The printer seems to work, what is your problem exactly then ? No experience, but a eeprom programmer allows you to overwrite the memory directly with a clamp on the chip contacts. No idea if this works for Canon printers but some people do it with graphic cards. If you can get a "good" image...

From my own experience and reading others I think it will be a though job to make one good printer from 4 bad ones. About the eeprom, I suppose you have the appropriate service tool ? (at least ST5204 according to this forum and my own experience with the PRO-10). Some diehards reprogram the...

The second link suggest downloading a service tool. This is how to reset the ink counter, but take care about the version number. Only versions dated after the release of the PRO-300 are susceptible to work. Others will block all further access. FYI: this is (an evaluation copy of) version 5103...

Indeed difficult to understand from a guy who started with a book shop.

To eliminate the latter you could try to print with a large border (that's why Fine Art settings have this). I observed occasional banding at the borders with octoinkjet GY too, you could buy an OEM cart.

Got it long ago new in the box for €70 (from a guy who couldn't use it on Linux), so no complaints. I remember scanning prints to compare the Canon PRO-10 with @Ink stained Fingers 's Epson P400. Anyway, when it breaks there seems to be an alternative for a reasonable price...

FYI, I tried different greases and fine oil but no avail. Finally I wiped the bar with kitchen paper with silicon spray ( I know you must take care it doesn't migrate in contacts). I was able to do about 20 scans without any errors. Fingers crossed, this scanner is really good for the price and...

I tested it some time ago (and reported with success on this forum) on a MB5350 with Service tool V5204. The ink purge tube ends in the upper right back, so you could easily guide it to an external waste container (aka printer potty).

NO WAY :eek:

Strange, no paywall here. Interesting read:

In my experience the PRO-10 can print higher gamuts and deeper blacks on matte papers with normal Matte paper settings (without 30mm border restriction) than the PRO-9500 where only Fine Art lays enough ink. It is not a major concern for me anymore. I know people who are very happy with their...

Width is maximum 355mm. I cut a slice from A2 just in case. From a roll a bit longer, but these printers never had a panorama software update. PRO-1000 and PRO-300 can do 990mm (as Epsons).

PRO-10 (and PRO-9500) can print 355mm large at 584 long (65mm less wide and 10mm shorter) via the manual feed. On the normal tray 329mm wide and 676mm long.

Peace ! My excuses in @The Hat 's name. He was only joking about José's endless youtube videos ;) . I always appreciated your contributions there. From my experience with the PRO-10 your inks are the best 3th party available (sadly economically not viable to purchase overseas, but that's...

From my observations - not tests - 3th party pigment inks fade slow enough to make you wait a long time for results. Yellow is one of the first colors to loose intensity. Let's say you don't risk much the first 10 years. The physical properties are the major concern IMO, you risk banding due to...

As said, most chances the ink is better than 3th party copies of the original Lucia. No idea if changes in the printheads and inks of later generations would make older inks unusable. But supply is dwindling and prices rising (and this conversation won't help much to that).

Personally never considered the plotter inks, but it is Lucia pigment. You won't fill the complete PRO-1000 ink set, but you probably will need a custom profile if correct colours is a concern. Report your experience !

I suppose you mean Lucia EX inks for large format printers. Although the PRO-1000 uses Lucia PRO - a later development, with probably smaller (resin encapsulated) pigment parts - chances are big the EX overall quality is better than Inktec. I have no problems with these inks in the PRO-10, being...

I've seen @jtoolman 's videos too and appreciate the geniosity of @mikling , but if I had a PRO-1000 I would have come to the same conclusion as @The Hat . The carts are so large that the time between weighing and refilling the carts is large enough. There is no flushing afterwards either as...

My PRO-10 gives a paper jam warning from time to time without any paper stuck. I then insert a heavy A3+ sheet backwards through the rollers. This seems to toggle a switch and the printer makes a lot of noises but it clears the error. No idea where the switch is located.
