I have a Canon IPF 6100 printer and have begun printing gallery wraps on Epson Premium Canvas and trying to

protect them with Eco Print Shield. I have followed all the recommendations of Eco Print Shield (and allowed the

prints to dry and cure longer than recommended) however, I have an issue with the ink lifting from the print. I realize

the ink is a water based dye ink and Eco Print Shield is aqueous based as well. I discussed this problem with the

manufacturer of Eco Print Shield and after several Emails they told me there was a known problem with Canon inks.

I'm not sure I believe them as this was the answer only after the fourth Email and was a terse message. It feels like

they just wanted me to go away. In my discussion with Canon, they stated that they do not verifiy third party

manufacturer's products and do not manufacture or sell a print shielding/sealing product.

 

Is anyone printing on canvas with Canon printers and sealing the print with a different product or have any

suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

Another great lens to consider is the Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED AF-D . No VR and much cheaper. At B&H its $890 for the import http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/124669-GREY/Nikon_1986_80_200mm_f_2_8_ED_AF_D.html .

I am looking for a reasonably priced monitor in the 20 -21" that can be

accurately color calibrated. I purchased a Hewlett-Packard LP2065 20" LCD

MONITOR from B & H photo. It was defective and could not be calibrated. I

know that it is calibratible as I know an outstanding wedding photographer who

successfully calibrates and uses one. I also have a Dell 21 monitor that

doesn't calibrate well. I have used both the Spyder and Eyeone systems to

avail. I am considering an Apple Cinema Display 20" monitor but use windows

based CS3 and Apple provides no support for the monitor when used with a

windows system. My questions: Is it worth the risk of using the Apple

monitor? Does anyone have a recommendation for another monitor in my price

range that is currently available and which they have successfully calibrated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

I have just ordered a Fuji S5 and already own a Nikon MC 20 Remote Cord for my

F-100. I also just recently read that it is usable with the S5. However, the

manual lists only the MC 22, 30 % 36. Does anyone know if there are any

electrical or other reason it the mc 20 won't work or was it just not included

because of its age. It's been a good and reliable reomote which i woruld like

to continue to use.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have been receiving an ERR message with the D70. The manual says to send the

camera back to Nikon for repair. However, I already know I am going to buy

another body - most likely a Fuji S5 or Nikon D300 but that is another issue -

as I have started doing weddings and portraits. However, I was counting on the

D70 as a backup.

 

The error first occured with a 28-200 f 3.5-5 Sigma lens on the camera.

Suddenly the aperture was stuck at f/22 and wouldn't change. I think I may

have used the depth of field preview just before hand. I changed lenses to a

Nikon 105 f/2 lens and it worked fine. I put the Sigma lens on another D70

body and the lens worked fine. Later that day I used the camera again and put

the Sigma lens on to see if it would work and it worked fine for a few shots

the the error occured again.

 

At this point it seems to occur intermittently with any of my lenses.

Yesterday it didn't work at all, today it was fine.

 

I have the following questions:

 

1. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

 

2. Should I send it to Nikon and spend whatever they charge to diagnose it or

just spend the money to buy another used D70 or D200?

 

3. Any other recommendations?

 

At this point I just do not trust this camera and obviously wouldn't rely on it

as my prime camera for a wedding and am even concerned about keeping it as a

backup.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

It has been my understanding that Tokina and Tamron lenses were not all that great when used with High Megapixel (>10) cameras and that you saw every defect in the glass. Is this so? And, if so, wouldn't one be wiser to invest in better glass from the start?

FYI - Refixed and Rewashed. Problem resolved. Thanks.

I thought fixing might be the answer but I was afraid I might bleach out the negative. Thanks for the input. I'll give it a shot.

I recently developed 3 rolls of Ilford 400 pro film in T-max RS and fixed in

TF4. They were washed in 68 degree tap water for 10 minutes after 60 seconds

in hypoclearing solution.

 

The problem is that on one roll only there is a brown stain running the length

of the roll but not extending to the edge of the roll.

 

Any ideas will be appreciated.

I went to Nepal 3 years ago and took a lot of photos. Thinking to

save the film from additional radiation (2 weeks at 11,000 feet or

higher plus several airport x-ray exposures I had them processed in

Katmandu. Now three years later, when I pulled a couple of the

negatives and scanned them I noticed that they all have

these "white" defects. Does anyone know why? Was it poor

processing? Lack of hardener in the processing? I have stored them

in Archival negative sleeves. They do seem to scratch easily. I'm

afraid that this will continue to worsen and I have begun scanning

them all to clean them in PS. If there is a method by which I can

halt this from advancing I'd like to give it a try. Thanks for the

help.
