Hey there
I’ve got a CANON PIXMA PRO printer, but I'm running into a real headache with the red tones. It doesn't look red at all—it's coming out looking more like a muddy brown. What's the fix here? Should I be cranking up a specific color setting or adjusting something else to get that punchy red back? Just so you know, I'm using pigment inks in the machine.
Thanks

hahah well I don't have a backup, that's the whole point—if I did, it wouldn't be an issue
So, I’ve got this WD 1TB external hard drive that holds all my precious stuff—I'm talking "don't lose this" levels of important. Yesterday, while I was working, the room suddenly started smelling funky, like something was burning. About an hour later, I went to plug the drive back in to get some work done, and nothing. Dead silence. No power, no spinning, absolutely nothing. It's still under warranty, so I took it over to Best Buy to see if they could fix it. They told me they're shipping it off to their service center in Washington, D.C., this coming Monday. Some people suggested I check if the power adapter died instead—which I haven't actually tried yet—while others told me I should try plugging it directly into a computer to pull my data off before sending it in. Apparently, people have had bad luck where the repair shop just wipes everything clean because they didn't back it up first. If I try to crack open the casing myself to take a look, is that going to void the warranty? I really don't want to lose that protection.
Here's the model number:

About two years ago, a similar WD drive kicked the bucket on me too. That one was in a plastic housing. Honestly, I've gone through about 12 different hard drives over the last 15 years, and not a single one has ever failed me until these last two recent ones decided to quit.
If anyone has advice, especially if you've dealt with something like this before, please let me know. I’m terrified of sending it to a service center only for them to mess things up even worse or just wipe all my data.
Thanks in advance for the quick help!
What’s the going rate for land out in the Midwest right now?
Yeah, but if you could throw some recommendations my way along with a ballpark figure on what I should expect to pay, that would be great.
thanks
Does anyone have any good recommendations for florists or gift shops around the Savannah area?
