Mostly the function is for new printers or replacement heads. With the new models the alignment is automatic, and most users will not have a reason to look at it. You could look at it once a month if you feel like it, or if some issue of registration errors seems to be turning up in prints.

The connection between the printer and the host computer is bi-directional. The computer sends a message at the start of the print job to ask if the printer is ready to take the page data. It often happens, and drives one crazy, that the printer does not respond. There can be a lot of reasons...

Allow me to add to the complexity by asking about "auto power on" status. I use that with my i9900 and it works great and I get very few cleaning cycles. It is located in settings.

I think the MSDS's have been mentioned previously on the site. The napthalene compound in Canon inks is, I believe, a dye mobilizer/stabilizer in the red end of the spectrum, and is present in very small amounts. It is not widely used in indutrial chemistry (just try it on Google) and last time...

True about Hobbbicolors, but their cartridges do not have the two-sponge filler of Canon cartridges, and I have discontinued the use of them, though I happily fill up with Hobbicolor ink.

My red and green cartridges are consumed at the same rate as the other ones. Mostly I print from Corel software using ICM profiles published for the paper, but which I customize with a slight increase of intensity, most often in yellow. I have no problems with color matching/management. Edit 1...

You did not state the reason for the effort to clean the waste tank. Some printers give the blinking orange light warning when it is not the overflow tank. Several posts on this site mention that the tank is very rarely full, or in a state to compromise operation.

I have read the memjet press release. After many years in the technology development business, and reading between the lines, my opinion is that this product is some way from the market, probably a couple of years or more. Bear in mind that we are very unlikely to see 13" or larger versions of...

I have nothing numerical or documentary to go on, but I think that the Canon printer line is not being represented by major retailers as it was a year ago. It looks to me that the office-prosumer/advanced amateur photo market is going over entirely to HP and Epson, if you judge by sales flyers...

Thanks GHWells, but it is not that either. this one has me stumped.

Thanks for the post, but that is not the issue with mine. It is set from the driver properties level to be plain paper. I may just re-install the printer driver , except for the pain that it is a network unit.

The duplex printing box on my Canon i9900 has gone gray. It used to work, though it is one of the older clumsy types for which you have to reverse the stack of paper and re-insert it, not like those nifty new Pixmas which print on one side of a page then suck the page back in for the other side...

In general the answer is no. Going only by what is visible though. We have to realize that small-format inkjets from all the manufacturers are a spin-off of the sign-painting and flat-bed industrial/commercial market. Without sign-printing and commercial showcard and poster printing there would...

It looks like the home-office inkjet business is being targetted by more than Kodak. I see some appealing discounts in Xerox Phaser models, which may not have the resolution and brilliance of some inkjets, but they come with gonzo large refill packs which do not need as much attention as those...

I wish Kodak well with this move. Their pricing of the ink is very canny. Even the most diehard refiller will have to think twice when a 3-color cartridge is only $14.99. The printers are an exclusive to BestBuy, at least for awhile, so there will be no discount marketing of the printer as I see it.

The Canon system is pretty obviously in violation of US fair trade practices acts, and not only the Magnusson Act. In my experience Canon is an arrogant corporation and is totally dominated in attitude and deed by the Japanese multimational. Last autumn I left an RFQ on the CanonUSA website for...

Trigger37 this matter of the Magnusson Act and warranties was written up on another thread in the month of January. I think we pretty well mashed it to bits, to the point that until a law firms wants to take the matter on spec, it's just going to lie there.

Grandad35 is correct. To print on both sides buy two-sided paper. I am not familiar with the Ilford line. If the "paper" is like Kirkland, some Canon papers, and the Inkpress papers I regulaly use, it is not paper at all, but a non-woven plastic fiber, OR there is a layer of "paper" in a plastic...

Sometime between my last order and the one before that Hobbicolors stopped using two-piece sponges and went to a one-piece. In their case the bottom sponge did not go very far inside the cartridge, but that might not matter functionally if the idea is to create a hydraulic gradient internally to...
