I currently have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s and have lots of spare genuine CLI-42 carts for it. I'm in the UK so use refill inks from Octoinkjet (quality basically equivalent to US Precision Colors so they are very good!). I can buy empty and unmodified CLI-42 carts on eBay for about £1 each. I was...

Hello all, I currently run a small business in my spare time making custom Lego stickers and have x2 Canon Pixma Pro 100s printers. Because Lego bricks are specific colours I have had a company create custom ICC profiles that for my combination of (refill) inks, vinyl sticker material and...

My Pro 100s has started smudging the paper with black ink. Started out as a little bit on one corner but that got worse and then it progressed to also being down the side and then also across the middle of the page in a dotted "walking ant" line. I've tried the maintenace options such as...

I've had a Canon G5000 for about 2 years now and it's been a good printer overall with little trouble. The last few weeks however have seen it start to jam more frequently, to the point now where it's getting paper jams pretty much every time I try to print. I have to open the lid and manually...

I've recently flushed a full set of CLI-42 carts using luke warm tap water to clean them. This was after 100's of refills on the same carts and I noticed that the flow was getting less and less with a lot of them so time for a flush. They are all working fine except for the yellow one which has...

I've used a cleaning kit to flush out my Canon Pixma Pro 100s print head after a couple of the channels kept getting blocked. I'm at the final stages of cleaning it but nothing in the instructions says what to do next before putting it back in the printer. Currently there will be cleaning fluid...

I mostly use my Pixma Pro 100s for printing on glossy vinyl sticker material and so have the print settings on "Photo Paper Glossy II" and print quality set to "high". I've occasionally had issues with blocked channels on the print head but these are few and far between and can usually be...

I have had a Canon Pixma Pro 100s for about 5 years now and often use it to print banners, capes, flags etc for toys. I have a material I can print on both sides and then use a cutting machine to cut the items out. Usually I print on one side, flip the page over and then print a mirror image on...

I've had a Canon Pixma Pro 100s for a few years and one of the things I use it for is to print out 2 sided flags on thin cardboard. I've set up my art package so that I have two versions of the artwork that are exactly mirrored so I print one side and re-insert the page back into the printer the...

I have been using a Canon Pixma Pro 100s for a couple of years now to print custom posters, stickers etc that I sell as a serious hobby. I switched from the OEM inks almost straight away to using inks from a company called OctoInk (I'm in the UK). I didn't clean out the ink cartridges first, I...

I have a hobby that I also use to make some extra cash and that is making stickers for toys. I currently have a Pixma Pro 100s with third party replacement inks. I normally use white vinyl sticker material to print on but get the odd request for stickers on a transparent medium. So far I haven't...

I've been trying to get my Canon Pixma Pro 100s to print in Adobe RGB colour gamut instead of sRGB. I spent a lot of time trying to download and install the AdobeRGB .icc file but it never seemed to work (can't select it from Printer Profile in the driver and the only .icc file I can get from...

I'm due to go away for 2 weeks at the back end of August and am wondering if there's anything I can do to help prevent my print head from clogging due to not being used for that time. I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s inkjet and have been told that up to one week without use it normally fine but two...

I've downloaded the AdobeRGB.icc file from Adobe and have placed the file in the following folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color Which I understand is the correct place. In fact I've got a couple of custom .icc profiles installed in there and they seem to be working properly. The...

Okay this is probably going to be a fairly long post so bear with me (I'll to a tl,dr at the end :D ) So as a side hobby / business I make custom stickers for Lego sets. I design them using Inkscape, export the images as .png and then import them into a package called Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL for...

So I've been looking into the PrintFab software as a way to print more saturated colours. Before I go tinkering around with it I want to go over my situation here and ask some advice (if anyone on here knows how to use PrintFab), I design custom stickers for Lego sets. I design them in a...

Does anyone know if tear proof (or at least tear resistant) paper exists for inkjet printers?

Random question but does anyone know if it's possible to print a pdf file in Adobe RGB rather than sRGB (I assume the latter is the default). I did used to have a method where I imported the pdf file into Adobe Illustrator and then printed from there, as AI gives you full control over printing...

My print preview option has stopped working in all the applications I use for print jobs (e.g. Inkscape, Illustrator, a few other programs). The Print Preview option is definitely ticked in the driver - it's the first thing I checked, then double and triple checked. However when I send a job for...

Hi all, i'm due to go away for three weeks soon and I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s printer (dye based ink). Normally I make sure to print something every 2-3 days at least, just to keep ink flowing through the print head and to reduce the chance of clogs. However this obviously isn't going to be...
