I do not print often on matte papers, only for posters (=temporarily use, not to frame). First of all it doesn't work for all images, second I use the sliders to give more pop. Mostly on the PRO-9500II to save my PRO-10. I would be delighted when you attach the icc files ;)

Precision Colors has to do this since there are almost no refillable printers anymore. Very inventive and courageous, but as long as you have a printer as easy as a PRO-10, why would you fill an ET8850 with 3th party pigment inks when the original dye inks are sold in bottles, have a high gamut...

Temporarily sold out ;)

You won't find any, even older Lucia is sold much too expensive. Except for Blue and Green (how could that be :D).

It would be good ink for certain (and there is no other choice for CO). Canon never said it is the same ink though. I went for Lucia EX since it is somewhat cheaper per ml, about half price of PGI-72. Ink IS expensive nowadays.

I used different mixes and roughly can say that the Lucia EX inks have a slightly higher gamut than PRO-10 OEM (no experience with PRO-1000 (Lucia PRO). The original Lucia was used in the PRO-9500 and has a bit less gamut and gloss equality. In most colours these inks are exchangeable with the...

Is it possible to attach/send the icc files, I would compare with mine on the PRO-10 ?

This confirms what @The Hat suggested. Does this mean Canon starts to watch closer to the carts we use ?

Off topic, the Maxify pumps the waste ink up to the top of a kind of tower in the back at right to drop it down again on pieces of felt. Probably to enhance the absorption capacity of the pads in the bottom. Very easy to connect an external tube with minimal disassembly. The WIC of my first...

I still use a PRO-9500II for A3(+) office prints and posters, photos on matte/fine art paper (and old glossy paper stock where the PRO-10 causes ink pooling). The PRO-10 is for glossy and luster photos only.

Glad to hear you changed your mind about the PRO-10, most people who were tempted by the PRO-1 should have bought a PRO-10 - I think even Canon would agree ;). I could be wrong about the Maxify, will open it again, and when I find the battery I will try to replace it.

I believe you, but what is true for the PRO-1 doesn't necessary apply to the PRO-10. Since there are no PRO-9500's (we thought they would live forever) anymore, the PRO-10 is the best we have now to refill. Crying wolf on every reported error because it happens to have a battery (as the PRO-1...

After rereading this thread some thoughts: - TS mentioned he used older service tools, this blocks access forever, so later unsuccesful attempts (after disconnecting the battery) are not a proof the printer is dead - the printer was flooded with ink so could have other damage - an EEPROM is...

As @The Hat experienced, older generation Canon dye printers must have been sturdy. But I entered the scene too late (with the 525/526 carts) and had a lot of frustration. Maybe cause of the German (Durchstich) refill method. Also the refill inks faded while you were looking at them (but they...

I am happy with the dripping method, and indeed the weight (32,5g without clip) is the most important. Although resetted chips show empty before reaching 20g, so there is leeway. When there is too much air you won't be able to reach it, press the sides slightly - with the outlet upwards - until...

I had something else in mind as open brain surgery with a dremel ;).

At least try to find out how to change the battery, so the poor thing serves for something :D

I am rather disappointed too you don't like the PRO-10. IMO it does everything the same as the PRO-9500, only better. I mean photo's of coarse.

I've got the 4100 error yesterday on the PRO-10 when launching a bottom plate cleaning. No setup carts in the printer (although the other set has 2 of them and never caused this). Went away after restarting the printer. I made over 100 prints in 2 days and left the printer powered on overnight...

I thought we would try to understand these machines ? ;)
