p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canon Pro9500 Mark II printing issue - ink flood on print | |
I've had this printer for 4 years now and have had no issues until yesterday - last used it about 2 months ago.
The first print out of it on Canon glossy plus II paper (5x7) was an absolute mess with ink puddled and runny all over it. I then selected plain paper (drop-down menu) and printed on 8.5x11 copy paper - no problems. Changed paper type back to glossy plus II (drop-down) and re-tried 5x7 print - same problem. I have been using this paper ever since I got the printer.
Tried 2 more times with other settings...same problem. One of the ink tanks ran out at this point, so I had to stop and order more ink before continuing.
While I'm waiting for the ink to arrive (3 days?) I've been analyzing what the issue could be - damaged driver or ICC profile? I was using the 16-bit driver and will re-download both 8 and 16-bit drivers and probably test using the 8-bit one if the results from 16-bit driver are the same.
What about the ICC profile? Could this be damaged? If so, the only resource I can find is the original installation CD.
I have not made any changes to how I print or what settings I use, so, either the printer or a digital file is broken. I doubt it's the printer, since it works fine on plain paper.
If you have experienced the same issue with this printer, I would like to hear how you resolved it. Thanks for you help!
