In particular the 3rd party dye alternatives for the Pro9000 Mk.II. I'm nearing the end of my Canon OEM inks and I think it's time to migrate to one of the more affordable choices. I'd like to find one that is closest to the OEM inks in terms of gamut and longevity. New ink and paper...

Been away for a while but still happily printing away on my Pro9000 Mk.II. I now have a number of used CLI-8 carts hanging around and figured it really is time to try a high quality refill ink. In going back through the techniques I watched a couple of the youtube videos showing how to flush the...

So I've been printing up photos to put into a relative's album for a holiday gift and was having a pretty good time of it. I'm using Canon PPP Semi Gloss and Canon inks with my Pro9000 Mark II. I even made a custom profile of the paper with my Datacolor Spyder3Print SR device. With just a bit of...

I'm sure I'd seen it here. Someone posted a great video for how to purge Canon carts. Showed the tube hooked up to the water source and everything. I must be tired; every search I tried came up empty for that video link.

In this thread http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5925 I got some good info about Canon 9000 M.II cart priming and advice about when to change carts. Since this was the first Low Ink warning I'd gotten on the printer I decided to see what would happen if I waited until the Empty...

Does it reprime all carts when one new one gets installed, or just the one that got installed? I suspect I know the answer, but wanted to get confirmation from anyone who knows for sure.

I just felt like I had to vent. Back in my earlier days of using an Epson 1200 and then 1270 dye printers, I almost went crazy using a calibrated flatbed scanner and ColorVision's ProfilerPlus to create profiles. I'd been on the CMS bandwagon early on, keeping my Sony GDM-FW900 calibrated and...

I've been getting bits of evidence that I'm having a problem using Epson Photo Paper with my new Canon Pro9000 Mark II. I made a set of media tests and decided that using Photo Paper Pro II in the Canon media setting produced the best looking output, but when I did a "no color adjust" RAW print...

I have an older style box (the bigger one) of genuine Canon CLI-8 Photo Cyan ink. Given the size of the box, and that it has only one printer model listed on it (I forget which one but it clearly does not list the Pro9000 or other newer models) I'm guessing it has to be at least two years old...

I got some Canon ink from a seller on eBay. The price was pretty good but I was wondering if there was a way to figure what the manufacturing or packaging date is from the codes on the box.

I bought some Ilford Classic Pearl and some Moab Lasal. Hope to see it in the next few days. Wondering if anyone here has determined what the correct media type is for these.

I remember when this feature first came out, and even Epson would not include it in US versions of their printers. They finally gave in (as I understand it), but is Canon still following that outdated thinking? They must be, as my 8000 Mk.II did not have the CD try in it. I knew it wouldn't be...

I'd welcome input from users who have tried a number of semi-gloss papers on the 9000.2.

I ask because I am quite surprised by what I'm seeing. I'm using Epson Photo Paper and tried a couple of supplied profiles, but more importantly a profile I created myself with my Spyder3Print SR. In all cases normal photos - random content with a range of tones - look fine. Certainly they look...

Anybody have firsthand exeprience on these two? Wondering which system is capable (taking into account using it properly and understanding color management) of producing more reliable printer profiles.

I'm wondering if their replacement ink for Canon Chromalife 100 ink is good. Looking for experiences with accuracy to OEM color and longevity.

In the Canon Pro9000 dropdown for paper selections. I placed the ICM file in \Win\System32\Spool\Driver\Color and right-clicked, selected Install. That's all I used to do in the old days using Epson printers, but in this case the paper is still not showing up in the Canon paper dropdown list...

Has anyone done any testing to see which of the aftermarket inks for the CLI-8 provide the best color accuracy to the originals? Best longevity? Possibly even a wider gamut? I notice Inkjetmall has been advertising some Canon ink availability (although not Colorlife 100). I've used their Espon...

The setup panels for the Pro9000.2 (driver v2.28 in Windows) are a lot more complicated (IMO) than the ones I'd been used to for Epson printers. Is there a guide that shows what selections to make in all of the printer configuration panels to get a proper ICM managed solution through Photoshop...

I'm new here but have been a long time Epson Photo printer user. I was in the market to replace my current Epson and decided to pick up a Pro9000 Mk.II after reading a bunch of reviews. The big decision makers for me were the removable print head and the many positive reviews. Maybe not as good...
