Re: PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II: exact size of photos?

2010-03-10T00:09:54Z

Look for a printer that can print "full bleed" and you'll be looking at
a printer that can print clear to the edge of the paper. Make sure the
max print area is also big enough to print to the edge of the paper, as
some narrow format printers can only print full bleed on smaller paper
stock than A4 or Letter.

PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II: exact size of photos?

2010-03-09T15:41:29Z

Hi,
I'm planning on buying a Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II to print my own
photos (mostly for photo exhibitions).
I've been told it's not possible to print a full-page photo, but that
all photos are framed by a white border.
It's not something I overly worry about, except that I'm not sure
whether or not I can control how big is the white framing, and

New Canon IP 4700 Printer Question

2010-03-09T13:36:13Z

I just purchased a Canon IP 4700 printer and so far, am happy with its
operation. The only area of concern is as follows:
Rather frequently, I can hear the printer going thru some type of operation.
I suspect it has something to do with cleaning of the printer head. If so,
is this where the computer is periodically cleaning the printer head

HP Print Quality Problem

2010-03-09T11:07:12Z

We have a HP Officejet J5780 printer that has developed a printing problem
that I have not seen before. When I print a page the top of the page starts
off fine then the quality gradually gets worse as it goes down the page
until by the middle of the page it is so faint it is unreadable. I have
tried changing the black cartridge (it only affects the black print),

Mickey, exactly. It looks like when the carriage goes on the right, it
prints the yellow band, but, when it comes back it doesn't. That's so
strange. I tried with hot water for some minutes, tried with special
cleaning liquid, did deep cleaning but nothing. I'll try with davy's tip
too tomorrow...
I left Epson because the ink dried in the pipe, but Canon doesn't seem

Sounds like a problem that I had with a black head on my Canon 4000. My
black only printing had a white band also much like you are describing.
I tried cleaning multiple times with different approaches, all to no
avail. I played with various modes with the draft and normal modes
obtaining the same problem. I worked on putting my printer into a mode

I'm the OP and I've recently come into some money (don't we all love that?)
and I've decided go go with an Epson 2880 which currently has a $200 rebate
until March 31st. I've gone back and forth with printers, nearly bought
the 1400 a couple times, but for some reason, just couldn't make that
decision, perhaps because somewhere deep inside I knew that wasn't the

Thank you. I did a deep cleaning and nozzle check again(I already did).
All the colours are perfect, yellow too but the yellow line is half
compared to the others!
I really can't understand what is the problem with yellow!
If somedbody has an idea please help! I don't want to by a new printer,
I used this one not so much.

Re: Canon IP5000: yellow misses rows

I would try removing the ink cartridges and then removing the print head
and 'try' cleaning the copper coloured looking contacts on the rear of
the print head, failing this it looks like a new print head is required,
these printers are well worth it I'd say.
The only thing to bear in mind is when the ink waste pad gets full, the

I have a compiled manual of suggestions for cleaning head clogs for
Canon inkjet printers. It may or my not resolve the problem your
printer is showing.
The manual is free of charge; just email me and ask for the Canon head
cleaning manual.

I highly doubt they were the same person. I still think Frank has a
financial interest in the Hobbicolors. Hobbicolors is sold on ebay.
If you ever look at all of Franks post in past, he would promote
Hobbicolors. Measekite on the other hand was probably hired by Canon
to discourage ink refilling. I'm guessing he was finally laid off due
