Okay great thanks for the reply and the advice! :)

I have been using a Canon Pixma Pro 100s for a couple of years now to print custom posters, stickers etc that I sell as a serious hobby. I switched from the OEM inks almost straight away to using inks from a company called OctoInk (I'm in the UK). I didn't clean out the ink cartridges first, I...

I have a hobby that I also use to make some extra cash and that is making stickers for toys. I currently have a Pixma Pro 100s with third party replacement inks. I normally use white vinyl sticker material to print on but get the odd request for stickers on a transparent medium. So far I haven't...

I'm probably not being clear in what I'm asking....so this Canon website: https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/PrinterDriver/W/MG2500 series/1.0/EN/PPG/dg-c_color_correction03.html The first paragraph states: Printing with ICC Profiles When the image data has a specified input ICC profile, you...

Hi yes I know it's not a printer profile, what I mean is that even if I install the Adobe .icc file, it's not selectable anywhere even though it's in the right directory.

Can you tell me where you got the adobe.icm profile from? I've been trying to get the Adobe ones but even from their own website they don't seem to work. If you go here: https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/iccprofiles/icc_eula_win_end.html It allows you to download a .zip file with a load...

I've been trying to get my Canon Pixma Pro 100s to print in Adobe RGB colour gamut instead of sRGB. I spent a lot of time trying to download and install the AdobeRGB .icc file but it never seemed to work (can't select it from Printer Profile in the driver and the only .icc file I can get from...

I'm due to go away for 2 weeks at the back end of August and am wondering if there's anything I can do to help prevent my print head from clogging due to not being used for that time. I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s inkjet and have been told that up to one week without use it normally fine but two...

I've downloaded the AdobeRGB.icc file from Adobe and have placed the file in the following folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color Which I understand is the correct place. In fact I've got a couple of custom .icc profiles installed in there and they seem to be working properly. The...

Okay this is probably going to be a fairly long post so bear with me (I'll to a tl,dr at the end :D ) So as a side hobby / business I make custom stickers for Lego sets. I design them using Inkscape, export the images as .png and then import them into a package called Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL for...

So I've been looking into the PrintFab software as a way to print more saturated colours. Before I go tinkering around with it I want to go over my situation here and ask some advice (if anyone on here knows how to use PrintFab), I design custom stickers for Lego sets. I design them in a...

Okay thanks I'll check it out! :D

Does anyone know if tear proof (or at least tear resistant) paper exists for inkjet printers?

Random question but does anyone know if it's possible to print a pdf file in Adobe RGB rather than sRGB (I assume the latter is the default). I did used to have a method where I imported the pdf file into Adobe Illustrator and then printed from there, as AI gives you full control over printing...

My print preview option has stopped working in all the applications I use for print jobs (e.g. Inkscape, Illustrator, a few other programs). The Print Preview option is definitely ticked in the driver - it's the first thing I checked, then double and triple checked. However when I send a job for...

Hi, no not really had problems due to leaving the printer unused before, just read / seen general advice that leaving a printer more than a week increases the risk of clogs. I've have issues with clogging before but this was with a print head that was between 4-5 years old and had been used a...

Hi all, i'm due to go away for three weeks soon and I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s printer (dye based ink). Normally I make sure to print something every 2-3 days at least, just to keep ink flowing through the print head and to reduce the chance of clogs. However this obviously isn't going to be...

Ah okay I didn't want to risk breaking it but it sounds less risky than I thought. I will investigate, thanks! :)

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I'd want to risk cleaning it myself but there are any number of printer maintenance companies near where I live so I'll contact them and ask about it. :-)

My Canon Pixma Pro 100s suddenly started leaving a black smudge on the trailing edge of the page when printing, always in the middle and always about the same size / amount of ink. I've tried running the bottom plate cleaning and roller cleaning cycles several times but it didn't solve the...
