After some weighing up and rethinking, I decided to grab some PermaJet Oyster A4 and get it profiled by them. My reasoning came from the fact that I may just get away with using the same profile, with an adjustment layer or two, for the Canon SG-201 Semi-Gloss, as the two looked similar with...

Canon Semi-Gloss SG-201 arrived today, and it certainly has a different outcome to the Canon Plus Glossy PP-101. One thing confirmed, we still prefer lustre/semi-gloss/pearl/oyster or whatever non-high gloss finish over glossy. That completely puts the Canon Platinum Glossy out for us, because...

Sure, Scanned using 48 bit in Photoshop (32bit/x86 OS to access Canon TWAIN driver), saved as 48 bit TIF. Verified these are 48 bit / 16 bit images. Edited in Photoshop in 16 bit mode (48 bpp). Sent to printer from Photoshop - no option to switch 8 / 16 bit data. Funnily enough I think I found...

I am still learning this printer, and trying to work out exactly how I can get the best out of it. Matching prints to screen is becoming such an impossibility, not in part to the fact that we haven't had a single consistent day of weather and ambient light since two days or so after buying the...

Thank you for your input, Harlequin565. Canon are deliberately trying to force sales of their own paper on this machine: "Media Types You Cannot Use: ... Paper that is too thick (weighing more than 28 lb (105 g /m2), except for Canon genuine paper)" "Do not use heavier or lighter paper (except...

I wondered if a glossy print behind glass would look bad. So I tested it for myself. Used a Canon Photo Plus Glossy (PP-101) print from a low-end PIXMA, genuine Canon ink. There was a mount between the print and glass, of about 2mm. The image had a lot of uniform black and a chunk of lighter...

I read somewhere that a place got a largish sample of ColorMunki Display and i1 Pro (basically same unit with firmware tweak) units and they all measured pretty darn closely to each other, meaning that there is a good chance of not getting a dud. The sample differences in the Spyder (4 I...

7dayshop as mentioned above. Every cart I bought always seemed completely genuine Canon, not a hooky copy. Amazon does sometimes do the best price, but it's worth using a price watcher like camelcamelcamel and selecting sold by Amazon only (who knows what 3d party sellers are off loading?!?)...

I've just screen grabbed the levels panel incase anyone was wondering what I meant. Is anyone noticing that when fed with Canon glossy PP-101 at least, the front glossy side of the paper is being marked by the rollers and mechanism? I have an old print from an IP4300 in a box and that looks...

Hi all, History: Had an Epson stylus 880 circa the turn of the millennium. After the first set of genuine inks ran out I used some 3rd party ones, which were fine enough I guess. Never printed on photo paper, only Kodak 90gsm "bright white" (actually off-white) inkjet paper. Eventually the...

How did you get on? There is no sensible reason why the Canon codec needs a minimum screen size. The only reason I can think of that it complains is because it is semi- tied to zoom browser, which is what Canon would normally use to browse RAW files. I did read Zoom Browser mentioned on...

Hi folks, new to the forum, just registered to post :) I know this is a little late, but I thought it may help someone else that stumbles upon the thread - it's quite high up on the "view raw on netbook" internet search results. We have an Acer AOD 270 (n2600 / GMA3600) with Win7 Starter...
