Hi All.
I have a great digital photo of a family member. I printed it on my
i9900,
using oem ink and the like, and thought it looked good. However, after
printing it also at the one hour place, I notice the one I printed on the
i9900 has way too much red in the skin tones. Has anyone else experienced
this? I printed it using the Canon Easy Print software. Maybe I would have
better luck using the pict bridge and print directly from the camera?

I have read your other posts stating same results on both your Canon and HP
papers, so I think we can rule out paper as the possible cause. One thing to
keep in mind is that the Canon Easy Photo Print software prints the picture
using the EXIF Data contained within the image file. This is done to give as
close a representation as possible to what 'the camera' saw based on its
settings when the photo was shot. If your cameras white balance was off a
touch or you were shooting indoors with the outdoor mode this could cause
this. Also in Easy PhotoPrint under the 'Paper Selection' tab remove the
check mark from 'Vivid Photo' if it is there.
 
Talking about weink inks. I bought a set of 6 colors of ink for my i960
more than a year ago. The blue color was clearly not as blue as Canon OEM's
blue. I wrote weink support about it and never got any replies. I no longer
use weink any more. The ink was RC-52 ink.

It's the photo cyan, and I agree with your observation except that I
prefer the Weink version since the Canon is too blue in my opinion.
In i9900 reviews around the Internet you read about the excess blue
tint of this printer, and the Weink version does correct that issue
for better or worse.
 
Doesn't printing with Easy Print still use the i9900 printer driver?
If so, what settings/options were used in the printer driver? (There
are a number of them, ie: Color Adjustment Auto/Manual, Enable ICM,
Print Type {None,Auto,Photo,Graphic}, Vivid Photo, etc).

I have all options disabled and prints come out fantastic; but, I
print using Photoshop CS on Canon papers using the Canon paper
profiles. There was one other poster a while back that had color
probs with their i9900 - I think Canon told them to return it and get
another and the new one is fine.

You're right. Too blue is a problem with the oem ink in the canon i9900.

In my opinion, Canon OEM's blue is very beautiful blue. It is always bluer
than weink RC-52's blue. I don't think it is Canon that is too blue. Of
course color is very subjective. You may actually like weink's blue. But
to me it is a mismatch of color from weink's RC-52 ink. Canon's blue
apparently has a wider gamut than weink's blue.

Well moron, I see you're screwed up again. You don't even have shit for
brains anymore do you. Plus you own an i9900 canon printer do you. All
you have is an ip4000. So when I say the i9900 produces too much blue. i
know what I'm talking about.
Got it?

It drove me crazy. I have the Pantone Printfix and DoctorPro
applications (and the little scanner) and can make my own control
files. Job one was to get rid of that damn excess blue. It's the
Photo Cyan cartridge specifically.

I just got my i9900 back this morning from Canon. They put a warranty
replacement new head in it. Possibly some of my earlier ink
experiments may have damaged it although I was careful. Just bought a
Formulabs ink refill kit from alotofthings.com, and hopefully that
approach will work OK! If that's too blue, I can fix it at least with
the Pantone doodads.

It runs in the family. My mommy is a dumb **** too and we never could
figure out who my daddy was. Maybe it was me. My only contribution to
humanity has been the stench of stupidity that permeates my presence.
I am a total loser.
