Well, the tests say that it DOES indeed fix the problem (without the probably part).
I think the above says it all. Thanks for the clarification Rick.
I think this is what you are looking for (in Win XP that is):
This has nothing to do with pooling. It only affects the time that the printed page stays on the tray before the printer starts printing the next page. It does not affect printing speed in any way. Only stand-by speed BETWEEN prints.
There is nothing like that neither in the Canon drivers nor in the Windows interface.
Richard, I think you're mistaken, so just a correction to give credit to the right person: Rick
Joe, which Kodak paper was that?
Oh come on. Have fun with the gadgets!
Sorry Rick, I was running really late for work when I posted that so I was in a hurry.
Yea, I tried that but it didn't change speed at all. I am still happy with my results slowing down the computer to slow down the printer though.
I would like to know how that works out. Just call me curious, I wouldn't try it in mine but I don't plan on upgrading to another printer anytime soon. What do you mean by your own ink formulation?
I haven't actually tried printing with diffrent settings but I played with it and it looks like the dither setting is only avalable if you set the quality slider to 4 or 5. I have a question for you (or anybody that knows the answer). My quality slider goes 1-5 but it will not let me set it on 1, only 2-5. Mine is the i850. Any ideas?
As far as I know, drying time just adds a delay between printing of pages so they don't stick together if you have a slower drying paper type. It doesn't actually slow down the printing of the page itself.
I could be that you are not slowing it down enough. The program I used most is dvdx (part of the process of copying a dvd to a cdr). It slows the computer down enough that if you have multiple windows open, and click a window that was underneath, it can take 20-30 seconds for the window to fully display. It slowed my printing to double the time and the printed results showed a big diffrence. Just something to keep in mind should you want to try it down the road. I would think a 3d render in photo shop would even slow your system to a crawl.
Get some very fine pigments, glycol, resins, and see what happens. If it plugs I will just buy another head or ditch the printer. It has served its purpose already (that S900 has done over 8000 4x6 prints!).
It depends on the paper type that you have selected, where according to the paper selected every time (and also borderless or not) some of the quality settings will be disabled. Which paper type are you referring to? Let me know and I can have a look, although I have the i950.
Kodak Premium Picture paper (glossy) available from Costco for $25/100. It's my guilty little secret that I like this paper. The Kodak paper is villified by most people on the board, but I think it's because it has such trouble absorbing ink. It can show "bronzing" in certain condidtions, too. I did a profile for it on http://wandb.com/icm.htm . The profile isn't perfect, but I get some pretty good results with the combination.
Rick, I tried the programme in XP, but as soon as I open the programme (before I click the GO button) my processor shoots up to 100% in the windows task manager!
I am using norton to watch my processor, memory etc. My processor was at normal levels untill I clicked go. By the way I am using xp home if it matters. (I am also using a boot manager to run windows 98 but that shouldn't effect this. I guess you didn't even get to this point as it seemed to start automatically, but I only puit it in high. What exactlly happened when you clicked on th program and what did you do after that?(I am just trying to figure out what hapened when you used it).
