I have a Canon Pro-100 that I've had for several years. I've gotten really good prints from it. But now I notice two issues that are probably totally unrelated.

First: I usually print via the Windows print command from an explorer window. When I print a B&W in standard print mode (using colour), it turns out sepia (and I don't like sepia prints). If I tell it to print in B&W, it turns out with a blueish cast. Don't like that either. What I want is a true black and white. I did try printing from LR the other day and it was better. But I like printing from Windows better. It's a LOT easier and faster.

Second: I've noticed that a lot of the prints that I make and leave sitting on the dining room table or on the piano fade rather quickly. I don't notice the ones that are mounted, matted, and sleeved fading, but they are kept in a box. Now I'm hesitant and offering my printed images for sale. I don't want clients coming back in 6 months complaining their picture has faded! (And YES, I use Canon original inks!)

Any clues on resolving either of these issues would be appreciated.

In order to get the best print longevity it's best to use all Canon products, including paper.

Here is some testing on some Red River papers - it is far less than the 100+ years when you use Chromalife 100 ink and paper

I think I've already stated that I use Canon inks and Canon papers. I'll look into the links you offered. Thanks.

I suggest you check out JToolman youtube videos and possible visit his fb group. Printer GURU who knows more than you would want to know.
