Hi, Thanks for the reply. I will have a look, it might be of help! I also found this, which is why I thought you can apply ICC profile via the driver, which I gather is something quite unusual for most printers:

Hi all, I've been having problems getting the output of my Canon Pixma Pro 100s to match what's on my monitor (which has been calibrated so it's not that). I've found a UK based company that will make a custom ICC profile based on a print out that you send them. However the design software I...

Hi all, So I bought Canon's G5050 printer on the grounds that although the printer itself is a bit pricey it has very cheap running costs. The fact that Canon claim you can get up to 7,700 colour pages from each ink set was what sold it to me. So far I have printed out MAYBE 200 pages...

Hi Mr Hat, thanks for the advice. I will pass it on and see if he has any luck. :-)

About a week ago I sold my 18 month old Canon Pixma Pro 10s to someone who wants to use it to print on art-type canvas. He contacted me this morning saying although the front tray works fine, he can't get it to print via the manual feed at the rear. He says he's following the right process but...

Thanks guys :-)

That's great, thanks for the reply. :-) Just reading about the Canon G series...lot of complaints about the longevity of the printheads it seems...?

Hi all, I currently have a side-hustle which is designing and printing vinyl stickers for a small home-run business. I create the stickers using a Canon Pixma Pro 100s which does a great job, plus is easy to reflill with some great quality third party inks (Precision Colors). What I need...

Hi Mr Hat, Thanks for the quick reply. I actually ran the cleaning cycle a few more times, waited a day or two, printed, cleaned, printed again (and again). This was the advice of the shop, to just keep printing and cleaning. It seems to have actually worked and the print looks normal now...

My Canon Pixma Pro 10s has started to print with bands of ink missing and also smudging / spattering the ink around the edges of whatever image / fonts it is printing. I have taken it to a printer repair shop and they informed me it is most likely a clogged / partially clogged nozzle (only does...

Hi all, I have a Pixma Pro 10S and am wanting to do a few canvas based prints. I've been advised to choose Fine Art Paper > Canvas in the set-up, mostly because if I don't then the printer will use photo black not matt black and the results won't be as good. HOWEVER - when I try to select paper...

Dunno. Guess I'm just a bad person. :plbb

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've posted another thread so before anyone points this out, there is a similar question to this but more detail, plus also a question about card stock. I appreciate the replies here though! :)

Hi, yes sorry I realise that but there is more info regarding the vinyl stickers and I also had a query about greeting card stock - hence the new thread!

Hi All, Just after some advice as it says in the title. Firstly I am after sheets of A4 glossy vinyl sticker paper as I am wanting to make some small labels that I will cut out my self. Secondly I am after glossy greeting card stock (whatever standard size of greeting card is) that is...

Ps I also ought to add that the Pixma Pro 10s uses pigment not dye-based inks. Not sure if this would make a difference or not?

Hi all, I am wanting to print out some small stickers on my Canon Pixma Pro 10s but do not know much about the quality of vinyl sticker paper that is out there. Has anyone done this and is there a recommended type? I have been using Canon's own Pro Platinum paper for photographs so far and the...

Reply to The Hat: you mention one issue with third party inks is the longevity, but I am not sure this would really be a problem, unless they deteriorate really fast? I am mostly wanting this business to sell things like greetings cards, calendars etc, so they "life-time" of the products...

Thanks for the replies all. Some really useful info there and lots to think about. :-)

Hi all, Myself and my other half have decided to try and turn our hobbies into a small business. I am into photography and she is into arts & crafts and is good at making greeting cards, calendars etc. We want to take high-quality and bespoke pictures and turn them into calendars for desks...
