To finish off the evening, here is my currently used profile for the same paper, done with argyllcms and my colormunki. I'm not 100% sure but I think the datacolor device might be dealing with OBAs a little better. The softproof on my munki profile has a tinge of yellow as the paper color but...

No prints done yet but the profiling seems to work from Spyderprint to argyll. Here are the steps 1. Export your spyderprint measurements to LAB. I used a very old measurement file. 2. Use Notepad++ to replace all tabs by spaces or argyllcms will not accept the input 3. add a "d" and a linefeed...

My apologies.. Patch #223 was incorrect. I mistyped some information while creating my reference files The attached files are correct Perhaps someone with an older spyderprint will be able to get some use out of it. I got mine for 25$ CDN on ebay as a backup device

Attached is an ArgyllCMS version of the spyderprint 225 patch chart. To do this, I pulled all the RGB values from the original chart and ran them through xicclu to get xyz values. These are needed to have a rough idea of what the expected result is when read back with chart read. I then used...

Wow sorry. You did mention using Photoshop.. My bad :)

This is pretty interesting! I have both a colormunki and an old spyderprint. I was considering trying to convert the values from the Spyder test chart for ti1/ti2 files for argyllcms My reasoning is that the Spyder hardware is reportedly not that bad. I always wanted to try to find a way to...

Canon IP4500 to give away. I had replaced it because one of the color channels quit working and no amount of cleaning would bring it back. Free to anyone who needs parts but buyers pays shipping. I'm in Canada but willing to ship anywhere provided tracking is used.

I bought a pack last week and toyed around with it. I think it may be the same as the previous double-sided matte. The new package does not say but it is inkjet coated on both sides and is the same size mil/gsm. I ran a profile with ArgyllCMS, using the Ultra Premium Matte Paper setting on...

The CIS route could be tempting, but I would assume the same ARC chips are used than on the refillables, where you need to remove/reinsert the carts to have them register as full. I have a feeling eventually the valves on the cart would give out and this same annoying problem would return. I...

Did you every resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem. I suspect air could be making it's way into the printhead or cartridge

Hi everyone, I had not used my R2000 printer in a while. Started using it again last week. Made some beautiful prints from my trip to Europe last year. When my cartridges hit "empty", I removed them, filled them and reset the chips (these are battery powered carts from Precision Colors). Half...

For my WP-4090 I just picked up a set of cheap refillables off aliexpress and use cheap dye ink. Never had any problems. But buying from China is always a gamble. You may have to fight a bit with the seller if you get bad chip, etc. I was in no rush for the Workforce Pro so could accept that...

If you are looking strictly for black and white prints, have you considered using a black and white inkset in your Epson 1400? search for piezography K6 or K7 on Google you may find something you like.

Simply tell the printer that you are using a photo paper rather than plain paper.

To be honest, I dont know... I've not had to install these drivers. My older Canon scanner works just fine with xsane or simplescan (they scan to images or PDF). I'd recommend you try and report back (the info may be useful to others)

Canon has Linux drivers on their web site in both .DEB (Debian/Ubuntu) and .RPM (Fedora/RHEL). There is Scangear package as well http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mg6620#DriversAndSoftware

I wouldn't expect you to pay for shipping :) Send me a PM, i'll give you my home address so we can check the cost.

bluecrabby, I have an IP4500 here that needs a printhead... (or maybe like your printer something else is wrong). If you want to get rid of them let me know. I have other printers, but always nice to have another working one.

I'm surprised no one suggested to try the Canon ink in the brother printer... ;) I wouldnt be surprised to see it work since Piezo heads are somewhat forgiving.

congrats websnail. beautiful baby and I love the pic with her protective older brother. How old is he? I myself have two kids with quite an age difference... my younger one is 10 months old, and my older one is 10 years. You will love watching these two interract. It's already obvious just...
