    And directly from Adobe. PDF viewers can be vulnerable to malicious code buried in PDF's. But Adobe is actively updating both the free Reader and the full Acrobat products to close security holes. Printer manuals from mfr's web sites are unlikely to be infected, although legitimate sites...

    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    One year ago I owned a non-working Canon i9900 and an Epson R2400. Today, the Epson is long-gone, and I'm equipped with a 9000 Pro MkII, an IP4200 and TWO working i9900's. The 9000 was purchased for $220 NIB from one of the many Canon camera buyers who got it as a promo / rebate and didn't...

    Epson R1900 or Canon Pro9000MKII to refill with Precision Colors Inks?

    Is it useful to say what color space(s) you're using that result in good results on your system? I'm seeing somewhat the same issue. Digital images in sRGB color space, monitor profiled with Spyder II Express, Canon 9000 MkII set to Photo Pro Paper II, & using the appropriate paper profile...

    Building a pure B&W printer... advice needed

    @$%^%&*!! My errror. Having gotten it working, cleaned it up & refilled the carts, I'll put it back on craigslist. If I can get about what it cost, I'll be happy, and back to watching for a 4200.

    Building a pure B&W printer... advice needed

    Yeah, it had -3's in it. I thought they were original to the printer, but if not, they're likely no more than the second set. The first owner seemed to be a 'good ole boy.' I suspect tech stuff isn't his bailiwick. For him $30 was the better end of the deal, and for me, so was a good...

    Building a pure B&W printer... advice needed

    Did my first darkroom work in 1962, had a conventional darkroom off and on up through the early 2000's, but by then I was shooting digital for family pictures and the like, and 'serious' photography had pretty much gone by the wayside. Bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D100, a couple years ago...

    Please recommend a printer for me!

    What's the largest paper size you want to print? Do you want a multi-function printer (some combination of print/scan/copy/fax)? I presume not, because you already have an HP copier. My recommendation would be a Canon ip4200 or similar that uses CLI-8/PGI-5 cartridges: iP3300 iP5200...

    B&W Prints

    This is all I've found so far. U.S.-based supplier listing Dark, Medium and Light Grays; as best I can tell, these are dye inks appropriate for the ip4000. I've not ordered from them, so IDK if this will work, but I plan to try it in my newly-acquired ip4200 ($20 USD with nearly full Canon ink...

    Epson R1900 or Canon Pro9000MKII to refill with Precision Colors Inks?

    The more I study, the more I'm forced to conclude that paper choice and good profiles are overlooked in the quest for print quality. Finding the right paper and profiling it accurately (or having an accurate profile made for you) may contribute to the fullest possible gamut at least as much as...

    KMP Ink : Success - Now a question

    Has anyone tried using this (or any) pigment ink in a dye-only printer (such as the Pro 9900 MK II) in pursuit of more neutral blacks and sharper text printing. Or is this just asking for trouble?

    Epson R1900 or Canon Pro9000MKII to refill with Precision Colors Inks?

    I use the 'Printer Test File' found here (first link in the left column) to test output on MY printer, using various papers, inks, and settings. I own a couple of Color Checkers, so I can compare test prints to the real thing in various lighting conditions. Also, and at least equally important...

    Epson R1900 or Canon Pro9000MKII to refill with Precision Colors Inks?

    Aruiz, my first post here, but >45 years of photo experience including professional color labs. Now enthusiastically printing my own photographs digitally. You've said here that for you, print permanence is secondary to accurate color, and that you are concerned about getting accurate color...
