent comment by Mark McCormick of interest at...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    So correct. The unspoken secret for getting a POW is to photograph nature. In spring time flowers are an easy choice. Nature, or a superior being if you prefer that notion, takes care of the shape, colour, texture, sometimes even the composition. Basically, for the photographer, it is just a...

    Colormunki version 1.2.2 update: horrible mess up of fonts

    Sorry - I had meant to raise the matter, and it was in my notes. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance. It became evident once she had addressed, and not been able to solve, my problem she was eager to terminate the conversation. She did admit to a large number of calls about compatibility...
