Thanks again TheHat, i didnt get my cartridges confused though. I was just pointing out that i had modified the cartridges for my I560 and was wondering what the procedure was to do the same to the cartridges for my MX-892 which uses the 225/226 cartridges. I understand that it would be...

This sounds like a good plan, other than id have to be a little extra careful while filling. Ill drill out a set of new or used OEM 225/226 cartridges and see how it goes. I did this on an old I560 canon printer i still have, but it was so long ago i dont remember what method i used. Any how...

TheHat, Looks like refilling is the way to go. If i can find some OEM 221/220 cartridges, the idea Jtoolman had of keeping a spare set handy sounds like a good plan. Now how easy is it to swap over the chips?

Just picked up a Canon MX-982 for $50 and couldnt resist the deal. I knew going in that the CLI-226 AND PGI-225 cartridges are not the best out there like some of the older Canon cartridges nor are the newer Canon print heads. Like i said i couldn't pass up the deal. I want to get away from...

Ok so i went ahead and put about 2-3ml of windex into the Magenta and Cyan cartridges along with about 1ml of ink. Performed 4 head cleanings and nozzle checks back to back with no improvement of the Magenta. The first 2 head cleanings i left the plugs in as they normally would be when using the...

Im sorry mikling, maybe its just me but your replies and instructions are kind of vague. So you are suggesting i put some windex and a little ink directly in the cartridge as i suggested? Put the plugs back in pr/normal i get, but what do you mean by "Soak" did you want me to fill the pads with...

Just so i have this straight (which i dont). Im not sure if you want me to repeat the procedure i just did leaving both plugs out of the Magenta and leaving the both plugs in the Black and the Yellow and no idea what you want to do plug wise with the Cyan. Or if you just want me to put the plugs...

Ok so here are 4 scans of the nozzle checks. 1 through 3 were taken back to back after doing the nozzle cleanings as you suggested. I did not change any of the plugs when doing the nozzle checks. Seeing as how the black got bad again, i pulled all of the plugs except the ones that are there...

mikling, How many head cleans can you do in one day? Manual says 4. What happens if you exceed this or do a ton of head cleanings like i have done in the past week? Will i need to clean or replace the waste ink pad. I can try this tonight, but im wondering if you would recommend waiting till...

Ok sucked all the ink out of the color cartridges. I then drew up 4 ml of ink into the syringe. With both plugs removed from the top of the cartridge and the needle removed from the syringe i filled the cartridge from the bottom port. I could still see some air bubbles inside the cartridge after...

Would you let me know if my previous question is the way to proceed. It sounds like you want me to prime the 3 color cartridges to eliminate air being an issue. Should i drain all 3 color cartridges of ink and then fill per your instructions? Thanks

mikling, Are you suggesting i empty the color cartridges and prime them per your instructions. Just for the record, what restored the black pattern was the use of the windex. I also saturated the color pad to try and restore the Magenta whos pattern was 1/2 missing. It was after the 2nd time...

Hi All, I have been using refillable cartridges and ink from Precision colors for my Epson Workforce 610 printer for about 2 years. Recently my black cartridge ran out completely and the Magenta ran low but not out. The black patterns on the nozzle check were not complete and the Magenta was...

OK i ran a nozzle check without running a cleaning cycle and one with. The Black, Magenta and Yellow cartridges are all running low as shown by the printer status window. Nozzle check before normal cleaning cycle shows faded vertical and horizontal bars for 3EBK, A, F, and H. The grid is...

Im looking at going the refillable route for both my Canon I560 and my new Epson Artisan 800. The Epson will be primarily used for printing CD/DVD's Both printers dont see much use, so im not considering CISS at this point. The Epson may sit for months without use if i only use it for CD/DVD's...
