My first printer is about 6 years old. It uses rods and ball bearings for motion. Not the best setup and there's some minor surface rusting. Maintenance has been more work than expected. But.....it prints better now than when I bought it. Everything is replaceable. So, I would say that it's...

I started printing with ABS. It's a nightmare. But since I've started using PLA and PETG, life is good. For both PLA and PETG, I use ~60C for bed temp. Here's how I do the bed. I have a glass piece on top of the heated plate. I use aqua-net hair spray. Every few prints, I spray some on the bed...

It's not messing up anything. So, I don't have a "Big" complaint by any means since my prints are turning out well. It just bugs me a little. On my Pro9000, it was a useful tool. I'd had a lot of trouble turning off color management in the printer, so I was running with colors "managed by...

It's not LR's profile. It's the Canon printer driver's "Preview" (pops up when Preview before Printing" is selected in the Printer Properties boxes). So I think LR is off the hook.

The monitor profile is correct as far as I can determine. Prior to profiling it with the ColorMunki, I didn't run any color management for the screen. After profiling, it was lighter in the shadow areas and the screen remains that way now. If the CM display profile didn't load, the screen would...

I'm thinking I'll get someone to buy me a second printer on the rebate deal. A second set of full carts, 50 sheets of paper, and a spare printhead&printer has got to be woth $100.:)

How hard is it to change over the chips?

I actually bid on eBay to pick up another Pro-100 this AM and lost. Which is good. I thought the Adorama rebate on the Pro-100 was over on Dec 31. Went and looked and it's now running from Jan 1 to Mar 30. Total costs is $398 minus a $300 rebate. And you get free shipping and 50 sheets of...

I've had a Pixma Pro9000 for about 6 years and was all set to refill...when the print head failed. I concluded that it wasn't a clog on 12/31 about 9 PM. I was sufficiently quick to order a Pro-100 as a replacement about an hour before the Adorama rebate ended. And I listed all my ink (9 OEM...
