Hmmm, those are EXACTLY the settings that I used, and there is
definitely too much red in the pictures. Maybe the paper has changed
because it's so old (going on 5 years since I bought that pack).

I may be able to compensate for the redness by setting colors
manually, like I do with the Illford, but in this case it would be
just trial & error, whereas with the Illford, the recommended settings
worked just fine.

I really doubt that the nozzle pattern or head alignment is out of
wack, since I just set it up two days ago, and adjusted the alignment
on setup, and I get great images on the Canon Photo Pro and Illford
papers.

BTW, a couple of posts back you mentioned that Illford paper fades
"significantly quicker" (than the 25 years expected for the Canon
Pro). Can you give me an idea what you mean by that? Do you mean the
same degree of fading after 1 year? 5 years? I can probably accept 10+
years, but I'd cringe if it's only 1 year to 5.



That's probably why you get such poor resoluts - buy a new pack.

Illford papers can last with Canon i950/i850 inks from about 3-10
years. After that peroid you may observe some fading on your
printouts.

Except using Canon PR-101, I also use (i850/i950) papers from Olympus
(Pictorico series - they are the same if not better than pr-101 - I
strongly recommend that you try those papers!) and Red River papers
(also great).

Papers I don't recommend:

- epson
- kodak
- office depot (except high gloss film)
- konica
- tdk

So, if you want hi-quality photos that will last, try Olympus
Pictorico papers and Red River papers (and of course pr-101).
