    Pigment Based Ink Cartridges

    I recently found Xprint ink cartridges for the Epson R1800 sold by www.clickinks.com. They advertise them as pigment based inks. I have used them for about one week now and find them to be a suitable replacement for OEM ink. The color is close to Epson but after making ICC profiles for my most...

    Canon i9900 owners

    At the present time I use Monaco EZ Color or Profile Prism Software for profiling. I also use the Monaco Optix with EZ Color for Monitor Calibration.

    Canon i9900 owners

    If you want a great media, try your i9900 with inkjet canvas. I have used Fredrix for 8x10 and 11x17. For 13x19 I have used Inkpress Canvas. I profiled Nectron Ink and both canvas medias and the final results are spectacular. I think my cost were not much higher than a top grade inkjet photo...

    Squeeze bottles for refilling

    I refilled my new Hobbicolor cartridges today and was pleasantly surprised with the ease of doing it. I simply poured the ink from the Hobbicolor 2 oz. bottles into the squeeze bottles. I then remove the screws in the cartridges and filled each cartridge about 1/4 full. I then went back and...

    Squeeze bottles for refilling

    I found that the needles are soft enough to carefully bend them to about 60 Degrees. This should make it easier to control flow into the cartridges. As I started to set up for refilling I had an idea for a fixture to make working a little easier. I still need to give it a couple coatsof...

    ICC Profile request! Hobbicolor inks, and either a 4clr or 6clr Cannon

    I have just filled my cartridges with HobbiColor inks on a Canon i9900 printer and I was amazed at the photo print outs. I made profiles for the HobbiColor ink and both Kirkland Glossy and Ilford Printasia Pearl paper. I believe that this ink does as well or better than Canon inks. This...
