I have a Mustek Scanexpress A3, a very basic machine but all others cost 10 times more. The scan wagon blocks regularly. It glides on one side on a round bar as the printhead in a printer, the other side is just a plastic slider. It is also pressed by a spring against the underside of the glass...

Not bad ! Happy Newyear, Hat ;)

No regret, I have more paper than I ever will use (and ink for at least 2 years). After printing my 2023 calendars (8x12 A4) I still have 4 boxes of 50 sheets Expertiz 300g bought 2 years ago. I also make photo books from time to time, but why not try to print them on the double side papers I...

I never could make profiles for other people since I never did the effort to master ArgyllCMS :eek: . But it saves a lot on ink and paper. Bought last week a box full of good papers, all unopened (Hahnemuhle, Ilford, Canon...) for a song. My stock of Aldi glossy is dwindling and I am afraid...

No problem with this old hardware. Here it is connected on the USB2 hub of my EIZO CS2420 monitor. Only warning: Colornavigator 7.1.8 is the last software supporting the Colormunki (this is not really an issue, but keep a copy of the installation software). Best wishes !

I finally upgraded my PC (for one or another reason Windows never took the initiative, although the hardware is compliant) , it was really very easy. The first time I left all peripherals connected, the upgrade failed and returned gently to Windows 10. With only a screen, keyboard and mouse...

I recently ditched the octopus-office.de magenta since it started to show less dense lines in the nozzle check. Not really clogs, the dots were lighter and adjacent lines darker. It went away with GI-56 M. ARC chips behave well until now.

Indeed, the cyan is far from OK, but with good ink maybe recoverable. I've always been extremely paranoiac on the nozzle checks, inspecting them with a magnifying glass. You must see every dot ! PS: I don't know where you are located, but I never had any problem with octoinkjet.co.uk cyan (or...

I would not exaggerate with cleaning solutions, ammonia is a measure of last resort. Long soaking in inoffensive products (as a drop of dish washing liquid in a bottom of deminaralized water) is often the best solution. Once you see improvement in the cyan, a few nozzle checks every day keeps...

Very interesting observation, @Artur5, could be added to the PRO-10 geriatric symptoms list. Just guessing: if it isn't an internal leak (although probably since the colours are adjacent) the only other explanation is migration via the purge pad. But in this case it would rather be a mix of...

Never seen that. Seems Cyan ink contaminates the CO channel. It looks like partly clogged too. How does the outlet maze of the CO cart looks like ? If not blank replace. What kind of CO do you use (most 3th party are rather poor IMO), maybe you should try an OEM one. I would start by rinsing...

What's wrong ? There have been issues with the background xrite service.

Agree, the ink in the printhead will dissolve the last impurities. Do a few nozzle checks every day. Enjoy your printer and take care of it, you won't find anything better to refill.

Photo Colorpicker is part of the original Colormunki Photo application. A very nice feature. Seems to be available for download here: https://www.xrite.com/service-support/downloads/c/colormunki-photo-124 I still have this software on my computer for the Colorpicker although I use i1Studio for...

Not very kind from this buyer. I have my printers registered at the Canon website just as all my photo gear. Serials numbers help to prove ownership.

@chores : Your nozzle check is not bad at all. Let the printer switched on overnight and do a few nozzle checks the next morning. Most probably the PBK will clean itself without further cleaning cycles after a few days. Eventually do one or maximum two normal cleanings, avoid deep cleaning...

:D

I have a flush clip but only use it to - well "flush" ;) - cartridges, I find it too cumbersome for refilling (how to determine the exact volume, what with the excess ? I never put ink back in the bottle to avoid contamination). Never had problems with the dripping method, except with the...

The air can be removed by squeezing the cart gently after refilling until only ink comes out and no foam. You can see when there is air when the ink absorption slows at the end of the dripping (one of the reasons I use this method). Octo GY can be a bit critical on flow, but I only experienced...

Colormunki is priceless :thumbsup This one has much better reds. The greys are darker, is this with PGI-72GY ? As far as I remember octo GY is lighter, but I had no problems with it as far as I didn't swap without reprofiling (the only colours I could exchange with OEM without colour issues are...
