    Problematic Maxify printer...

    Be kind to your printer and behave as an unsuspected user ;) . I refill when the (autoreset) chip shows the red cross (by opening the front door as the printer expects you to do - you have all the time, it doesn't retract the printhead after a while as some other printers do) and with GI-56 ink...

    Where to download Maxify 5120 firmware?

    I remember you could choose some options about connectivity when installing the printer. Anyway I don't receive those messages. But is is possible the procedure has changed in later models. The convention on this forum is never do upgrades unless you need to. No idea how to stop them. Maybe...

    Problematic Maxify printer...

    Great trick you found out, @Hat, and glad your printer is OK again.

    Problematic Maxify printer...

    Maybe B504 is not only a protection against missing ink flow, but scares also people doing unconventional things with cartridges. There are some videos about resetting the printer (a manipulation that looks like entering service mode). https://www.inkhub.com.au/ink/b504-error-canon-maxify-printers

    Problematic Maxify printer...

    Just thinking but no answer... B504 is raised when the printer does not detect ink flow (with the sensor in the printhead). Strange enough this should not have occurred since there was enough ink (or the sensor should have failed or the magenta channel clogged). The error should clear after...

    I didn't permit them nagging me when installing the printer.

    Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 uneven margins

    Maybe mixing margin settings in the printer driver with those in LR/PS causes this. I never change anything in the printer settings and the margins correspond with what is set in LR (PRO-10, PRO-9500II). I print borderless most of the time and until now was able to clean up the mess in the...

    How much effort is it worth to save my Canon Pro-10

    I see. But why not have 2 of them ? Every professional photographer has a backup camera body. A printer takes more room of coarse, but I have both my PRO-10 and PRO-9500II one above the other on a recovered TV table.

    How much effort is it worth to save my Canon Pro-10

    Sad you abandoned such a good printer despite resetting the counter is perfectly possible. And even if it failed, what could you loose ? But I understand not everyone has the time for it, or can use this time in a more lucrative way. I was thinking the same many times, I don't blame you ;)

    Aldi glossy paper 21 Jan 2023 version

    It was announced on Wednesday but it was not delivered in the 2 shops I visited. Didn't go back on Saturday. Thanks for informing I didn't miss anything. I still have 4 boxes "Expertiz" from 2 yrs ago, but since I must have hoarded at least 1500 A4 equivalents (from 10x15 to A3+) of different...

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    The border is not mandatory on the sides, in fact it is only to insure stable paper transport at the beginning and the end. PS: you can check the correct functioning of the purge system by spraying distilled water on the pads (with a long needle when the printhead is in the middle position)...

    Reviving a Canon pro 10

    It seems you print borderless. I recently had to clean the ink absorbers of the plate (by spraying distilled water and absorbing with paper towels). There is a printer setting to limit the overspray area, set it to the left to limit ink spell.

    Clean 5y old canon pro 10 Cartridges PGI-72

    PRO-10 inks are difficult to clean. IMO isopropanol doesn't dissolve dried ink. I would try detergent for dishwashing (on the sink, not for the machine).

    Canon Pro 10 vs Epson ET8550

    The PRO-10 is not only better on glossy papers (with good CO) but also on matte and fine art the gamut is better and the blacks deeper than with the PRO-9500(II). Only the nasty 30mm border with fine art settings...

    How to lubricate a scanner

    I have a Mustek Scanexpress A3, a very basic machine but all others cost 10 times more. The scan wagon blocks regularly. It glides on one side on a round bar as the printhead in a printer, the other side is just a plastic slider. It is also pressed by a spring against the underside of the glass...

    Original Colormunki works in Windows 11

    No regret, I have more paper than I ever will use (and ink for at least 2 years). After printing my 2023 calendars (8x12 A4) I still have 4 boxes of 50 sheets Expertiz 300g bought 2 years ago. I also make photo books from time to time, but why not try to print them on the double side papers I...

    Original Colormunki works in Windows 11

    I never could make profiles for other people since I never did the effort to master ArgyllCMS :eek: . But it saves a lot on ink and paper. Bought last week a box full of good papers, all unopened (Hahnemuhle, Ilford, Canon...) for a song. My stock of Aldi glossy is dwindling and I am afraid...
