    Refill Ink for IP8700 Series Printer

    Hi Wim - I'm happy to share the profiles for comparative purposes but I strongly doubt that they'll be of any use for actual printing. I use TurboPrint which uses it's own colour mapping - different from (I would contend better than) that used by Canon. The profiles work fine in that...

    Refill Ink for IP8700 Series Printer

    Welcome. Bit of a pity - a lot of paper, ink and time went into this evaluation and I anticipated some interest. Perhaps a tad too detailed? - dunno! :rolleyes:

    Refill Ink for IP8700 Series Printer

    OK - so the results are in. Flushed empty CLI-651 cartridges and after replacing the factory chips with auto-reset chips, refilled with Canon GI-63 (aka GI-23/53/73 etc) ink. Generally very positive results. Had anticipated possible deficiencies resulting from the absence of the red channel that...

    Refill Ink for IP8700 Series Printer

    I will Peter - I've still half a dozen or so full sets of cartridges here but now have the GI-63 bottles on the shelf for when they expire - at which time I'll build new profiles and report back.

    Refill Ink for IP8700 Series Printer

    Has anyone evaluated Canon's GI-63 bottle inks used with the G660 Megatank printer for refilling the CLI-651 (551, 251 etc depending on region) carts in the IP8700 Series printer? I have been using the GI-63GY for some time and have found it to be just about identical to ink in the CLI-651GY (or...

    Canon IP8700 Magenta Fading Issue

    Thanks for the reply - the fault was indeed with the printhead notwithstanding that it was almost new. There appears to gave been an internal air leak between the cyan and magenta channels so what you might call the "hydraulic integrity" was compromised. This actually affected both channels but...

    Canon IP8700 Magenta Fading Issue

    Hi all - I'm having a problem with an IP8760 printer where the magenta channel intermittently fades out with printing continuing with the other inks only. Printing a nozzle check confirms the absence of magenta, as does printing a magenta purge patch. Replacing the magenta cartridge has no...

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    Certainly not the case around these parts - or any of the various countries I've visited or lived in (except the USA - and the UK that seems to use that weird hybrid mix of imperial and metric ;))

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    Well that's where we differ. That statement may be true from a USA perspective, and that of a couple of other countries, but not so for the rest of the world - and is why the metric system is referred to as Système International. My suggestion responds to crenedecotret's call for comments...

    [Tool] ChromIQ – a macOS and Windows GUI for ArgyllCMS printer profiling (v3.13.0-beta)

    Sure looks to be - very smooth. Makes yaaw look pretty basic I must admit. But a genuinely impressive piece of work. Congrats & thanks!

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    Without checking the code, I'm guessing that paper sizes are not hard coded but are being pulled from printer properties? - because I'm seeing a bunch of options including A paper sizes in the properties box next to the printer name so I'm guessing that the paper sizes are already being served...

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    I don't see a problem with specifying borders in points - but setting image sizes in inches just feels clunky - sorry ;). Millimetres or fractional centimetres feel more appropriate when laying out several smaller images to fit a single page size - but perhaps that's just me! I printed with...

    YAAW - Yet Another Argyll Wrapper

    Hmm - is late here and I need to sleep - but the bad news is that the update broke the Linux port - which previously was working OK. Note that the HOW_TO_BUILD needs updating - it still refers to the macOS commands - but notwithstanding that, I managed to get a successful build, but it wasn't a...

    YAAW - Yet Another Argyll Wrapper

    ChromIQ looks really good - much easier on the eye than yaaw. Congratulations!! I managed to build it under linux - the only real glitch was the use of the sips and iconutil tools in your build step 3 that are specific to macOS. For a debian based linux install and with a little AI assistance, I...

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    Very impressive results - compiled up cleanly and does what it says on the box. Congratulations! - we've moved into a new era of code development eh? A suggestion on behalf of potential users outside the US - perhaps you might consider incorporating metric measurements as an alternative (or...

    I strongly suggest that you examine Turboprint. A trial version is available on the zedo website.

    YAAW - Yet Another Argyll Wrapper

    Yes - it is a little weird isn't it? I suspect that several of us had persevered with Argyll longhand, then via various shell scripts etc, before realizing that AI and python could help to transform our scripts into a proper UI - and from there, all bets were off. At least that was my journey...
