> I wish you could Email me a copy of your image, so I could test it. You'd be wasting your time. Without a real profiling solution, you don't have the tools to correct it. impossible.

> My prints with Canon ink are much more yellow than the profile I sent you. Maybe one of the print nozzles on my printer is clogged. Well something must be seriously wrong. The Canon OEM inks aren't exactly accurate, but close, and correctable. The profile you sent makes people literally the...

] Sometimes the color shift is do to a small printhead clog. no clogs. I've swapped OEM carts. I think I mentioned that b4.

Robert, Thanks for the effort! You had my hopes up for a second there. It looks like you hand edited a color print profile with some rough color tweaks. Unfortunatly, the profile you sent produces incredibly yellow prints. So yellow that people are the color of bananas. Thanks for the...

InkTec inks are supposed to be good. Let us know how they do.

Jes- It's hard to tell from those images they show, which which are pretty terrible example images. I mean you can't tell anything from them. Any printer can print 100 saturated bright and light colors. What's difficult is printing accurate subtle colors, like tan skin that's not pink or...

Particularly a Canon 4 color such as the 4000, 5000, etc? I'm looking for a profile for my 5000 that is close.

My only comment on the longevity of products is that IMO it should be clearly printed on the packaging, and independantly verified. If a certain products lifetime and planned obsolesence is justifibly optimial for consumers, then it naturally follows that should be verified by informed...

Ok, good luck with them. My experience in a nutshell is they're ok for most things, but will really give you some greif with dark browns. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the interest. Yea, no ink is perfect, including Canon OEM. However, the problem with purple shadows is absolutly more of an issue with the Formulabs inks. I have a reference photo I use for color tests. It has multiple portraits, a red motorcycle, a black one, some flowers, a fruit...

Re-reading this thread.... some observations: RC said he didn't like the BCI-6 ink in his 4 color printers, but htey are good for his 6+ color. Grandad is also usign a 6+ color. Bananna said his 4 color tests were "way too pink" and garbage, which is pretty close to my feeling. So, I'm...

Geo- How did you like that ink? I got "Arrow" carts supposedly containing Formulabs ink from alotofthings.com, and I think it's really unbalanced. Purple/magenta shadows, yellow mids and skin. It's basically impossible to print a gradient of dark browns without getting some funky cast, and...

I ask becasue I have "arrow" carts from Alotofthings.com which is supposed to use Formulabs inks, and the results are really purple shadows, and jaundice yellow skins. Maybe I got a bad batch, maybe they have poor quality control and don't test the ink, maybe the 4 color inks just suck. I have...

Grandad - lol, that's becasue that's me.

Grandad- Actually, I don't think we're using the same ink. You're using 8 color and I'm usign 4 color I think. They're not going to perform the same necessarially becasue the balancing may be in the other inks. BTW, I tried the profile for your 9900, and it was nowhere close to mine. I also...

RC- Not sure if I have BCI-5 or BCI-6 ink in the Alotofthings.com Arrow carts, but I don't like it. See my other post reviewing the ink for details. To be precise, I should say the inks are both purple/mag & yellow at the same time, but in different values. Shadows go purple/mag, mids go...

What ink was it? And BTW, what ink are you using? I need another to test.

Anyone recomendations for a good, cheap, satin/pearl semi-gloss paper?

Everyone said good things about this paper and I've also had good results with it. It's $19 for 125 8x11 sheets. It's an excellent quality high gloss paper, producing good blacks, good satuartion, and has a nice weight. It seems most people suspect it's Ilford paper, as it's made in Switzerland...

I read good stuff about Formulabs color accuracy and longevity. However, test on my ip5000 have some issues, especially with purple/magenta tints in shadows. Also, I'm getting more blending/dithering posterization than with the OEM. Overall complaints about the ink based on bright room viewing...
