dear ezCISS..I m looking for IP3680..however i got several question:
1: As i knew, IP3680 used 4 Dye and 1 Pigment ink..can i simply change any of it? use all pigment or some pigment or vise versa?
2. Previously i used IP1980, there is scratch mark on the printed paper maybe from the roller. This happen to all type of photo paper i used except if I printed using Esyink A4 Rc Satin Photo Paper. I believe this also happen to all IP1980 since my friend also got the same problem. The question is, do this happen to IP3680?
3. IP1980 minimum droplet is 2pl..so, it is not suprising if i can see the dot/grainy in my printed paper. What can u say, in term of image quality between this two type of printer?
4. I used to set my photo to be 300dpi, using same color profile (photo and printer) before print..is it enough?
Too many questions la..hahaha

..sorry..i just need the clarification before i upgrade to IP3680 or get much better spec printer rather than buy twice.
Lastly, do PM me price of canon IP3680 + refillable catridge + ink

1. For Dye Ink - use back Dye ink only. For Pigment ink - use Pigment ink OR Dye ink.
2. Printhead Scratch marks, Paper feed roller marks, or dotted pizza roller trails? From the info provided, I'm guessing the dotted pizza roller trails? Thus due to the paper thickness g/m2. Please ensure that the correct print and paper settings matches your paper type. Do use inkjet paper too, normal stationary simili paper can give funky outputs
3. It's not about picoliter (0.000000000001L), it's more related to the printer resolution capability. The resolution difference is far and apart comparing those 2 models.
4. 300dpi is sufficient for A4 size printing.
5. Drop me an email for further discussion.
6. IP3680 is a 4 colour printer.. you can also look at Epson T60 which is a 6 colour photo printer.
