No problem with this old hardware. Here it is connected on the USB2 hub of my EIZO CS2420 monitor. Only warning: Colornavigator 7.1.8 is the last software supporting the Colormunki (this is not really an issue, but keep a copy of the installation software). Best wishes !

I finally upgraded my PC (for one or another reason Windows never took the initiative, although the hardware is compliant) , it was really very easy. The first time I left all peripherals connected, the upgrade failed and returned gently to Windows 10. With only a screen, keyboard and mouse...

I recently ditched the octopus-office.de magenta since it started to show less dense lines in the nozzle check. Not really clogs, the dots were lighter and adjacent lines darker. It went away with GI-56 M. ARC chips behave well until now.

Indeed, the cyan is far from OK, but with good ink maybe recoverable. I've always been extremely paranoiac on the nozzle checks, inspecting them with a magnifying glass. You must see every dot ! PS: I don't know where you are located, but I never had any problem with octoinkjet.co.uk cyan (or...

I would not exaggerate with cleaning solutions, ammonia is a measure of last resort. Long soaking in inoffensive products (as a drop of dish washing liquid in a bottom of deminaralized water) is often the best solution. Once you see improvement in the cyan, a few nozzle checks every day keeps...

Very interesting observation, @Artur5, could be added to the PRO-10 geriatric symptoms list. Just guessing: if it isn't an internal leak (although probably since the colours are adjacent) the only other explanation is migration via the purge pad. But in this case it would rather be a mix of...

Never seen that. Seems Cyan ink contaminates the CO channel. It looks like partly clogged too. How does the outlet maze of the CO cart looks like ? If not blank replace. What kind of CO do you use (most 3th party are rather poor IMO), maybe you should try an OEM one. I would start by rinsing...

What's wrong ? There have been issues with the background xrite service.

Agree, the ink in the printhead will dissolve the last impurities. Do a few nozzle checks every day. Enjoy your printer and take care of it, you won't find anything better to refill.

Photo Colorpicker is part of the original Colormunki Photo application. A very nice feature. Seems to be available for download here: https://www.xrite.com/service-support/downloads/c/colormunki-photo-124 I still have this software on my computer for the Colorpicker although I use i1Studio for...

Not very kind from this buyer. I have my printers registered at the Canon website just as all my photo gear. Serials numbers help to prove ownership.

@chores : Your nozzle check is not bad at all. Let the printer switched on overnight and do a few nozzle checks the next morning. Most probably the PBK will clean itself without further cleaning cycles after a few days. Eventually do one or maximum two normal cleanings, avoid deep cleaning...

:D

I have a flush clip but only use it to - well "flush" ;) - cartridges, I find it too cumbersome for refilling (how to determine the exact volume, what with the excess ? I never put ink back in the bottle to avoid contamination). Never had problems with the dripping method, except with the...

The air can be removed by squeezing the cart gently after refilling until only ink comes out and no foam. You can see when there is air when the ink absorption slows at the end of the dripping (one of the reasons I use this method). Octo GY can be a bit critical on flow, but I only experienced...

Colormunki is priceless :thumbsup This one has much better reds. The greys are darker, is this with PGI-72GY ? As far as I remember octo GY is lighter, but I had no problems with it as far as I didn't swap without reprofiling (the only colours I could exchange with OEM without colour issues are...

Technically the print is OK (no banding etc), but when comparing with the same test prints I made many times with different papers and inks and custom profiles, the red is clearly too dominant. See the rocks, the strawberries etc. @Borut , you should see it yourself by comparing your print or...

Indeed, for obvious construction reasons "compatible" PGI-72 cartridges can kill a printhead in no time, and this can start strange behaviour as blocking the head in the parking position etc... Think twice before buying a used PRO-10 where those carts have been in, even at a very cheap price (as...

I recently ran the BK cart dry - pure laziness from my part - without additional error message. Printhead still OK after refill... These things are built for office use, maybe they can have some mismanagement.

Low ink doesn't cause problems anymore. When a colour (with ARC) goes empty, I open the front door, remove the cart and refill it in the basement (and seal the ink outlet with a piece of alu tape). IMO it is less hassle to respect the official procedure instead of refilling all together (as with...
