I have issues where the printer simply ignores every setting and prints over saturated. Im not talking "in my opinion" Im talking blue suits are purple, flesh is red.

Hello sir, I have come to you because you seem to be the most knowledgeable person on printers I have seen. So I must ask you a question here. It is about an HP K8600 ( its an older model). I bought this printer used on Facebook and it had bad print heads so I fixed it, and bought a CISS for it for $30.00 and it came full of ink which I wasn't expecting. I was so happy until I printed and all the colors are way off, my pinks look brown my teals look green, I don't know what to do... I figured I could change out the color management but I also use other printers and don't want to ruin all the settings for all of the printers so I am wondering if there is another way to calibrate colors so that they are at least in the right ballpark.... thank you
Epson ET-2750. Working perfect then mid print, started printing with no blue tones. I printed a purge in blue and it printed it purple. 😢. When I print the nozzle check, no problems and prints light blue lines.
Is the bottom line here that a modern printer is so color-accurate "out of the box" when used with the manufacturer's paper that I can just trust the printed image as a reference? So, print one and tweak the screen? I landed here because I just set up a new Canon G7020 and was disappointed in a printed image (seemed pale) and very disappointed in a scanned image, which seemed to have lost most of the color of the original. But, then I stepped back and had no idea how to separate printer calibration from screen. I think you are saying to trust the printed image and start from there.
@@cheo1949 i have a cannon g2500 i know it is not the best printer but the colors are very poor and not saturated. Is it the ink or the printer itself?
could you please help me. I just bought a pro 300 but color comes out darker than epson 8500. How do i adjust the colors to print more vibrant and brighter? how do you adjust the color settings manually properly ?
Mr Rodriguez you gave me years ago a remedy for a printer issue that I had which was true matching colors. I switched from PS 2021 to now 2023 once I did that I lost the driver that you suggested it was not Q image it was something else but I can't recall what it was.
Well, my photos print dark with Canon Selphy cp1200, and surely my monitor is NOT calibrated at all. But that doesn't matter at all! Why I hear you saying? Because I rely on the histogram! And the histogram tells me the image is correct. But it prints super dark, no detail at all in the shadows. So, I guess the problem is how Photoshop deals with color profiles. Do you have any advise on that topic and for dummies?
hi i started refilling my own canon 445 and 446 cartridges I have a canon mx 494 printers it was going well at first until I changed my refill ink to another brand. my question is does different ink produce differences in color. my other problem is my prints come out with a dull like the picture but the colors are right please give me advice
I'm in 100% agreement with you with monitor calibration; custom paper profiles and working in a dimly lit editing room. I have a question regarding Qimage Ultimate Unclog Schedule Tool. Does the Qimage program have to be constantly be activated and or minimized for it to do the scheduled printing or will the program automatically launch or activate by itself. Lastly, can my computer be in a sleep mode for the unclog schedule tool to work. I'm leaving the country for a month and don't want to come back to a clogged printer head. Thanks in advance. Mahalo
caltari I got it set up that Qimage is in the background and my computer can be asleep but i set up a wake up action on the computer to wake it up 1min before the print is scheduled.
Hi, i did my paper profiling with my 1yr old i1 Studio device + new ccStudio app on windows 10 Pro 21H2. My monitor (BenQ SW2700PT) is calibrated too. So i decided to print on my new Epson L1800 A3+ printer with paper profile. I set a new doc with no color management 8 bit and dragged a sRGB image in doc and i did the soft proofing with paper profile and prints didn't came as same as on screen. But when i use my old printer Epson L1350 with sRGB doc profile it and set no colour management settings for print its then prints come match to screen. What could be the issue. What should i need to do to fix this.
Obviously both printers are not outputting close. You don't say what you print with. I would suggest you print a standard image with your newer printer. Letting the driver control color using EPSON paper choose ICM not SRGB. That is the worst choice. Chose the paper that matches the EPSON paper you are using. Not some other paper. And choose ICM are you color choice in the DRIVER. Tell your editing app to allow the printer to control color. Assuming your inks are also EPSON of course.
@@cheo1949 sorry sir. I print in Nova PrismaJet Digital Plus RC Glossy Inkjet Paper and VMS Delux Matte paper. I also forgot to check if the nozzles are getting blocked. So i found it had issues. So i have a cleaning cmd and it got fixed after 6 to 7 clean up. Now nozzle check is working fine. I usually first do nozzle check before any kind of printing but this time i totally got excited about new printer and rushed into prints. My mistake i didn't noticed that.
Hi Jose. I have a canon pro 300. When i print i am getting a magenta cast on a standard colour test sheet. I have disabled the printer colour/intensity from auto to manual in the settings but still get the cast. I have also tried disabling the lightroom colour management by checking the draft mode printing tab and put the printer colour/intensity back to auto but still get the cast to a varying degree. Am i doing this right? Or am i missing something. Hope you can help. Im sure it is to do with double colour management but the printer is new and im a complete newbie at this. Thanks in advance
Sorry Jose, only a clarification: you calibrate the monitor at D65 as standard. correct? (why not D55 that the white point is more yellow and than more near at paper white?)
I know it sounds strange. But prints are usually viewed under 5000k lights so that is why profiles are D50. Monitors are calibrated at D65 or daylight. Trust me, don't let that confuse you.
sir is there any software to do correction and print 800 prints 4x6 size without photoshop just like we were doing in mini lab just clicking -1 or +1 or +2
I'm going join your face book page and load your calibration image ! What an easy calibration ! I'm going to test my pros against Canon OEM the new precision SE and the German inks. I'll try the German again first since there was a mix up with my precision order. I'm retiring and moving in the next 10 months and Ill have a much larger space for printing. I'm either going to go all the way with a canon 1000 or get the pro 10 leaving more in the budget for ink and paper ! And Happy Printing back at you !!!
Hello I am new in your channel, and I have a question. I have this dilema lol, I boughf an Epson wf 7840, but the only think i saw bad was the size and weight...loved it though,....but then I thought maybee the Ecotank 15000 would print better, but that printer comes out to just under $700, dollars, but the ratings are better for the less expensive Epson wf 7840 than for the Ecotank 15000....wich one would you kerps???...thank you.
Price has no direct connection to quality here. The Eco Tank prints will cost a lot more at the beginning because ink refills will very cheap and in many cases you can switch to 3rd party inks due to these printers not using chips. Look at what colors are included in the stock ink set. 4 is so so. 6 is much better.
@@cheo1949 just one more question, that i almost firgot,....if i allready put the regular inks in the printer, can i use other inks including "sumblimation" inks on it?....or ones i have put these regular inks, ...it's too late to use sublimation????
Match colors to what??? You are either not setting the driver correctly. Your work flow is not correct. Or your display is not displaying images correct so you edit them and now they are even worse. The printer can only do so much. It outputs what you feed it.
@@cheo1949 actually i m facing problem. When. Setting to photo paper glossy with high quality.. greyscale image. Doesnt. Give me actual neutral greys. Which i see on. Screen.. it give s yellowish tint in greys... Very disturbing.. i want to fix this
not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last few months xD

I just started to do a water and Windex flush of 8 CLI-42 cartridges I bought on Ebay. I just completed two cartridges and the issue I'm having trouble with is the 60ml syringe, when I fill it up with Windex to flush out the cartridge, the rubber seal gets harder and harder to slide easily on the inside wall of the syringe to the point where the rubber seal gets pulled off the plunger. I have two of these 60ml syringes and the same thing happens to both of them, very frustrating; so for now I've stopped flushing out the other 6 CLI-42 cartridges until I come up with a solution or a suggestion that would address this problem. I'm sure it's the Ammonia causing the friction. Anyone else experiencing this problem and have come up with a solution? Thanks in advance.
I have not experienced that problem when using Windex and wonder if it is due to specific syringe plungers. Ive had it happen after MANY uses on my smaller volume syringes. Bit not until much use.
@@cheo1949 Thanks for the reply. I think I have another solution, which I'm going to try tomorrow. You know the catheter tip that comes with the 60ml syringe that fits perfectly and snugly into the refill hole. Well, I glued the catheter tip to a condiment squeeze bottle with Gorilla Glue. I'm 99% sure it'll work with no more issues with the rubber seal getting stuck. Now I'll be able to flush out the remaining 6 cartridges without getting stressed; LOL. Oh yeah, I thought of another idea of buying an aquarium air pump with a dual oxygen port; hookup two 4 Aquarium Oxygen Air Flow Splitter for a total of eight and gluing the hoses to eight catheter tips and insert them into the refill port for faster drying time. What do you think; go or no go? I'm lazy and impatient; LOL.
@@caltari Not an refill expert, but there are syringes which have only the hard plastic part, so not the rubber part. Perhaps the rubber is reacting with the Windex which will not happen with the syringes which I mentioned.
