this guy has single handedly help me transform my life with this one video.i really appreciate u my man. I had spent about 400 on trash that were not equips for the job. also he helped me get the setting right for a dark print and the right film. To this day some 3 yrs later I return for references
I used to use an Epson ET-2550 th-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.
I can confirm that running the print through twice will give you very dense blacks. As long as you take your time the registration on the second print will be spot on. You will have to let it sit for about 5 minutes after the second pass to let the ink dry completely. Hope this helps.
even if you wanted to produce HUGE prints. Like poster sized prints. You can simply block your design out into multiple 13x19 images in photoshop. Print them out on this printer and use clear scotch tape to bring them together for exposure. It's more work but it's actually kind of fun. It's great for producing bigger prints.
Purchase, per your recommendation, back in May 2019. Don't regret it. Great printer. Have used for several applications (mainly screen printing). Thank you.
Since a handful of people have been wanting some links to some of the things I mentioned: Canon Pixma IX6820: amzn.to/2q0CMiA Fixxons 13"x19" Waterproof Films: amzn.to/2p7X44S Refillable Ink Cartridges for the Printer: amzn.to/2p7XHvv Third Party Ink Cartridges: amzn.to/2w7BDq0
Sorry guys. Looks like those particular ones got taken off Amazon. I did find these although they are more expensive (I have not tested these) amzn.to/2tY047Z
Thanks for this!!! I blew the print head out on my epson during peak season and couldn't find a replacement Epson in town. Found this Canon and totally love the quality. Life saver.... Thanks
this setup worked really well for me. i grabbed the iP8720 and use the Arthur inks. If you create the PDFS in illustrator/photoshop and do a lot of film printing, i print in CMYK mode instead of grayscale. You can use the CMYK value 40, 30, 30, 100 and will give you a really deep black. Printing a lot of films in grayscale will drain the gray cartridges really fast, and kind of hard to get just Gray cartridges ink bulk for cheap.
@@davidasog7244 Late response, but im very happy with the IP8720. no problems with film output on 13x19" films with multiple layers. Simple halftones were fine too. Havent dabbled into any cmyk or process printing with it tho.
Hey I went out and bought this printer and i must say its been one of the best buys for my garage printing. I need to step up my exposure unit game now.
This printer really works. I had a hard time getting it to print (kept feeding film right through the printer). I found out that using it wirelessly was the problem. Next I had to reinstall the drivers a couple times because of this and the fact I wasn't getting the controls (paper settings etc) featured in the video. Don't give up, this is a great match. I did run into detail issues when exposing, but I was using diffusion dither and it just wasn't the best for tiny detail - also couldn't wash out a .5 pt stroke. AMAZING for the money.
Yeah the wireless on it is pretty wonky. Just set it to plain paper high quality. We are on our 3rd one so they break but I couldn't find anything better. Any one recommend a 13x19 laser printer ?
Thanks so much! I was about to return my Fixxon order but I so happened to already have this same canon printer for my photo printing. Soooooo happy I found your video!
7 years later and this video is still relevant. I needed an inkjet printer for transparencies to make contact photographic prints using cyanotype processing, and today I picked up a lightly used one that came with a complete set of canon ink cartridges and some 13x19 paper. I paid a whopping $40!! Not a scratch on it, and it even had the protective plastic over the pixma logo. Prints perfectly, and had no problem connecting to wifi even though I have read that a lot of people have problems with that. The setup for that is definitely a bit clunky in that the first time I went through the wizard, it didn't mention that you need the usb plugged in as well if you are setting it up for wifi, and at a certain point the instructions tell you to disconnect the usb to complete the wifi setup. Anyway, excited to have a printer again, and the screen burning thing is entirely new to me so what the hell, I might try that too.
Thank you soooo much for your willingness to teach people about screen printing! You're an Excellent Teacher! I appreciate how you provide reason for why the details on how to screen print! May God continue to bless you 🙏🏽❤️
The first few positives I did were very opaque. Now it is not so dark. Same settings, but new 3rd party cartridge. Had to double up a 4 color rush order today. Does file type maybe have a difference for deposit on black? It is a clutch printer for emergency films... but I am nervous for this to be the go to. It drinks ink. It is a challenge to get a good opaque film. Unless I black out all the cartridges... which can void warranty. I voided my last warranty on my pixma-pro blacking out all cartridges. Not sure if I like this printer or not for positives yet.
Hmmm are you printing them out of Photoshop or illustrator through a RIP or anything. Are you setting the media type to photo matte high quality if you're going through Photoshop? I'm sorry it's sucking!
thanks for the review, just ordered this after a ten year old HP printer stopped working. we were sick of it anyway, black ink was $42!!! time for a new printer and this one is perfect for our small operation. thanks man!
derrick porter I use this printer for that, BUT apparently I don’t have my colors set to the printer and some colors down come out correct and idk how to fix that. For example neon colors down exist. Blue looks blurple etc
Hey! Per your advice I bought that exact printer. Can you tell me which aftermarket ink you get the best results with? Thanks and informative and entertaining presentation!!
I’m just getting into this and found this Vedio. I was trying to decide what printer to go with. For a beginner seeing all these responses I’m sold. I still have questions though like what dtf ink can I put in this canon? All I see is epson compatible ink.
managed to get better prints on tracing paper by changing my print settings in gimp to photo and greyscale. cheers, now I don't need to put the paper through the printer twice.
Thank you for the info on the opportunity. I'm a small time printer and I think I've found my affordable printer. Now, do you have recommendations for an affordable exposure unit. I think I can make a wash out both and make an diy exposure unit, but I don't want to scrounge for a drawer, shop at home Depot for a halogen lamp but a drill etc. Thanks
Hi Casey, thanks for this video! I have the same printer and am wanting to do my own film transparencies for making letterpress plates. I've tried the steps you posted for the black, but it's still not as opaque as the black on your print here. I've tried changing the CMYK and diff. paper settings, but it still looks hazy on the back side. Any other tips you may have? Thank you!
Man.... I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. I just got mine in today. I have the epson artisan 1430 gonna convert it over to sublimation an use the canon for my screen printing for film positives, again really good advice and THANKS!!!!
Thanks for the demo. I can't afford an Epson, I got lucky and a pharmacy store threw out their Epson which was faulty due to ink contaminating the optical sensor which I managed to clean out and works great. Would you happen to know what are the most darkest black inks brands / vendors to use which blocks UV light, any recommendations for Epsons and Canon? I am aware that both printers uses different print head technologies. Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up. I was actually pricing the epsons and I'm glad I ran into your video. Great advice. You saved the day (and my money). I also modeled my washout booth based on your video. Thanks again.
Great video. My question is can the CMY cartridges be filled up with black instead of CMY to get even a darker black. At work we have a very large Epson printer where all the color cartridges were replaced with black ink do you think this is possible with this printer?
+Marco Perez there are refillable cartridges available for this printer and I imagine you can fill them with whatever color you want and the printer will have no idea what color you've used
Thank you for the review. Subscribed and liked. This is a weird question, but I'll have this printer in a shared space (a makerspace) and I want it to ONLY be for screen printing, so I don't want the colors available, because some will be just printing pictures and wasting ink. Is there a way to make sure this is black only? If color cartridges are removed will it still work?
Another plus to this printer, when the ink runs out in a certain color, you can still print. This printer will lay down more ink from other ink cartridges to make up for the color that is out. With my old Epson, if any of the cartridges went empty, printing would come to a halt until the empty cartridge was replaced.
Very true. I have an Epson all-in-one that I use for scanning and printing coloring book pages for my daughters and it wont even scan if I'm out of ink for one cartridge. Drives me insane.
So what do you do with the other cartridges like cmyk do you just use the regular printer inks and your black fill it with special ink for scree printing
Thanks so much for all your advice and cool videos!!!! What's the difference between 5760x1440 and 9600x2400 print resolution? Which one would be considered better?
Great video!! Can you help me with where you bought the bulk transfer paper from? And where I can find refillable ink cartridges I'm having a hard time. Thank you
Now that you have been using this printer for awhile, how is it holding up? Any settings or tricks that you have learned to get the darkest possible prints?
+sik304s it's working great! I keep it in the garage. Honestly I haven't changed up anything from the video. Still get awesome results from that. I'm trying to find out what RIP software might work for it since a couple of people have asked
sik304s Have you had any luck. I have spent hours playing with settings, etc. I compare them with the seps I used to get off my Epson r1800 and 3000 and there is no comparison. Looking for any help from someone using cartridge. I am not a beginning printer thosugh it's been awhile. If you were able to get dense positives please let me know any tips. Thanks.

Thanks Casey. Helpful video, man. The B&W dpi for this printer is only 600x600, have you had good results printing halftones? And do you know if it's printing true black or is it a mix of colours to achieve a black print in finer detail? Cheers
