    Is it real? Image Specialists is sold

    I have not been to this forum for a while. I don't know if this was discussed before. I just heard from a friend who said he saw an announcement back in May that Image Specialists was sold to another company in Florida. I do not see the announcement myself so I can't say if this is real...

    Difference of photos between Canon Pro9000 and Epson R2880

    Canon Pro9000 uses 8 colors of color dyes. Epson R2880 uses only 6 pigment colors plus light black and light light black. I did a comparison between photos printed by these two printers. I found that Canon Pro9000 still prints a little more vibrant on glossy photo paper. The difference is not...

    Changing Colors

    Out of curiosity I recently tested 3 Canon printers. One old, one not so old, and one that is pretty new. The old one is an ip4000. The not so old one is an ip4300 and the new one is an ip4700. All 3 printers have OEM ink carts in them. The photo paper I have on hand is a HP premium glossy photo...

    InkTec USA customer service

    Does anyone have problems with sales rep at InkTec USA in Los Angeles like I have? They do not respond to my emails asking for price information. I wanted to purchase bulk and asked if they offer wholesale. Never heard back from them again. I know I am probably too small to be interesting to them.

    What is happening to Canon inkjet printers?

    I have not been to computer stores for a while. When I did go to Fry's Electronics a few days ago I was really shocked to see that there was such a weak market presence of Canon inkjet printers. Canon for some extremely stupid reasons has discontinued consistently their best printers shortly...

    I have not seen ip4500 on sale for a long time. The price has been always above $100. Now it is on sale at Fry's in California. I believe the sale starts today and will end next Tuesday. There is no rebate required to get to the price of $89. I paid $79 after a $20 rebate for IP4300 a year ago...

    I think it's a Canon print head flaw

    I have had my ip4300 for at least 6 months. Everything worked fine until I got some empty PGI-5 cartridges and refilled them. The used empty PGI-5 cartridges may have been put aside for a long time before I got them. I found that these dried PGI-5 cartridges won't work when refilled. Nozzle...

    Ip4300 does not detecting empty ink tank

    This may not be new to owners of Canon new printers with CLI8 and PGI5 ink cartridges. I just witnessed that the optical empty ink tank detection mechanism of my ip4300 not detecting an empty PGI5 tank. The tank may have been out of ink for a few hours at least but the printer never gave me any...

    Manufacturer's Patent Right on Used and Sold Ink Cartridges

    I was reading some stuff regarding photography and found a news article about this. I thought it's interesting for everyone here to think about it. Basically in a US Court of Appeals Sept. 2001 ruling it supported the established precedent that sale of personal property, such as a cartridge...
