Oohh I think I'm better at being naughty than good... Please Santa can I have a set of resettable ink cartridge chips for Christmas please please please :)

You got a mega deal compared to what I paid in England last week...way more than double what you got yours for. Those deals in the US are amazing. I'm enjoying using mine for sure and am not holding my breath for the resettable cartridge chips to come out :)

Wow, up to a month! that's way too long...I mean it's not like spectacularly complex technology is it. I suspect they'd just change various boards/modules and hey presto it'd be up and running in no time. On Canon's website they list the Pro 100, 10, and 1 as professional printers (the 9500...

Forgive me The Hat, I've ducked behind the sofa ready for a blasting following your Pro-1 experience...but... How much and how long would a Canon service centre charge and take to fix this for you? I wonder if it's better to get a repair with a warranty rather than fixing it yourself by process...

Hi Joe, many thanks for the information, you've set my mind at rest. Manufacturers do get funny about modifications don't they. I once asked a VW main dealer to fit a VW alarm to be fitted to my Seat Ibiza car. VW weren't having any of it - in fact they were quite rude about the request...

Can I ask some advice, does this thread's turn of events apply to me and my new Pro-100 if I manually refill my cartridges? It sounds like Canon's service centres are hyper touchy about any modifications or third party ink use. I'm a new Pro-100 owner and hope I don't fall foul of any 'man...

Our world's going to be like 1984 -with Big Brother and the Thought Police, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and Minority Report, combined with Dr Stranglove! On that happy note I'm looking forwards to getting my Pro 100 tomorrow so I can express some of my individuality :)

Thanks Emulator, I appreciate your best wishes. Finger's crossed all will settle in okay and I'll not find producing my first prints too frustrating an experience. Technology and printers aren't always a happy balance eh :) Many thanks also for the tip re the Sihl paper at Lidl, much...

I've just ordered a Pro 100 from Wex Photographic...I went for the extra 39 'bundle' of a full second set of Canon inks and 50 sheets of A3+ paper (Permajet Oyster Instant Dry Gloss A3+ 271gsm - a make I've never heard of but hope it's okay). Plus they deliver on a Saturday. So much for me using...

Thanks for both your comments in this thread. As a new buyer your help is invaluable to me I can assure you and it's much appreciated. The Wex Photographic price is what I'm paying for the Pro 100 on Saturday so I'm happy. I'm really looking forwards to trying out different papers too. There's...

Hi The Hat Thanks for your very helpful reply. I feel the Pro 100 would be best price/quality/spec ratio for me and in fact I've decided to buy one this coming Saturday...hooray. After many years of procrastination I'm finally going to upgrade my Epson 740 hehehe. I paid 156 for it too many...

Is it only a matter of time for these chips to be readily available? They can't be massively difficult to make.

Hi One and All, this is my first post on this excellent forum :) I see Park Cameras are doing the Pro-100 for 339, so with the current 50 rebate that would mean I would end up paying 289. A good buy I think and I'm very very tempted indeed. Are Park Cameras a good company to deal with? in the...
