Marengo print better than Alpha Video print
936348
I'm not going to discuss the movie (which I like).  I just want to indicate that I have seen and compared two of the releases of Nothing Sacred on DVD and the Marengo version, despite having problems, is superior to the Alpha release in both picture and sound.  I can't speak for other versions.  The Alpha Video print seems to be the most popular version of this movie that is purchased here at Amazon but it is inferior to the Marengo DVD of Nothing Sacred/A Star is Born.  I can only hope that perhaps a Criterion or Kino version will come out soon.  There is still a lot of room for improvement.

Very disappointed in the scanned picture quality. I had much higher expectations. Wonderful support from Wolverine as they sent a replacement unit very promptly. The new unit produced identical quality images as the first. The F2D Mighty may still be fine for quick copies. I am providing two un-doctored pictures of the same slide, for comparison. One from the F2D Mighty and the other taken with a Panasonic point and shoot camera. You can clearly see the results of each method.

If all you have is the means for scanning color prints, this is the film for you.  Otherwise, try to still get some Ektachrome 100VS as that's much better.

We picked up this "HP Everyday Photo Paper" to print product pictures for my wife's small business on better quality paper than "plain paper". The end results are better than plain paper, but far below most other lower cost photo paper. Here are my observations:

Pros -
+ Inexpensive; for photo paper, this is relatively low priced

Cons -
- Slow Drying; my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Brother-MFC-6490CW-Professional-Series-Color-Inkjet-Wireless-All-in-One-Printer/dp/B001AVPQ48/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Brother MFC-6490CW Professional Series Color Inkjet Wireless All-in-One Printer</a>&nbsp;has fairly quick drying ink on most papers, but was really surprised that my prints smudged even after sitting for more than five minutes
- Marginal Image Quality; no amount of tweaking I could do produced "outstanding" results

We will use the rest of this paper, but will not buy it again.

Watching this BD on a 110' PJ thru a Epson 9500, the picture is quite nice, but not night and day with the MGM SD. Save your MGM SD as it has featurettes that are not on the BD. Throw away your non-anamorphic Anchor Bay SD.

The cartridges were packaged properly and included installation instructions.

I replaced the cartridges as a pair and ran the calibration routine twice.  I'm disappointed in two aspects of the print quality: 1) The text  -- black and color -- is a bit fuzzy, fuzzier than the Genuine HP cartridges used formerly. 2) There are streaks in the magenta bars printed in the calibration routine.

I don't expect the same print quality from third party remanufacturers as OEM supplies so this is an acceptable compromise for lower cost.

Love the logo design, but the printing technique (plasticy silkscreen) leaves something to be desired. My favorite modern shirts are soft throughout the printing, without the cheap plastic/vinyl silkcreen that starts cracking right away.

Alpha Video is still living in the 1980's when video companies could distribute garbage, and collectors accepted it. However, in these times with digital transfers, and the use of original print source material, the days of companies like Alpha are numbered. Sure these are harder to find Brown films, and yes the may only be available at present in the 16mm format, but Alpha's "source material" is a VHS transfer probably made in the late 1980's. Alpha consistently uses VHS tape, not even 3/4" tape! Alpha distributes below par transfers for a profit, and collectors purchase them not knowing the history of this lousy company. BTW: Any of their good transfers are bootlegged from distributors like Image Entertainment, KINO or Flicker Alley. Why doesn't anyone take Alpha to task?

The color print of the "Empire Strikes Back" is more towards the magenta side tone rather than the blue-er tone pictured. Because of the slight color tone shift, it saturates some of the shading on Han Solo's side profile so the lighting contours of his cheek bones are not as defined and looks a little awkward to me. That said, most people WOULD NOT NOTICE that on the print. Still, (-1) Star for that reason.

As everyone said, the poster does have a noticeable white border. It's a 1 inch white border on the sides, 1/2 inch white border at the bottom which includes the name of the poster and "printed in USA," and the top is about 1/4 of an inch. Paper quality is actually better than other posters I've ordered from other companies including allposters.com.

The whole poster not filling the 27x40 is common when I've ordered prints from different companies.
-I have a "Dead Poets Society" 27x40 print where the bottom was cut off up the point the bottom line of the movie rating box is cut. That one was from allposters.com and paid $30 for that print and you can see the faint, purple-ly inkjet lines near the bottom as the bottom credits section of the poster itself is supposed to be black.
-I've also attached a picture of my "Amadeus" where you can see it's about a 1/2 inch short on either side of the 27 inches. That one was from movieposters.com.

So it seems if you want to get a print that is guaranteed the correct dimensions (and even color balance), you prob need to splurge on the original, two-sided movie print itself.

Lastly, shipping was phenomenal. I ordered the print on Friday and chose standard delivery. The poster came in on the following Wednesday on the 19th even though Amazon/USPS stated it would arrive between 20-25th.

Note, I'm only a few months into 3D printing so I'm still on a learning curve.
I'm still messing with it and it could go in stars as I tested with harder & harder prints, but so far so good.  I made a 3-d puzzle and an elephant figuring and they looked quite nice.  I have a Monoprice MK11 (rebranded Wanhao Duplicator 6) and the spool fits on the spool holder on the back of the unit.  I may not of thought of this as a feature except the spool I got from Monoprice didn't  work.
I'll see if I can't upload some pictures if I get a chance along with some using a microscope camera.

The Pro9500 printer is a good option for those who want archival quality prints on reduced gloss or art papers. If you want to do glossy prints, you may not like the result. In most prints, some areas will not look glossy when viewed certain angles.

WHAT YOU WILL LIKE:

You can probably find a [...] promotional rebate for a while yet. It's giving way to the 9500 Mark II.

The pigmented inks on Canon paper have an independently verified (fade) permanence rating of 100 years plus.

It's easy to add profiles for third party papers in the Canon color management workflow.

I can now validate that the three-black inks give EXCELLENT black and white results.

Canon has some great (not cheap) art papers. Museum Rag, Museum Etching, Premium Matte. There are a lot of third party offerings that work well with this printer (Ilford Pearl is highly touted)

Color accuracy is amazing. Best I have experienced compared to a dozen or more printers. I usually have to tweak color settings to get most printers to match a calibrated monitor even with their own papers. This gem printed it's very first photo with flawless color rendition on Ilford Smooth Classic, using Ilford's free ICC profile. The finest changes I can detect on my monitor are visible in the print. Wow! What a pleasure.

This printer is built like a tank. It should outlast my Toyota Tundra, and nothing outlasts a Tundra!

WHAT YOU MAY NOT LIKE:

Not what I would choose for glossy, but I didn't buy this for snapshots. I bought it to provide my customers with archive longevity.

Slow. Probably the biggest improvement that the Mark II offers. I don't really care as I'm not in mass production. Color matching outweighs this for me.

When print media is set for the Fine Art papers, the 13x19's have an 1-1/2" boarder! This is to prevent curl from edge bleed. Workaround is to use the Matte setting, but this defeats the work Canon put into matching their ink placement to their papers. I can now say it is a bad workaround.

It doesn't come with a USB cord, so buy one!

CONCLUSION:

I would recommend the 9500 to anyone who is not going to be printing glossy, and wants lab quality prints with archival fade resistance.

Basically OK.  However, resolution, or crispness, of print on fabric not as good as it would have been if printed on high quality paper.  This was my only option for the image and dimensions I was looking for.  As such, it is acceptable but not as good as I would have liked.

I've been printing 3.2 megapixel images on this and they're virtually indistinguishable from a "real" photo, even at the 7.64x10" full size (7.7 megapixel as advertised in the printer information) resolution. Don't believe the inkjet monkeys who tell you that an inkjet can produce comparable prints - they can't.
I chose this printer over the others available because of the size it is capable of printing, the better color-handling (for instance, the sony dye-subs tend to skew towards overly bright and red tones), and the recommendations of hard-core photo people.
Things you should know about this printer: when all is said and done, you can find this printer for under three hundred, and 100 prints are going to run you about a buck sixty five each (for a single 8x10) if you shop around. If you want smaller, cheaper photos, just print two or four up on a sheet, get 4 prints out of it on a sheet for about 40 cents each. Get out the scissors, and enjoy. Horray.
The printer has been having EXTREME difficulty printing directly from a smart media card - I don't like printing two-dollar blank pages - I've only had consistent success printing via USB connection to my 'puter, but it's a lot faster than printing from the smart media card anyway, so no real loss there - just something to keep in mind.
Reviewers have noted that the ink ribbon can be difficult to install. I don't really agree - olumpus' packaging makes this a straight forward procedure - it's just a little more work than the plug-in-the-inkjet-cartridge laziness we've all become accustomed to.
The printer is rather large and heavy, but you have to understand this was really initially intended as a professional's printer. It is solidly built, has a real feeling of quality construction. Just make sure if your living space is small that you've hollowed out a suitably sized location - think of it like a 16" monitor and you're working along the right lines size and space-wise.
For those with a mac (like me - running OS X 10.3), Olympus is seriously lagging on making a compatible driver. I wrote them and got a swift but lackluster response (no deadline for producing a driver). After printing several blank pages directly from my memory card and freaking out, I found the solution: do a google search for "Gimp-print," an open source & free driver bundle for the mac that runs under 10.3, and powers this printer just fine (so far - haven't tested with photoshop yet - only iPhoto, but I suspect it'll do just fine). It's free. Yay. Problem solved, no thanks to Olympus.
For those of you looking at this printer vs the P-440, the newer version of this printer, the differences are relatively minor (though the 440 does do TRUE 8x10 prints). They use the same paper and ink ribbons, so presumably olympus has a vested interest in continuing to make consumeables for this hardware.
Driver bitterness aside, the quality coming out of this printer had me jumping up & down once the photos started coming out. I'm really pleased, and the overall quality of the prints is enough to let me overlook the negatives, which have all been temporary.

I saw this printer on an episode of The Fine Bros Elders React. It is one of the best looking 3D printers out there with a refined design compared to some other printers out there. I saved for a few months to purchase this printer. Unfortunately I was disappointed with my initial experience. Before I edited this review I listed all the problems I was experiencing with the printer such as stringing, the brass lugs slipping out, prints shifting on the Y-axis mid print, and the Z-axis traveling in the wrong direction or not getting close to the bed.

After I had posted this review, I was pretty much done with this printer and initiated a return, but I did order another one thinking it was a bum unit. Jerry from Robo 3D reached out to me on my review and offered his expertise on the problems I was having. We had a discussion via Skype and he walked me through some procedures to get the printer to print at its best. After everything was said and done, it was a night and day difference. I re-printed this box I designed for a LCD display and it came out so much better than the one I printed the night before. There are some other modifications I will need to do, such as covering the bottom with heating duct tape to keep the cork from drooping and adjusting one of the current pots for the Y-axis.

Before I tried ABS and gave up because it always lifted or turned into a stringy mess. Now I am printing a Raspberry Pi box with ABS. The lid came out great with some slight lifting, but it is a major improvement from the previous result.

I really appreciate the support I received from Jerry at Robo 3D and based on all the results I have been getting, Ive decided to change my review. It is a great printer and one of the more refined designs out there, but it may require some tweaking and support to get it to print optimally.

I purchased  this printer at Joanna.  I have done several tests and found out that the print quality is excellent. To get the best print you must start with a quality shot. If you have a good photo and need to edit , use a professional program . Any app on a phone will compres the photo even when just exporting and the print will result in lower quality!

Also, look for my video on YouTube,  Easy Portable Power for Canon Selphy Printer.

I bought this printer from a Brick and mortar vendor.  This printer's prints are pristine - excellent quality prints from this printer for the price.  While I haven't tried printing anything in B&W like resumes this printer lives up to its photo printer heritage.  The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that printing 8X10 isn't as intuitive as it should be.  The software wants to print an 8X10 on an 8.5X11 sheet, however I found if you put an 8X10 into the paper tray and print it using this template it works just fine.  I think this would be confusing to some people as it was a little confusing to me.  I would recommend this printer to anyone!

Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X8 is okay. I did not find it as user friendly as I would have liked. Still working on a short film, which is coming along very slowly. Used help many times. I wish someone would make these kind of programs easy for a non-pro. Unless you are a computer geek pro and understand the language, I'd stick with Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with most computers with Microsoft. For $80.00 via Amazon Prime shipping it's a bit pricey. Hopefully after playing around with it for the weeks to come, I'll understand it better.
