    Failed attempt to print on Action canvas board...

    Most probably, I ordered the 50 pack RC and cancelled the first order. Since ink (even 3th party or expired OEM) costs more, I am not inclined to use cast paper in the future. Although I made some very fair 35.5x58.4 cm posters on the A2 Canson 180g (pencil writable on the back) I found in my...

    Failed attempt to print on Action canvas board...

    I've found a pack with 7 A4 canvas paper from Action. Took ink very well, but too small to wrap around a frame. I am now exploring affordable paper on larger sizes. Ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com.be/-/nl/KOALA-vellen-glanzend-A3-fotopapier-inkjetprinter/dp/B07HKGD5PY?th=1 But found...

    BCHTechnologies.com is (mis)using my work.....

    I've found citations and allusions to facts and theories published on this forum too on this site. For me this - most probably AI - approach looked not very trustworthy exactly because you didn't know about when and where. Frustrating that AI steals your efforts, but it is a hobby, you don't...

    HP OEM vs. non-OEM cartidges - a (paid) report

    This reminds me of the times I refilled Canon consumer printers with dye ink (the same category I suppose as the tested HP products). Both brands have the same printhead technology too. I managed with a lot of trial and error to maintain some printers for some time, and the average layman most...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    I've cut Canson cast A2 to 355x584mm (with 329x676 one of the maximum sizes on the PRO-10 and PRO-9500) to print a poster. If this could be true in 2025 !

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    FYI PRO-10 ink levels after a few calendars with "regular" matte high settings. No use of CO and MBK. Wonder if PRO-300 changed something.

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    You can see this "globbing" on some patches with the PRO-10 too in particular on the PDF (where my scanner tends to exaggerate). In high quality setting the printing is bi-directional, since the total ink consumption is not much higher I suppose less ink is applied at once. Good to hear the...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    So after 15 years in store the long time survival of most of my papers should be the same independent of the original quality and price ? Nevertheless you can't hide the huge differences in appearance and color rendition. The yellowing doesn't matter a lot (for most subjects) since I make...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    I reorganized my paper stock by surface yesterday, and I placed the Photo Rag Baryta on the SATIN shelf (others are GLOSSY, PEARL, and MATTE). In my opinion, the effect and purpose of these (by @thebestcpu cited) papers are quite different from the high gloss, high white RC papers discussed...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    In my observation cast papers can have - probably due to the fabrication process - a smoother surface than many resin coated ones, where in particular for the cheaper ones the paper structure stays more or less visible. But RC papers always have a plastic coating on the back, making them...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    I sniffed at my papers again and the KODAK Ultra Premium Photo Paper is most close to the Canon PP-201 Glossy II Photo Paper Plus now on sale at Canon for € 12,24/20 A4 https://store.canon.be/canon-pp-201-glossy-ii-photo-paper-plus-a4-20-vel/2311B019/ Both are 5 star papers. Canon PT-101 Pro...

    Alternative to HP C6832A resin coated paper ?

    As reported yesterday, I was very impressed with the KODAK Ultra Premium Photo Paper on sale at Amazon (€ 7.99/20 A4, € 9.99 for 25). If I didn't have enough glossy A4 in stock I would take more (also since the back feels plastic and has the Kodak logo printed, not so nice for photobooks or...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    While my Colormunki was doing overtime the Amazon courier delivered a pack 25 A4 KODAK Ultra Premium Photo Paper 280g (€ 9,99, 40ct/sheet). https://www.amazon.com.be/dp/B08YXLX7Y7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This is definitely RC - it seems all plastic - the surface is smoother than the...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    Qimage is indeed a weird program, but you can do things with it LR cannot. Anyway, my latest tests on cast and matte papers indicate that I won't need the margin hack soon. I made some profiles with "Other Fine Art 1" settings. Canon MBK (genuine LUCIA) does not adhere on the cast papers I...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    It seems to me on the PRO-10 the black level of PK is enhanced considerably with the CO coating (the latter not been absorbed fast enough on my casts papers and puddling/smearing). And to have sufficiently high gamut on matte papers you need to use the "Fine Art" settings. These not only use...

    Printing on cast paper with the PRO-10

    Sadly enough Aldi doesn't sell it's famous (and cheap) RC paper anymore. For my calendars I need 100-150 A4's every year. So I searched for leftovers in my stock and found cast papers of different (or no) brands. (these papers have a cardboard back where you can write on with a pencil, while RC...

    WIN 11 migration - dinosaur printers ??

    I have the PRO-9500 II and PRO-10 (not the -S model) on WIN11 without any issues. The PRO-10 prints (as does the Maxify) also via Wifi from a laptop with 2024H2 and Android phones and tablet. PRO-100 should work also. Merry Christmas !
