    Help trying to solve blurry/double black text when only in the "Plain Paper" setting (using a photo paper setting comes out perfect)

    As an additional way to reduce heating duty to your print head, select "Quite Mode" or "Night Mode" in the Canon driver, and always use it. Printing will be slower, and the print head will cool itself faster. You can also increase the "Drying Time" in the driver to allow a pause between...

    Help trying to solve blurry/double black text when only in the "Plain Paper" setting (using a photo paper setting comes out perfect)

    Your PGBK nozzle plate has either become distorted or worn badly (ink is "spitting" in two different directions instead of one). I've had the exact same issue with several Canon printers. PGBK ink is only used for black text and line drawings. PDF documents tend not to use PGBK. You could...

    Canon PRO-100 or PRO-100s Waste Ink Pads full?

    The best "solution" is to purchase a new, but parted out, PRO-100 printer from a internet seller (particularly if you can avoid shipping costs). Parted out means the inks and printhead have been removed from the box and sold seperately. This was quite common when those fantastic Canon rebates...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    I'm hunkered down at home ten miles outside of Laramie. All is well, we always have stuff on hand like we are LDS members (we are not). Roads are closed due to winter weather anyhow. I walk, hike about 5 miles a day with the dog. Social distancing is a way of life, here. That said, here's...

    No black Ink and Print head problem

    Typically, 5 orange blinks infer the print head is not detected, or the EEPROM data in the print head is faulty. You might also get an error report screen on your connected computer... I would remove the i990's print head, clean the contacts lightly with a pencil eraser, and re-install it . All...

    Me and Carnegie Hall

    You welcome. It was actually about 15 degrees F cooler in NYC than in Laramie during that time. The very friendly, bundled-up locals keep asking how I and the wife (and the others from my choir) withstood the chill with just sweatshirts. Wusses, you gotta be tough... No need to get on a...

    Me and Carnegie Hall

    It was a 4 night trip for me and the wife to midtown Manhattan, staying in the Park Central Hotel across the street from Carnegie Hall. Three rehearsals in the hotel and a final sound/rehearsal check in the hall before the performance. The ensemble was a formation of 14 invited choirs from...

    Canon PRO-100 or PRO-100s Waste Ink Pads full?

    Now we need a "Printer Potty" kit for the PRO-100. Anybody listening?? It might be a tough "dig" to install, though...

    It does have raw capture but there isn't really that much to improve on from the jpeg (perhaps a stop and a fraction). If I were to use it in bracketing, it slows own writing speed and the rapidness of exposures (as well as adding a significant processing step using RawTherapee). Someday, I...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    Thanx. It's an combination of 3 different quick JPEG exposures (High Dynamic Range) of +2, 0, and -2 stops. My point-and-shoot Canon has a dedicated (bracketing) setting that does this. This overcomes the tendency of small sensors (and JPEG capture) to produce incomplete exposure of the...
