Short answer (search yourself on this forum or ask your AI companion making us old guys obsolete ;)). This message indicates the internal counter is at 100%. You can find on eBay hacks for the Canon service tools. Verify if the tool is recent enough and your printer is supported if not it...

As far as I understood the (paid) Calibrite Profiler 3 seems to be released in the first part to support recent Mac OS versions (no experience). As already mentioned, all historic software releases continue to work on the latest Windows 25H2, so until now there is no need to buy Profiler 3 (as...

Anyway, it will make you sick when you see "how the printer waste it's ink", so don't do it. Use the printer for photos, posters, booklets or whatever enjoyable project. Regarding inks, octoink.co.uk is IMO the best 3th party solution in Europe, for good PBK adherence on glossy photo paper you...

You got it right letting time do the work ! But what makes you think you need a potty for a printer with only 650 pages ?

It is up to you to believe what Canon (doesn't) tell you or what you can find (with proof) on this forum ;).

PFI-1000 will work (I buy the CO, expensive but good), as ink from previous large format printers. The ink set is different, but for most 3th party inks you need custom profiles too. PS: PRO-10 GY is indeed rather dark, I tried to make it with large format PGY and PBK but needed more BK than GY.

Seems to back in stock here (although not cheap): https://www.printerspareparts.co.uk/products/canon-qy6-0085-replacement-printhead eparts.fr doesn't have it anymore, but this one seems thrustworthy: https://www.imprimantes.fr/qy6-0085-p-17448.html also in Germany no more (official) sellers)...

to all printer enthousiasts here. My printers and their boss are fine. Happy printing

It is not clear to me what printer must be refilled, but I buy GI-56 bottles to refill the cartridges of my Maxify. This works flawlessly (all Maxify's have the same printhead) but I had mixed results with Canon large format Lucia inks (BK is fine, but C,M an Y tend to clog).

After all the PRO-1 is just an oversophisticated A3+ printer. The day my PRO-10 (and the spare one and a new printhead in the box...) fails I would consider an Epson ET-8550. Too late now for the PRO-10 route I think.

I wonder where your colleague in France gets his (claimed Inktec) ink from: https://www.topcartouches.fr/9791-inktec

I would try to find a used Colormunki/i1Studio. And start now by securing the install files before they vanish completely from the web.

Yes, the original Colormunki still works perfectly on WIN10/11. Sadly since last month the software isn't downloadable anymore from Xrite (Photo, later called i1Studio), officially you should now buy a license from Calibrite (Profiler 3, about 50-60 $/€). So try to find one with the install disk...

Most probably the claimed reduction in head cleanings (and ink consumption) is simply because they exagerated in previous models, and experienced the printhead introduced with the PRO-10 almost never clogs. So it's easy to say "...while working to prevent print waste due to banding" . This...

One of the reasons I switched to Canon large format (pigment) inks to refill my PRO-10 was the scratch resistance. In particular 3th party PBK did not adhere on glossy papers. I've even seen GY from a German supplier you could blow away from the paper. With the Canon ink I print on every kind of...

Nozzle switching on larger format printers (from PRO-1000 on) seems to be based on reserve nozzles. I wonder how it is done on the PRO-310, since this printhead is not originally designed for. PS: seems it is done in software: >For efficiency, a nozzle recovery system works to help ensure that...

You might have to clean (gently) the contacts in the printhead too (with a cotton swab and alcohol).

This guy (who bought the Südhaus dye ink license) also sells Inktec for Canon and Epson.

Chroma Optimiser was introduced by Canon on the PRO-10. This removed most of the objections against pigment ink on glossy papers, PRO 300/310 did not add anything at this point. As a long time PRO-10 user, I would seriously consider the Epson ET-8550 if I had to start over. PRO 300/310 no way.
