Well, it's not Canon offering 50% off, it's just the intertube marketplace. eBay, Amazon, whatever. Don't forget, Canon does no differentiation between their dye inks printers and their pigment printers, insofar as appropriate papers. Presumably Canon believes this paper is equally or more...

As has been mentioned, but anyway will once again, my two biggest "tricks" to prevent disaster are: Put the bottle in the sink and keep it their while uncapped, and 2) when doing anything cyan or magenta read your bottle three times to make sure you aren't mixing up "Photo" with, well, "Not Photo."

Look for grafitti remover. A less radical paint remover, as it were.

Amazon has 13x19" Canon Platinum Pro PT-101. pack of 10 sheets for $17.45. Eligible for free shipping. It's the old packaging if you can live with that! Next lowest price is at least double. But you would get the new black box...

Update on Warm Baryta: After only about a week in a sleeve, serious loss of Dmax. Very puzzling, of course. My only theory is that not being microporous or swellable gel, the dye ink went deeper and deeper, leaving less on the surface. Obviously pigment inks hang out on the surface...

Sorry, nothing at all to do with profiles, especially with making the paper warm rather minimally. That's the point of warm tone papers, in a way. Take an image you like, and print it. Obviously the Dmin will never be the same as "pure" white, but we are talking differences of a few digits...

So I was running test prints on the papers I have to use as samples of what is available. I took a great B&W 1945 portrait of my mother (No wonder my father ditched another woman for her!) and printed it onto Inkpress Warm Baryta. The results were stunning! (I noted this in my thread asking...

Sigh. Is anyone disputing that? But at a price ratio of 10:1 or more, generics are perfectly good for many users.

In Mike I trust.

Actually, that guy might do quite well. There ARE plenty of third world women wanting that ticket to America or Canada and legal immigrant status. And the perception is - I don't want to start anything, but you know that at least the belief is true - that such women are less likely to be...

Well, sure, there's always a POSSIBLE downside like that. But I figure that Black and Grays are probably the least proprietary or problematic to formulate. As we all know from even the wet color print days to today, magenta is the color that still gives fits to formulators. It's always the...

So I've had my PRO-100 for a month, perhaps. I've printed - this is the scientific standard - a "heck of a lot" of prints. Mostly half sheets color for paper testing, some B&W. Oh, that's letter sized sheets. Perhaps it's only a few dozen color full sized sheets equivalent. True to...

I spent some time poking around on the intertubes trying to find out what Canon WF dye printers used. No hint of any inks being labeled Chromalife, plus or no plus. There were both five and six cartridge systems. What did annoy me is that on what blurb the dye inks were described as...

If you are using a printer for office work and non-critical images, I find nothing wrong with using generic Chinese cartridges, other than the environmental costs involved. You may find your colors just fine, or you may find them a touch off. Depending on paper, of course. I sort of think I...

Pixels are one thing that the average consumer can fixate on and easily compare A to B. It's been asinine for a long time unless you are cropping the bejesus out of an image or you are using "35 mm" to shoot for billboards or a really big wide format printer. But you know the average...

Yeah, I knew a woman who worked in billing for an anesthesiologist. She's seen billing for removal of a table leg and a light bulb. "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time................"

Oh, Lord. Here we go again........... I understand the risk. Each to their own. I've done it for some years w/o issue, maybe I'm smarter than the average bear. And last, it's my (meager) budget.

@guys: Thanks. The info on stopping the monitoring doesn't seem to be in the manual. Not that I couldn't be wrong........ I'm well aware of the danger of running nekkid without monitoring. Did that for many years on several printers. Due to my budget and the high cost of the CLI-42...

"Might be like Chromalife in bottles." Well, that would be sweet. A lot of profiling would be needed.

Well, that UV vs. Ozone see-saw certainly might explain some of the inconsistent results I sometimes get. As I reported about a month ago, the only swellable polymer paper still on the market is HP Everyday. Thin stock, but a shortage of profiles if you aren't using an HP printer, of course...
