I have several timing strips from deceased Canon printers, including one for a Pro-9000, but I'm quite sure that the Pro-10 uses a different model. A quick search online found no timing strips for modern Canon Pro printers, only for the Pro-9000 and 9500.

It might be the cartridge and not the ink. Maxify carts, even OEM, are pretty "temperamental". In my case, no clogs with third part Inktec ink. Only when a cartridge is replaced sometimes I need to perform an extra cleaning cycle, because the magenta or the yellow bands in the nozzle tests are...

Good job ! :) I wonder if gluing a short length of an old timing slit over the damaged part would be a good idea for a reliable fix. Anyway, I've started to search spare Pro-10 timing strips out there ..:D

Question 1 : I believe you're mixing the concepts of color spaces and printer profiles, The driver properties work with printer profiles. Color spaces are directly managed by Photoshop in the 'adjust color', 'asign profile' and 'convert profile' tabs of the Edit menu. 'Standard' in the Canon...

I got into 3D printing thanks to this forum and it seems to have on me the same effects that on Nifty and The Hat. I don't print photos for me anymore. Only by 'special' order' of my close relatives and that isn't often. My Pro10 sits on a rack, idle 99.999% of the time, but I try to keep it in...

I suspect that the poor results using matte paper settings are because the printer uses dye black and not pigment black. Dye black on glossy paper performs as expected, but on matte paper gives dull images, lacking in contrast. I haven’t a service manual for the MG-5550, but in the manual of...

Of course a custom profile is mandatory if you want colors as close as possible to OEM CLI-42 carts,

I did time ago, searching a cure for insomnia.

USB powered rants last forever..

As you suppose, that hack isn't boldly advertised by Qimage, so probably Canon knows nothing about it. I don't recall how it came to my attention Possibly in one of Jose Rodriguez livestreams ?. Also, somebody here explained how it worked ( @palombian ? ). QImage doesn't say anything either...

But this is the 'forum rants' thread, isn't ? :p

I only use it because of the hack that allows to bypass the large margins settings for fine-art/matte papers on my Canon Pro-10s. Yes, Qimage's user interface is nothing to write home about, to put it mildly, and no way it can replace Photoshop.

Of course, you get eight or ten alkalines for the price of one silver oxide. but if changing the battery is tricky you don't want to do it often. This is the case with one of my wristwatches. Removing the bottom lid to change the battery is a PITA. How long will work a LR41 battery on a resetter...

Be aware also that if you're using Qimage, this software has the annoying 'feature' of disabling 'advanced printing capabilities' on the printer used by the program. So, every time you close Qimage, you have to go to control panel -> devices and printers, right click on the printer icon, select...

I suppose you're aware that batteries whose ref. starts with 'A' or 'L' are alkaline while those starting with 'S' are silver oxide. Both types have a similar initial voltage, so they would be totally interchangeable .. but not quite. Under load, the electrical tension of alkaline batteries...

Yes, tell us ... we want to know what type of batteries did you use .. :hide

If we had known twenty years ago what Canon had in mind for the future, when the first generation of Pixmas was released, instead of purchasing a single Pixma IP4000/5000, we’d got three or four printers along with a dozen of spare printheads. No more worries about resetting chips/waste ink pad...

If you can buy a new printer for not much more than a set of OEM carts, probably Canon doesn't makes any profit, but they won't loose much money either. Meaning : cheap build = low duty and low reliability on a mid term basis. These entry models are targeted at the casual user who makes a few...

Feldrod, by what you say, the trouble is with the black nozzles.. or it's also with the CMY colors ?. It would help us to diagnose the problem if you posted here a nozzle test, preferably a good scan of the page, not a photo. If you want my opinion, your present MB5150 seems to be the best...

I'm running a version of Win-10 from 2019 and I have no wish of upgrading (?) to Win-11. If nothing prevents it, that WIn10-1903 will be my last O.S, Probably there's still a lot of people using without issues Win-Vista, Win-7 or even Win-XP.
