Hi, I have been refilling using the german method since buying my Canon in July. This last week I have noticed when refilling that the outlet port fills with ink and/or bubbles, so I have to refill very slowly and keep stopping, this has happened on the Cyan, Yellow and Magenta. Can anyone...

I started refilling my CLI8's after reading useful info on here and refilling with ink from Octoink (Image specialist ink, I believe), and I have been keeping scores. Original OEM carts as supplied with printer from new, bought in July. I will abbreviate the colours, followed by number of fills...

Had to write another post, on 13 and that can be considered unlucky, had enough of that at the mo. So........ Just got hold of some Harman Crystljet Gloss and Luster RC paper direct from the factory, on BOGOF at this time. I have so far only tried the the gloss and its good. A B&W print done...

I will reiterate what has been said so far. Generally speaking when I looked at Canon printers and CISS I found that a lot of users were stating that there can be compatibility issues that do not occur with such frequency on Epson products. And where I had seen CISS on a Canon it looked...

Yes nice price too. Its down to Canons marketing I suppose, there seems to be no logical reason why the Pro9000 can not do big pano's as you write, other than to to sell this feature on more expensive units. It might also be that they can not compete with Epson so have simply given up trying...

Big difference in price from Qimage to Genuine Fractals, is the latter 3x better or is it because it's aimed at the professional market rather than than the general photographer. I did figure out late last night that the panoramic limitations were down to Canons own driver limitations, and it...

You are never to old to learn something new. Downloaded the trial version of Qimage and printed a low res image that looked pixelated on the monitor, used the ICC profile, but did not change the image quality other than to scale it up to A4, then printed same from Photoshop Elements 6. Even at...

Thanks for the info, I have viewed the pages before and used info therein. I will also look further in to the Qimage software mentioned. I have just tweakd the settings slightly today to produce what I believe is a more natural image, by selecting photo glossy II paper as recommended by Ilford...

Yes missed that one, thats why I am not a journalist. Software is Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 in the main, and I have also tried Canons own Easy Photo print Ex, both came with the printer. I am working on coming to terms with colour management, and whilst I have improved my understanding in that...

Just my thoughts on best paper and profile on the Canon Pro 9000 mkii. I have yet to fully understand colour management, so I have relied upon the paper maunfacturers instructions, along with info from experienced users on this and other forums. Lidl Unicorm Premium Photo Glossy 240gsm - a bit...

Well, just done my first refill, and it went ok. Can not say I am proficient having done just one cart, but apart from four or five minor ink drops and wipes, it was pretty starightforward. Thanks to those who supplied the pictures, the words of wisdom and the you tube videos. The chip was...

Pharmacist, Thanks for the info, I will check on the precoat.

pharmacist, Interesting, I can not say I have noticed that. I have only done the one print mind and it is on A4. Looking close up through an 8x magnifier the iamge is actually stronger and less pixelated than on the cheap glossy paper. It is, although being a slightly smaller print, spot on to...

Just tried Lyson and Innova papers, so far with mixed results The Lyson image quality was poor compared to cheal Lidl paper on A4. With the ICC profile from Lyson the results had a distinctive green cast. Alhough results were poor I only tried 4 sheets, so I have bought a sample pack to...

Cheers Stratman, The carts were new Canon that I opened in the last couple of weeks, and as any ink present would still be kinda of fresh it would be canons own and then filled with ink from Octoinkjet, image specialists ink, which so far have received favourable reviews. Info so far states it...

ghwellsjr - Watched the vids on this method very quick, not tried it yet so will take me a while longer, but nice to see it done after reading all 15 pages. Looking at using image specialist inks from octoinkjet, based not far from where I live, and he has provided info directly and via this...
