From: Satoshi on 24 Jun 2005 13:16 I setup the new ip4000 this morning. Printed with the glossy paper came with the machine (4 x 6). Pictures were indeed sharp and nice. I compare this picture with those printed at Costco., Both are almost identical but ip4000 gave just a slight reddish tint but not bad. The picture printed with ip4000 is much, much better than those printed with i950. I am happy with ip4000.

From: measekite on 24 Jun 2005 18:20 Now try Costco/Kirkland Glossy Photo Paper and compare your results against Canon Photo Paper Pro. Use the Canon Photo Paper Pro setting for both papers.

You should read more & write less. Definitely write less! No, you're wrong.

From: " Stevelee" <" on 25 Jun 2005 02:01 Why should people print Costco/Kirkland paper with Canon Paper Pro setting? Do you have to load Fuji film when shooting with a Japanese camera? Canon's Photo Pro paper is a resin coated paper. Kirkland paper is not. There is no point to use a same setup for different paper. measekite wrote: > Now try Costco/Kirkland Glossy Photo Paper and compare your results against > Canon Photo Paper Pro.

But it is also true that there are many good quality 3rd party inks out there that work really well. Avoid those cheap, sometimes too cheap to believe, ready filled cartridges from eBay. My experience with bulk inks bought from a company selling on eBay has been just perfect. I took a risk to use it knowing the risk I was taking. There aren't many companies selling bulk inks. In fact there are only a few you can find. The majority of 3rd party sellers sell ready filled carts only. A lot of them sell junk indeed. So you are right about them. Try bulk inks, not ready filled carts. You will change your mind about 3rd party inks. My printer is a Pixma ip8500. I have no reason to lie about it if the ink doesn't work. The printer is 6 months old already. Not a single problem for almost 6 months in using the 3rd party ink supply. I still have my first set of 8 cartridges that came with the printer. They are still pretty full. I don't use them because I want to keep them just in case I ran into problems with the bulk ink. But it's already 6 months passed. I am already on 2nd set of bulk inks. I have not found a need to use my OEM carts yet. Measkit, your opinion about 3rd party ink is right and wrong. |
