    P600 Aftermarket Inks and Refillable Carts?

    Hi, I know that the question was about replacement inks for the P600. I looked on Precision Colors site for inks to the P800 and they no longer deliver kits for this printer. They say: "The P800 chips are no longer compatible with the later shipping P800 printers in North America and possibly...

    The Win 10 upgrade, Experiences Please..

    This was up in an earlier thread. Be aware that "Big Brother" spy's on you! https://www.google.com/search?q=win...e=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=win+10+information+sharing If you take all possible steps to avoid this and don't let Microsoft do automatic updates it may be ok. An update destroyed my computer...

    Proper way to dispose ink?

    I'm taking all things like this to the waste depot as there may be chemicals in the ink that's harmful for the environment. I don't think you should pour things like this in the drains as they may harm the biological cleaning in the communes purifier (I don't know if this is the correct name in...

    PK Official Poll Time Again, How about this for a change.

    As I've written before I have updated one computer (actually a tablet that also functions as a pc with docking station and keyboard and mouse and I mostly use it like that) to Win 10. It came with Win 8.1 that I updated with "Classic Shell" (a free program). That makes it look like Win 7 and...

    PK Official Poll Time Again, How about this for a change.

    I'm not quite sure of that as I bought an OEM-licence on eBay of Win 7 Pro and installed it on a computer I've built myself. It was a German version and I did also manage to make it a Swedish version with some help from a program I found on the net. I think it's called "Vistalizator"...

    Printing on Canvas

    Yes this IFA-36 looks very interesting! I found this review: http://www.psw.co.uk/write//canvas-review.pdf . It seems to be in a class by itself! I also saw Keith Coopers review. I will probably try it and also try to varnish it as I'm afraid of too much reflections. It will save some work if...

    PK Official Poll Time Again, How about this for a change.

    Really great tip! With Win 7 though I think it is possible to transfer the licence to new hardware. Do you mean that Microsoft has changed this policy also when you upgrade from Win 7? Then this is evil! The extended support for Win 10 ends 2025 and Win 7 2020. I'ts of course possible to use...

    Printing on Canvas

    Hi, Thank you RogerB for the tip on the Innova IFA-36. Can it be varnished as I want to do that as a protection? And what varnish glossy or satin? Yes it's rather expensive I think about in the same league as the Hahn Monet canvas (matte). The problem is with the calibration and Hahn recommends...

    Printing on Canvas

    I'm also planning printing on Canvas with my Epson 3880. The two canvases I've looked at is Hahnemühle Monet and Canson Museum Pro canvas matte 385 gsm. The Monet has got very good reviews but the Canson seems to have equal gamut and D-max. The Monet canvas has to be fed from the back of the...

    PK Official Poll Time Again, How about this for a change.

    Canon has no Linux driver for the Canon PIXMA PRO-10S for example but it may be possible to find a driver (Turboprint has a driver and there may be other backported Linux drivers). As long as the vendors only make drivers and programs for Windows and Mac you are locked in to these systems with...

    PK Official Poll Time Again, How about this for a change.

    Yes it's a "free" update to Win 10. But Microsoft will probably make a big revenue on this update. I don't see that Win 10 gives any extra functionality compared to Win 7. The problem is that the support for Win 7 will end. On most of my computers I have a dual boot with Linux that I prefer to...

    What light to evaluate prints

    With my four armature 18w Osram Color Proof tubes I get 2000 lux at a distance of about 70 cm. The distance to the table will be less so I will dim the light (without dimming the light an armture with 3 tubes could be an alternative but with electronic reactor to avoid flimmering and for a...

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    For someone new to printing nothing is obvious. Yes of course! I also have an analogy. I have had as an interest to listen to music and I have built my own amplifiers and loudspeakers. One thing that was important was to have a great bandwidth especially when things became digital. The original...

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    Ink Stained Fingers wrote: "I did the same what Elle Stone did..." Yes this was a lot of interesting links! It's a lot about calibrating monitors. I've got one of the later more wide gamut monitors the Dell U3014 that can almost cover 100% of Adobe RGB (I think 98%). In the menu I have the...

    Canson Baryta - Photographique 310gsm

    I've used the Museo Portfolio Rag and it's an excellent matt paper but with a smooth texture if you want a matt paper that is. Canson Rag Photographique is similar. The Canson Baryta is an excellent paper that I like very much and works very well with the 3880 but I like the Canson Platine...

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    Strange this :idunno! A lot of recommendations using ProPhoto RGB and then the answer is "I think the answer is use whatever pleases you." The thread is not about the recent update of Lightroom that I don't use but about what color space to use. Does anyone have own experiences of what I asked...

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    Thank you for the link it was interesting! It didn't answer my question though. It was: Of course I will make my own experiments but I wonder if someone else already have tried. Per

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    I can see the advantage of working in a bigger colorspace. In Capture One I can set the ProPhoto RGB. I do usually not use an external editor as I can do most of what I need in C1. I make my printer profiles with ArgyllCMS. Has anyone used ProPhoto as a source in colprof with good result? What...

    So why don't we just dial in sRGB

    I've just seen a good British crimi on the TV and I think the standard of these are becoming better! And about the future of printing I'm quite sure it will stay but become more exclusive. A printed photo is a work of art. Of course you can see it on a display or on a screen but it's still not...
