    Refilling Canon Pixma ip4700 ?

    I just use silicone to fill the hole I made to purge the cartridge.Now I wonder if you think I should use something else instead.Sofar I have had no problems with that.Would the silicone-when dry- affect the ink? Bertil

    When should I refill ink? Should I wait until printer stops printing?

    Disney Camera

    Try Panasonic Lumix LX3 or the newer LX5.They are fantastic cameras with Leica lenses.I often prefer my LX3 to my heavy Pentax K20 D.They also take very good movies.I suppose you know what Leica stands for?Canon G12 is great too but a lot bigger and heavier. Bertil
