There’s no way to control the cunning ink reservoirs, colour balance and profile, resolution etc. This means that the output is essentially just draft quality inkjet. The root cause is that Canon has not created a ppd for the printer on a mac. The quality wasn’t great, so I looked for the ‘quality knob’ to twiddle and couldn’t find anything over and above the most basic settings. I’d read that it was 5 mins/page in highest quality, but the test print ran through in about 15 seconds for A3. So, we get it home (weighs a ton) and set it up and pages just RACE through it. The ‘Mac compatible’ bit lulled me into a false sense of expectation.

The first thing I should have realised were that all the reviews were from PC users, raving about the step up in quality. The reason was the great reviews (rave, in fact) of the image quality, PLUS the fact it had 8 ink cartriges, build quality of an armoured vehicle and we didn’t want to touch Epson again. The rest of the post is for therapeutic purposes and the sanity of other Marital Tech Support People who have to get the printer to print…įirstly, we bought a Canon Pixma 9000.

Mac users know that the only company to have a full driver complement for their range is Epson, with HP doing pretty well as a second place. So, with Vicky having a book to get ready for London Book Fair it was back to the PITA of finding an A3 colour printer for high quality home office use. Total inability to feed paper (bit of a disadvantage in a printer).

So, the ugly, ink-swilling, temperamental Epson Stylus Pro 1270 finally died a death. in Stuff | 258 Words Getting Canon inkjets to work on a Mac… UPDATE: See the photos of the event on Nelly’s blog. You can see the panorama of the PV at the top. The whole 77 series was arrayed around the room. The added cunningness was that they’d pulled a print at each stage of the printing process (ie #1 had only the white base, while #76 had every letter finished, bar one final colour pass). It was held in a car respraying place just north of Brick Lane. The private view on 7 May, 2009 was a real scream. We ordered the print white, but there’s also a run on black and on gold. All of course need to be precisely in register. None of the colours are used elsewhere in the print so this is 3×25 ie 75 individual screen passes, plus the black and white – 77 in total. The print is a w-less alphabet, with each letter taking 3 separate passes: the base colour, the outline/border colour and then the stripey fill.
More info is on Eine’s page at Nelly Duff. The collaboration involved a world record attempt for the largest number of individual screens and colours in a single print. The latest ‘wheeze’ was collaborating with Eine (rumoured to be, ahem, Banksy’s print-maker and of course recognised creator of the alphabet of ‘circus font’ stencils that adorn most of Shoreditch and Hoxton’s store shutters). Cassius & Co are not only knowledgeable and infectiously enthusiastic, but also full of great ideas and a sense of fun. We’ve been fans of Nelly Duff for ages, and our growing collection of prints attests to this.
