    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    "I can guarantee you that I will make an absolute mess of the hot glue >_> and possibly fail to seal the hole properly anyways." I believe you, attitude is everything!

    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    "I know I can't do top-fill because it requires an air-tight seal that I can't produce (my German hole is all jagged from my attempts to cut off all the little plastic bits, and yes, I use scotch tape to plug the hole)." Not so! Buy a hobbyist's hot glue/melt gun and use it to seal the top...

    Top filling mod for 3800 & 3880 refillable carts.

    Gents, I think I'm observing the effects of a low ink level and lots of air in the cart. At this point when printing a large pix, 13x19 or more I'm seeing some banding start. If, several minutes later I print a smaller pix, 6x9, no banding. Should I print another large pix 5,10 or 20 mins later...

    Rod, No, it was my suggestion that we freeze our inks that was taken too seriously. Our posters used ice-cube trays and when summer came (global warming!!) they (the cubes) were thrown into the punch bowls--even my Colormunki got drunk (pun intended!!). Best to you in OZ--look me up sometime...
