HP Plotter Does Better Than My High End Canon and Epson Printers

- I love this printer! It has specific qualities that make it stand out over my Epson and now Professional Canon Printers. I think about it this way- I love both 400TX and TMAX400 - both B&W films and both 400 speed but sooo different. This printer hits that spot- it’s not trying to be an 12 ink system with ultra-precision- it is unique with its color palette and like the Canon Pro 4600 I just purchase has user replaceable heads which is awesome!

I love how knowledgeable you are on the tools you use! Most people treat printers like alien technology
Thank you!
I had an HP printer, copier, scanner that had that head, great machine, even the touchscreen is the same, and yeah, if you didn't have the paper stop out it would deliver it to the floor, always thought the head was big but it seems to have been used in multiple machines.
I bet youtube recommended this because it thinks this is harry potter.
You're a plotter, Harry! Harry Plotter 😂
There are some small printers, like the Canon G7020, that have pigment black and dye CMY as well. Not the highest quality pigments or dyes, but they do get a bit larger color gamut in the greens compared to the Pro-4600 (but worse color gamut in the blues and violets)
On my small Deskjet, when I get a blocked print head, I take a plastic plate that I fill with a 50-50 mix of distilled water and 90% Isopropyl and just let the head grid soak for a few hours. It often will just unclog the bad nozzles.
Yep did that with the old head once and worked fine- this time it was just a bit too much gone
Is it difficult to remove a print head. I have an epson 4900 with a spectroproofer where the head has dried out. Is possible I could rescue it using your method?
I suspect no-- there are also cleaning carts that can be run but again if it is really dried out it can be very difficult to save
What do you recommand to print negatives for Palladium in big size ?
Probably an Epson - maybe running Cone inks as they have a very good setup for that-
@@FIGITALREVOLUTION thank you so much
@ you bet!
My Canon Pro 9000 mark II finally died the other day. Probably a hardware failure. I've had this printer at least 10 years if I recall correctly and never had an issue with it. No clogging nozzles, etc. Since I've been out of the printer loop for many years, I'm looking for suggestions on something that produces similar prints and reliability. Any suggestions are appreciated.
If you like your previous Canon then I would start with their new offerings- 10 years is a great run and technology has improved but not as much as it could have- there is very little pressure on any of the printer manufacturers to make major improvements-
@@FIGITALREVOLUTION thanks for taking the time to reply. Since I haven't looked into buying a printer for the last 10 years, I'm totally out of the loop and the reason for asking.
Why didn't finish the old color tanks first?
They had been sitting for some time
And wanted a clean install with the new head- also, they were almost empty.
@FIGITALREVOLUTION maybe use them for a colorful experiment?
@ I sometime open up and use for spotting on prints if their is a paper issue
So is the HP plotter a Tri-X 400 or T-MAX 400 ? I know those Kodak films very well, the T-MAX 400 are superior !
Somewhere in between- not as smooth as TMAX- but not as course at 400TX
