    Wow, I ve just popped in here.

    Having been an Epson bigot I can speak volums about the plusses and minus of Canon versus Epson. The bottom line for me was costs. I was printing almost every day using OEM cartridges from Epson and it was costing me a fortune. In addition I was waiting upto 20 minutes for a single 13x19"...

    New options that we would like to see in Inkjet Stuff Forum

    I thought it might be a good idea to start a suggestions section. And believe it or not I have a suggestion. Is it possible to set up a weekly email that goes out to participants who sign up to show the lastest posts from say the previous week. This would help those of us who participate in...

    Which is better, Glossy or Matte for Photo Printing?

    For the most part I have been printing with the Kirkland glossy photo paper, but when I photograph animals I find that you get a much more natural look, to the animals, if you print using the matte finish. It is true that once you put them behind a glossy surface they all look the same anyway...

    Grandad: I was wondering, since I am using your profile for my I9900 and Kirkland paper, if you will be updating your profiles or is this a PS only fix?

    Google Search Engine Page Rank Results: "We're Number ONE!!!" <chant>

    So often in a forum such as this you get a lot of trivial information. This forum is totally different, even most of the questions are intelligent and well though out. In addition some of the answers are so detailed as to border on ANAL, but that what we need. I can only attribute it to the...

    I have used Grandad35 profile for my Canon I9900, inkgrabber inks and Kirkland Costco paper. Before using this profile I fought with the green cast problem with the inkgrabber inks (old formual). I was floored when I used his profile. The greys came out grey. In fact I was so impressed I've...

    Problem with yellow ink from ink grabbers

    Well I like everyone else have been fighting the green cast problem with the inkgrabber inks. It's not too bad if you up the blue levels in photoshop but its still not grey. Anything with shadows in it tend to get the green cast. Has anyone solved this problem? I do have a story to tell...

    Problem with yellow ink from ink grabbers

    Sorry guys my COSTCO refills were from IMS not MSI now I am afraid to use the ink I refilled.

I'll probably break down and buy the MSI refills and try...

    Problem with yellow ink from ink grabbers

    Well I went to COSTCO and bought their IMS refill system. What a mess I made with my first attempt, in fact I drilled the hole in the wrong place and ruined the tank and got ink all over my hands (It really is indelible). Anyway my next try went much better and then subsequent tries got better...

    Problem with yellow ink from ink grabbers

    I did talk to the inkgrabber people and they said it must be a bad batch and that if I returned them they would send me some new ones. I declined because I don't want to risk using their yellow inks. I have been buying Canon yellow and using the inkgrabber inks I have for the other colors with...

    Problem with yellow ink from ink grabbers

    I bought a bunch of ink from inkgrabbers.com for my canon i960 and my canon i9100. I was really impressed with their inks and was recomending it to all of my friends. Unfortunately I got a bad batch of yellow ink and it plugged up both printers so bad that I was forced to return the i960 (it...
