I would give cleaning a try, but I cannot access the print head.

Thanks, I will.

Thanks. No luck with the video, the print head never moves at all. I only use Canon cartridges and make about five prints per week, mostly 8x10.
A new 9500 is $500+, if a print head is really that expensive I guess it is time to send my photos to an on-line system.

I have received this error plus the 10-flash orange light, and looking on-line it seems it is likely a print head problem. However, I am unable to contact Canon (for a week the phone line always gives a 'closed' message, no replies to emails over the same period) so I am hoping someone on this site might have an insight towards resolving the problem. Unplugging makes no difference and I am unable to access the print head. I have looked at multiple 'solutions' online with no luck. The B200 is an error seen on many Canon models but the 9500 is different from most in that the printhead is a separate device and can only be removed if it moves to the center, which is is not doing. Even if successful, since I cannot reach Canon, I have no way of arranging a return. One site did suggest that I would probably have to take it to an authorized repair center, but the closest is 70 miles away! Many thanks

Thanks. Unfortunately the thread is six years old and the information does not match my model of the printer.

Moderators: if this is not the appropriate forum, please advise me.

I have become interested in flowers that are small (typically less than 1/4 inch). Many are on plants that produce masses of small flowers, so the visual effect is that of a larger bloom. My first effort is with Russian Sage that produces spikes (probably not the correct botanical term) of blue flowers. Individually, they look like this. Nikon D500, 105 Macro+extension tube, tethered to Helicon Remote and stacked using Helicon Focus.

Unfortunately, the only diffuser I had was my handkerchief. Nikkor 105 macro, 1/60-sec at f/4.5. Stack of 15 images processed with Helicon Focus.

Thanks for all the replies. I have sent a summary to my son. Now he will have to decide for himself.

If your beloved is the right height s/he might act as a suitable rest!

I am using stacking software to get pictures of scorpions for a colleague. I am using a Nikon 5300 with the 105 macro lens and using Helicon Remote and Focus. The legs have very fine bristles that are used in identification, so I want to keep them clearly visible. At high magnification they start to blur, too low and they are no longer clear. I have been playing it by ear, but wondered if there was typically a 'sweet spot' in such cases.

When looking at or printing images, do you have a rule of thumb for which level of magnification works best? At 100% edges are often blurred but as you decrease the magnification the image may look sharper, but you are losing some information.

Or am I asking the wrong question?

Does anyone have recommendations for high-intensity LED bulbs that will fit into a standard light socket?

Thanks

While very attractive, the spines carry a toxin that can give a very nasty skin reaction.
