Re: PESO - PAD - Duck - Print-a-Day-6
It's a Canon Pro9500 vintage 2008. Actually I'm finding that using the printer everyday consumes less ink. I think what's happening is the cleaning cycle that executes on every startup uses less ink. When I was using it every so often, it could use a half of a cartridge just blowing the cobwebs out of the print head. Multiply that by 10 cartridges and tears flow faster than ink. Shortly after I bought it, I was in the hospital for a while and didn't use it for about 3 months after I returned home. I used almost a full set of cartridges in the deep cleaning cycle. These things want to be used. After this project, if I go through a period of non-use, I'll print a nozzle check sheet every couple of days just to keep the thing happy. In the long run it will likely be less expensive. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:37 AM, Kenton Brede kbr...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:28 AM, George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com wrote: This is number six in the series Print a Day for 30 Days This duck is a visitor to a small pond in a park near my home. http://georges.posterous.com/duck-print-a-day-6 The reflections on the pond surface made this one of the more challenging prints so far.

I'm printing 8x10s. Anything smaller and I can't really tell much about the detail. George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:39 AM, P. J.

Re: PESO - PAD - Duck - Print-a-Day-6
So far the ink use hasn't been bad. I've replaced the gray and red carts. The other 8 are mostly full. Even though I've only posted prints 1 through 6, I'm actually on print 15. I've printed a few others things during the project so the total is about 20 8x10s. I am keeping track of this just to see how much it cost for the project. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:37 AM, Kenton Brede kbr...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:28 AM, George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com wrote: This is number six in the series Print a Day for 30 Days This duck is a visitor to a small pond in a park near my home. http://georges.posterous.com/duck-print-a-day-6 The reflections on the pond surface made this one of the more challenging prints so far.
