I use Color Precision Inks and have had no issues. After a period of no printing I get banding. I've watched videos and read forums and have cleaned the print head in a solution of 10 part distilled water, 2 parts isopropyl alcohol and 1 part ammonia. I did a nozzle check and found that the cyan...

One of my PGI-72 carts is getting low. This will be the first time I will need to refill. I already have the Precision Colors ink on stand-by. I currently do not have a second set of carts. Several questions: What's the best practice for refilling in this situation? Should I refill / top-up...

I have been using a Pro-100 for around 18 months with Precision Color (PC) inks. I have just purchased a Pro-10 and done a test comparison using one of the well-known test images using the supplied Canon ink. I used Canon semi-gloss paper, Lightroom to print and set printer manages color. I also...

I flushed the yellow cart with Windex before flushing with water. Is this good enough to prevent the yellow-jello problem from occurring? I do also have a flushed CLI-8 - is it better to be on the safe side and use this with the chip transferred or is that unnecessary given the way I have...

I know the answer to this is "how long is a piece of string", but generally speaking, how long does it take for a flushed cartridge to be dry enough for refilling? I used a piece of kitchen roll (paper towel) to help "pull out" any water. After two days I removed the paper (completely dry) and...

I have just received a set of used OEM CLI-42 un-flushed cartridges. I have flushed them with tap water using a syringe. A lot of ink came out, but the sponges still show some very slight colouration. Interestingly, the black one is the cleanest. How "clean" do the cartridges need to be? BTW - I...

Was thinking about getting Red River 13x19 68lb. UltraPro Satin 4.0, but at about $1 a sheet that's a little more than I'd like to spend. Does anyone have other recommendations? Purpose is to print my own photos, frame and hang for around a year.

My printer is the Canon Pro-100. I have been refilling the carts now for around a year. Man, it saves a ton of money. As soon as one cart shows low, I refill all carts. Not really been a problem, but it does interrupt things a bit. I’d like to get a complete 2nd set so I can do what most of you...

About 6 years ago I bought two wide gamut Dell U2410 monitors. I didn't realize though that I should have used a graphics card that supported 10-bits! So, for the last 6 years I'm not sure if I've really benefited - although I do think I still get a wider gamut display - which I think means less...

I am considering replacing my two Dell U2410 monitors. When I bought them I didn't understand anything about wide-gamut. Probably, like a lot of people I just assumed that being able to see more colours was a good thing (which it obviously is), but I hadn't realized some of the other side...

So... my highly discounted (if you include the $250 rebate) Canon Pro-10 has arrived. I already have a Pro-100 and use it with PC inks. Are there any particular best practices that I should be aware of prior to setting up? My plan would be to use the supplied OEM cartridges and then refill with...

Printer: Canon Pro-100, PC Inks. I was printing out 12 large characters yesterday in black on 13x19 Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss. The first 11 were perfect. The 12th one started to develop banding about half way through (see image below). I've done a nozzle check, deep clean and still have...

Is there anything wrong with this method?... As soon as one of my cartridges indicates low ink I reset it and refill. I will also top-up all of the other cartridges, but will not reset. My theory is that because the other cartridges have not reached the low-ink mark the printer has not sent a...

I got the cartridge from Precision Colors. Filled it once and as soon as the Pro-100 registered low I refilled. Just came to check on how the sponges were looking and this is what I see. Is this normal? I thought the bottom sponge layer was supposed to be a solid color.

I have refilled all of my OEM cartridges using Precision Color (PC) inks. Produced around 30 13x19 images and the colors were great. Before I refilled any cartridges I did print out several reference images from digitaldog.net so I always had a sample of what the colors were like prior to using...

Using LR I create a B&W image. I then printed it twice using the following settings: 1. Profile: RR UPSatin 4.0 CanPro-100 When the XPS Preview came up I checked that the Media Type was set to Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss (as per the Red River recommendations) and then clicked Print 2. Profile...

I have just purchased a Pro-100... love it! Jose Rodriguez's YouTube channel is really informative. I have my monitor calibrated using a Spyder 3, however, my B&W prints are coming out darker than the monitor. I'm guessing this is a common problem and I know there's going to be a standard link...
