I have seen on some supply sites that you can buy replacement lids for Lexmark carts to convert to Dell sorry can't remember exactly where but a good search on the net should get results

Here are some pictures of an s9000 disasemmbled http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1937#p1937

Maybe this thread on the bc-03s may help http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=335

I get these marks if the paper is not dead flat IE has a curl

Very possibly a blocked head try removing the head and soak it in a tray of warm water and detergent for ten minutes

MrHammy Welcome fellow Canberran I would be more than happy to help you out with either compatable cartridges, refills or bulk ink at a very good price and advice is free.We are on Marcus Clarke St. in the city ph 62474030 if I can be of any help. Sorry Rob I don,t mean to use...

I believe a glue gun and a hot wax gun are the same thing they use a stick of hard wax feed to a heated nozzle .they are very cheap to buy I got mine from a stationary store but hardware stores and supermarkets also sell them.

Sophia I think your problem here is the tape used to seal the hole,normally when the ball bearing is pushed in it is then replaced with another ball bearing for a good seal I think the tape you are using is not sealing properly and allowing a flow out the head. or alternatively, as I...

I have no problems with MIS shipping to Australia they are very helpful and well priced, shipping has only cost about $10.00 US for a small parcel and generaly takes about 5 to 7 days and I can pay by credit card

Rob I thought 50 or so mls of ink vacuumed out was plenty, WRONG it was only when I tipped the printer on an angle that ink ran out and it was obvious I was going to have to pull it apart with my trusty 20 years + old needle nose pliers that is missing one handle pad. :) Unfortunately I did not...

Granddad hope this photo clarifies a few things for you The pad itself is about 2cm thick and is made from some type of wool like material kinda like a quilt. The drain posts from the over spray sponge is a very dense type of sponge, similar to the type inside a Canon cart but much denser...

the priming cycle on the printer does help but is not as strong as a priming pump to draw ink from the sponge into the nozzles especially if the cart has been run dry they are a clip on attachment that fits over nozzle and ink is drawn out with a syinge they are very inexpensive but well worth...

At a guess 12 months worth of borderless printing, 3 to 4000 A4 prints worth and cleaning or deep cleaning just about every second day mostly because of the pesky light magenta cart not printing. The printer is an A3+ printer so has a bigger waste pad than an A4, so by approximation I would get...

After studying this web site for a while I thought this guy was a little contradictory but then realized his philosophy on cart refilling is a simple one. We all go to far in our attempts to clean heads, rejuvenate sponges etc to the point were damage is actually done when all thats needed is...

A couple of posts ago I posed the question how many times can you reset the ink tank full message without actually doing anything and on another post attempted to use a vacuum line to empty the tank Rob thought 40 to 50 mls was quite a lot of ink to get get out. But let me tell you Rob it wasn't...
