    Converting ciss from bottom feed to Top feed

    Thanks Martin, I love reading the old threads. I think I can do this conversion! On another note I love the old camera in your avatar pic. My dad and I used to collect speed graphics and others as well as my brother. When they both passed I inherited all the cameras and now have a large...

    Converting ciss from bottom feed to Top feed

    Many thanks to Hat for his help! I didn't mean to hi jack the other thread, so in case there are others considering installing a ciss on an Epson printer that uses pigmented ink, this could be a place ! to start I already have a new empty tank on hand, so I think I'll go that route so I can...

    Lucky Day I think A FREE ip6000d

    Thanks for the great advice. I'm almost ready to put the carts in it. It's a good thing I'm not in a hurry I come into my little print room and lose track of time. I start to print a couple and before you know it, I have a stack of old train photos, airplanes and cars for my grandsons next visit.

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Thanks Hat! I went to the canon web site and downloaded the latest driver and installed that. It was dated july 2015 so its current. Now when I select photo it gives me the complete drop down with the custom size option in the correct place and after that I can type any size I wish. I...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Thanks Hat That struck a nerve ! I hate the thought of ink being splashed and even worse on my prints where it doesn't belong. I'm going to try it with win 7 and look for a more current version of photoshop I do prefer borders also, I just want options for border less when I want to go...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Thanks HAT ! I'm thinking it must be a quirk because I'm using xp on that computer. It has to be related to the operating system. The computer is a gift from my son and is only 2 months old and was built to be a dedicated unit for imaging purposes only, processing photos and printing graphic...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    I thinking the same thing. It could be a quirk with xp or cs3 I've been using both cs3 and xp with no issues for years. Then I wanted to print 11 x 14 on the canon and the problems began. I really didn't expect to have problems as I had used xp and cs3 for so long and I'ts been easy...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Thanks again for all the help I'm done with this canon If I try to choose borderless it automatically changes the paper size from custom back to letter and from semi to glossy and then there is no way around the offset for staples

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Thanks Hat I'll go through the control panel I did go through it when i went in and removed the old printers and drivers. That would be the best place to start. I'm wondering if maybe I got an older install disk when they packaged it. Right now I'm reinstalling the disk that came with it...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    I just checked again and my choices end at the Hagaki It ends right there. What is so strange is that I always used the custom paper size feature on the epson . Using the same computer when I was using the mp610 the epson wf 7610 and the pro 100 I had no problem setting custom sizes from the...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    Hi Roy It might be my fault as I chose to stay with cs3 and xp on my stand alone computer for photo and graphic arts. It's a new computer but for ease of use I wanted to stay with what I already knew how to use For Internet I'm more up to date I use win 7 on a lap top The drop down for paper...

    Red River Paper saves the day and why I won't buy another canon

    I was reading the specs on line for the pro 10 and pro 1. My wife was surprised and asked whats up with that "You just bought two printers in two months". I explained that my pro 100 wouldn't allow me to print 11 x 14 but Red River Paper has a hack available on their site that will allow me...
