Again, thank you for all of your comments and suggestions. I was wondering if ink was the cause of my print head clogged. Im currently using Hobbicolors UW8 and wondering if it may be the reason. Prior to using Hobbicolors UW8, I use Formulabs ink from Alotofthings.com (they closed their...

Thank you for all of your responses. I don't have a new OEM cart to test it now. However, a couple of months ago, my printer had this very loud noise every time I print. The noise is very loud and the printer was much vibrated and it actually shook my printer table. It sounded like something...

I have not tried the oem cart yet. So can this be the print head problem or it just the ink flow? Thanks,

I dont know what is wrong with my Cannon MP 610. The lightest magenta color is not shown on the print nozzle check. I have done quick and deep cleaning a few times already, but same problem. I know the magenta cartridge is good because I have tested it on other printers. Below is the...

Mikling, My local Fry has a deal on the MP970 last couple week for $100 after $100 rebate. Are you recommending this printer? I may just buy this for back up just in case my MP610 die on me. The good thing is that it uses the same CD trey as the MP 610. I only use it for picture printing...

Thank you for all your help!

Thanks pharmacist, that make me feel much better now that I can go on and refill the rest of the CLI-8. I notice a little amount of ink drip out the the vent hole. Is this normal? Thanks, Dan

After purged and let the cartridge dry for a whole week, I finally refilled the BGI-5BK today. I don't know this is good or bad. The sponge absorbs the ink very fast. Actually fast is an understatement. The sponge absorbs the ink immediately. I used a total of 27ml of ink and it seems that...

I finally got all the tools I need to purge three CLI-8 and one PGI-5 cartridges. I use my mouth to blow out as much water as I can and let them sit next to the fan for the last 24 hours. The ink chamber seemed very dry, but, I can not tell if the sponge has dried or not. I intend to let them...

Thanh you so much Defcon2K!!! I will get busy this weekend.

Hi Defcon2k, I saw your video of how to flush the CLI-8 cartridges and refill it for the first time. I have a few questions for you. 1. One thing I was not clear is did you drill any hole above the sponge chamber? It seemed that inks are coming out on this side, but I don't think I see any...

Thanks Gompy, that is a very reason!!

Thanks jflan.

I have a couple questions for Pharmacist or anyone that uses his procedure to purge the Durchstich refill ink cartridges. I understand that the first thing is to fill up the ink chamber ink with distill water, and then flushing the sponge area until it clean. Finally the last step is to use...

I just bought a brand new Cannon IP3500. My intention is to use the original cartridges for my Cannon MP610 and just use the refill for the Cannon IP3500. Since I only paid $20 (after rebate) for the IP3500, I want to use this printer to test the refill and not worry about the warranty. I...
