Understood. Will not play with Epson ink in Canon printer. Thank you

NO WAY Sounds interesting ... maybe it needs to be tested

RE Epson did a step function improvement for the lightfastness of the HD inks vs. the K3 inks, but Canon went the opposite way My question is .... If Epson OEM pigment inks are longer lasting than Canon, can I put them in my Pro-1000? Or ... phrased another way ... are Epson colours the same...

Quote Since you have to flush a lot of OEM ink before refilling it with 3th party (at least if you want the colors right, that's what you bought this thing for), and the ink alone is about what you paid for the printer, why would you do this ? There is not much OEM ink in it. Maybe it is empty...

Interesting. To make sense of the numbers, this image provides a visual, and compares 355 x 584 (Canon 9500) with 432 x 610mm (Canon Pro 1000). Quote (Artur5) Margins are fine for me, as I need a bit of space around the image. Quote (Artur5) Lets see how long it takes for me to break it...

Almost the same size. Presuming my paper length is 61cm (24 inch). (Prints will be sized to fit 61cm/24 inch and whatever the width variable is depending on printer). Sample below is a visual indicating the difference between 35.5cm width (as you state above) for the 9500 (top), and 43cm for...

Ahhh ... that makes me feel better (if you are correct). This is what caused the panic (presumably the info is wrong) ... Quote Despite being an A3+ (329 x 483 mm) printer, the driver actually supports a paper size of 431.8 x 558.8 mm, which is almost A2 size. So, if you have a roll of paper...

You are correct, and I am a bit stupid because i own (if not stolen .... likely in Greece, because the country is knee deep in thieves) both a Canon 9500 plus the model before it ... maybe a 9000. The reason I feel stupid today is because I know the Canon 9500 is an A3+ printer, and now I think...

RE - A2 format is only slightly larger than the maximum paper size a PRO-9500 ... can handle Yes, paper size is not significantly larger than A3+ (ill do

Agree. Will test and confirm anyway. If printed photo is put outside for a month without protection, this may provide an indication of what to expect under nicer conditions. I've read about the yellow, and wonder why they are unable to get it right. A useful test would be to examine yellow...

Ink Stained Fingers wrote (on another page) - not aware of any relevant information about the performance of 3rd party pigment inks - all those Inktec - precisioncolors - Conecolors etc inks Lack of information leads to guesswork. Ink suppliers unable / unwilling to test their own products...

ADD .... Concern about longevity, fading. In 1990 I purchased some of the first digital imaging equipment in the world. The fastest computer speed at that time was 25 (compared to around 3000 today), and the largest hard drive available was 400mb (Megabytes). My math may be rusty, but that...

Hi, The reason for asking is to seek info. My opinion is the Korean ink factory is likely to produce a good product (why wouldn’t they?) It seems to me, this 3rd party ink is fine (on the intended paper). Two people have noted bronzing on glossy paper (of no concern to me, but maybe of...

Yes, that’s what I understand, and convenient to reduce the number of cartridges required. Therefore, it seems the 3rd party pigment might be OK (when used with Matte paper), but we do not yet have fading stats (and the distributor didn’t seem to have any, and wasn’t interested in supplying ink...

RE - probably will need a custom profile if correct colours is a concern. Well ….. i've always done things the wrong way, and too late to change now. Instead of a custom profile (are maybe as well as), I intend to get the file ready, and then make ten variations. Print that, choose the best...

As you can probably guess, I don’t really know what I am doing. Blundering along is fine for now. Hadn't noticed the difference in the Canon ink. Will keep eyes peeled in the future.

Thanks. Becoming cheaper as I learn. Have already ordered a mixture of expired ink ….. completely lost …. But various original and cheap ordered. When I feel like it, i'll see colours are missing and hunt those down. Scale found, used … less than 10 Euro.

Wow. That’s an easy solution and great advice (and cheap). Thanks for that. OK … (Weight the new carts before use) … I’ll buy a little scale.

Thank you for the info. (Mr. Fingers also mentioned the bronzing). As I shall be printing on Matt paper (only), my understanding is this potential problem does not apply (and I don’t require Chrome Optimizer or Photo Black Ink … as far as I know). According to your experience, this ink sounds...
