Thanks Binkie. This shows the same sort of thing, but the one I saw previously was in English - I think by one of the members here!

I'm sure I'd seen it here. Someone posted a great video for how to purge Canon carts. Showed the tube hooked up to the water source and everything. I must be tired; every search I tried came up empty for that video link.

It may have been a bad choice of words on my part, but the intent was to refer to the process by which inserting of a new cart would be followed by the printer going through whatever cycle it uses to feed ink from the new cart into the print head. Some printers will do that for all print carts...

Wow, what a great bunch of knowledgeable people on this site. I just figured I'd get a couple of guesses at "oh, maybe x more 4x6s", but instead I'm treated to all this historical data and analysis. Makes my engineer's heart glad. :) Thanks. I used my Canon ;) G9 for this one. It was the one I...

Just as an additional bit of observation, I did wait until my PM cart indicated Empty and changed it. The printer did not prime (!) before starting to print again.

In this thread http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5925 I got some good info about Canon 9000 M.II cart priming and advice about when to change carts. Since this was the first Low Ink warning I'd gotten on the printer I decided to see what would happen if I waited until the Empty...

Ha ha! :D But I'm not yet a refiller. I'm waiting for the warranty to run out. Until then I'll be holding on to the pulled carts, but I would be interested in knowing how many cc's of ink I'd be leaving in if I do this. So what happens if one does not reset the chip? Isn't resetting necessary...

So as this seems to be a good bit of advice, I guess the question to ask is, for a CLI-8 cart - if I pull it when it first provides a Low Ink warning - how much ink do I wind up throwing out? Or, how many additional prints would I have gotten if I kept it in until it was empty? Assume standard...

Ah. Good tip. Thanks.

So if I replace the cart before it is empty there's a chance it will not reprime, but if I wait until the cart is empty it will?

Does it reprime all carts when one new one gets installed, or just the one that got installed? I suspect I know the answer, but wanted to get confirmation from anyone who knows for sure.

This is kind of ironic for me. I was an Epson dye printer user for many years, owning and using 4 of them (in series) over the course of 12-14 years. I gave up because my usage profile was not compatible with the habit of Epson's non-removable print heads getting clogged if not used on a...

Yes, it's starting to seem that way. It's just that at least in my house about 5-6 days seems to be the stabilization point. What had me scratching my head was that other thread I saw where Grandad35 ran a bunch of tests on inks and found very little change after only 24 hours. 'cause I'm a...

nche11, when did that happen? I just bought my Pro9000 Mark II - it's full of CLI-8 carts! :o

I just felt like I had to vent. Back in my earlier days of using an Epson 1200 and then 1270 dye printers, I almost went crazy using a calibrated flatbed scanner and ColorVision's ProfilerPlus to create profiles. I'd been on the CMS bandwagon early on, keeping my Sony GDM-FW900 calibrated and...

Okay, I scanned the original Media Test images printed from the Spyder3Print Media Check function. I have a calibrated Epson 1640SU flatbed scanner, using Vuescan Pro and a proper IT8 image with its calibration data. Test images were printed with No color management in the Canon driver. Photo...

I did run the Spyder3Print Media Test prints including the GPP setting, but for whatever reason the media setting image looked best to me with PPPII. I did not run a histogram on any of the Media test images, though. I think I still have them; maybe I should give that a try.

I've been getting bits of evidence that I'm having a problem using Epson Photo Paper with my new Canon Pro9000 Mark II. I made a set of media tests and decided that using Photo Paper Pro II in the Canon media setting produced the best looking output, but when I did a "no color adjust" RAW print...

Thanks gang. Nice to get confirmation from the guys who've been there.

That's what I was hoping. After all, it is a dye ink. Shouldn't have to worry about content settling. What I wasn't sure about was if the dye exhibited any color shifting or separation as it got older.
