    Does old ink cause this? (PC ink)

    Hi everyone, hope all is well around here in the US and around the globe. I have been printing (in the past) with my Pro 100 and Precision Color inks with great results until now. The ink set I have was bought back in 2015. I never had any reddish or magenta tint issues, but I also haven't...

    setting up a dedicated Pro 100

    Yes this may be a beat to death topic, but i am unclear on the "setup Cartridge" requirements. This past August we lost out little girl of 12 1/2 years and while still grieving, i have dedicated the picture printing of her memories to use a new printer i have and will be using OEM ink to obtain...

    Canon ip6600d printhead evaluation please.

    Please take a look at this nozzle check, although it's obvious what's going on, i am not sure if it is permanent damage or not. Started going bad last weekend. Did a nozzle check and only one stripe. Took the PM cartridge out and dribbled Windex on the inlet of the PM port...........let sit for...

    Canon CLI-42 "EU only" setup carts

    Somehow i ended up buying another Pro 100 tonight (gotta love Canon rebate sellers) and it came with the carts shown in the pic. What does it mean? Europe Only? Seems odd for these to be in USA circulation with camera deals.

    Goof Off again with the Canon CLI-42

    Reading the topic posted this past week in regards to cleaning the yellow carts for the Pro 100 got me thinking again. Not obsessed with having to use the CLI-42Y, but having a few of these carts now opens up the experimenting mode in my head. Have just gone thru 2 by cleaning with Windex...

    Goof Off saved 2 printheads

    Having a clogged printhead on my I900D going off and on to be just OK using conventional cleaning methods spurred me into buying another head. Same goes for an i6600D that i picked up locally for 30 bucks. The 6600 had been used by the seller a few years ago until it ran out of ink, and was then...

    Advice on IP6600D-Pro-100 print colors comparison

    hey gang, first let me say that having been printing off and on for the last 10 years i understand the need for screen calibration and have done so, and i do not get to crazy with "exact match" in my prints other than to be as close as what i call eye appealing. My old I900D gave me great...
