Re: PFP+PSCS2+Canon i9950=yellow cast in prints

2006-04-12 by peter_woelk

Hi Stephan,
years ago I had an i9000 and mine (and others too I heard in forums)
had sometimes a problem with the light cyan cart which results in
yellowish prints. I have no experiences with the i9950, but I think it
too uses the light colors twice or three times more intense than the
other colors (i9000 did).
This high volume usage caused a failure (sucking air?) mostly of light
cyan...at that time a nozze check or simple test image was ok, only
when used heavily, it failed. Replacing the light cyan cart (it never
was empty!) was the solution for two or three of those cart incidents.

Best,
Peter
