Wrongo dog breath. He's right as the generic settings work best for non-canon paper. The ink has nothing to do with it. Now tell me you know different as you've used after market inks right? Well..?

Steve - Measekite has a very short memory. I have reported this information before, Measekite has read it, and he still chooses to refute what I write. When I purchased my i960 I did test prints on Canon photopaper pro, Epson glossy photo paper, Epson premium glossy paper, and Kirkland glossy photo paper. My test prints were done with all of the glossy paper settings, both on automatic and manual settings. I also did a series on manual settings with no adjustments and then with several adjustments in magenta and in intensity. These were all done with OEM ink that came with the printer. I subsequently ran the exact same prints with MIS inks and compared them all side-by-side. I then mixed them up and lined them up from what I felt was the best print to the worst. I came to the conclusion the the Costco paper with either MIS or OEM ink were excellent and there was no need for me to spend the additional money to buy OEM ink or Canon Photopaper Pro for my printing needs. I also felt that the best setting was for Glossy photo paper and the color at Manual with slight tweaks as necessary. You be the judge as to what works best for you. I can only report what my experience is. You can bet that he will reply to this post by cutting it apart and changing it to try to make me look as foolish as he is and misinform people who read what he alters from my message. Sorry you have to be subjected to this nonsense. |
