I think that you guys are over-thinking this whole thing. Just remove the printhead & cartridges and store them in ziplock bag or similar. Be careful with the vibration on the bumpy road, and you'll be good to go.

It should HELP to remedy your situation. Since you've already introduced air into the internal system, it may take a while to get it out even after the carts are purged.

What has your internet search turned up? If you are getting no replies that means that most likely nobody has experience with these carts which is why I haven't responded to your thread.

Every guide I've ever seen said that it is best to have a fully dry profile target, which makes the most sense to me. By profiling before the target is really dry you may get colors that are more "pleasing" to your eye, but I can't see how they could possibly be more accurate.

Is there an "ICM" setting in the printer driver somewhere? If so, you can set a default profile in Windows for the printer to use.

Thanks for the tip. I always appreciate knowing when good sales are going on. Especially those like the Staples Supreme Photo Paper for $0.50 after rebate! :)

I think that profiling a matt photo paper or heavy inkjet paper will get you close enough results. Its not like you're going to get a huge gamut anyways... you're just basically wanting to adjust for the aftermarket ink.

Precision Colors is an excellent choice. I would probably order more ink however unless you're not sure if you really want to refill or not.

? I don't think so.

You are correct that the inks are different. But if you are refilling/using custom profiles it doesn't really matter.

You can in fact use CLI-8 cartridges in the BCI printers. I tried it in a IP6000D that I had and it worked fine. The iP6600D is a 6 color CLI-8 photo printer. (Just giving another option)

Mikling, I have an MP980 and it appears to me that the gray cartridge is indeed used in color printing as well as B&W. In my printer printing mostly (90%) color photos the gray cartridge is getting used at a slightly faster rate than the cyan/magenta cartridges. This is using the printer...

I'm sorry I didn't come across clearly... I was just just joking (hence the :) ). I do always use the highest quality setting available and either the Photo Paper Pro II or Photo Paper Platinum setting in the print driver.

See my response to your other post. Does the Canon utility have a specified color target to scan against?

Profile Prism does use a scanner, and the scan quality is VERY important. How it knows what the colors should be is that you scan a standardized color target (IT8) side by side with your target print. It then creates the profile based on that scan. It has worked well for me. I have profiled...

Both the Pro9000 & Epson 2200 work on Windows 7 x64. That's what I'm running currently. If speed is top priority then the 2200 is not your printer. I would only get one if print longevity is a top priority.

The Epson 2200 is a good pigment printer. It is much slower (about 25% as fast) as your pro9000, although with a waste ink tank it should in theory last longer than the pro9000. (SHAMELESS PLUG) My highly used Epson 2200 just died last night. I have about $150 worth of ConeColor ink and a set...

Well... I guess that my fun is over. The Epson 2200 fried itself tonight. I have printed probably 400-500 photos (some 4x6, some 8x10). Today I printed about 20 4x6s, then 2-3 8x10s following that. It got about 90% through the last 8x10 when the printer stopped communicating with the...

Does the Pro9000 ever really use the red & green cartridges? :) :) :) Just kidding... They do get used, about 1/10th as fast as the others.

Joseph, it is not indicated in your profile where you are from. This information would be helpful in providing you with some sources the necessary supplies.
