    Recomend - Epson MF CIS

    Greetings, I have asked questions like this before. Though, I try to keep it to only once a year or so. However, $ is always the cause for delay and delay and delay. Please don't get tired of me. :) Shoestring budget around here, and only now is my Frankenstein'd MP830 dying. Please, I need...

    Used Epson 2200 Price opinion

    Kind of funny. I checked before I posted. Found nothing which is why I came here. ;) Amazon shows $1200 for a new one. But that was probably the original price or close to it when it did sell. NewEgg and Computer Shopper show nothing. Ebay in the US had like two or three and they were...

    Used Epson 2200 Price opinion

    Greetings, My parents retired in Mexico a few years back. Very poor. Living on SS. My father passed away at 84. He was a photographer. He had purchased an Epson 2200 to print his photos in order to sell them. I am wondering how much a lightly used Ep Sty Photo 2200 that is perhaps a year old...

    Epson 835 AIO, please recommend what CIS system is best

    Did you get a CIS? Think I have decided to go with the Artisan 835. Just not sure if I want CIS or not. In another thread Websnail mentioned Damper systems without CIS which may be the way to go to start. Not sure. Peace and Blessings Mac

    MX870 & my refilling plan...

    I would only use OEM carts. We can run into enough cart/chip/printer hiccups as it is with out adding to it with after markets. Besides, to me it kind of goes like this. Buy new printer and backup set of OEM carts. Use the ones that come with the printer and start refilling as you go. Then, 7...

    CLI-225 Cli-226 specifically Canon MG8120 CIS

    Thanks guys. Was not sure that CISS is really the way to go for me. Not enough printing. However, what do you think about the Chip swap? Was thinking that this simple swap would not work? That the chip and or software would prevent us till some sort of re-setter is out. Doubt there will be a...

    CLI-225 Cli-226 specifically Canon MG8120 CIS

    Any one doing refills or CIS on the new Canon MG printers? Looking at the MG8120. Found this site for [http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store441/home.php?cat=2]Refills and CIS for the new printers[/url]. They have some videos on the newer printers, but don't see one for a new Grey Cli-226. The...

    Canon MP830 service manual

    Well, it appears I did it right as it is working. I don't have a lot of interference in general on my phones, etc. I put the weights back onto the black ribbons and thinking that is correct. However, this one has the same problem as mine. Not printing PGBK in test print. Only the CLi-'s...

    Canon MP830 service manual

    Hi, need some help. Bought a used MP830 off ebay. Showed up with planten glass all busted up! So, thought I would take my top and its bottom. However, after getting it apart, I kind of forgot which flat ribbon cables get the weights/signal things. Not the two white ones right? Or does one...

    Should I rescue my MP830?

    Have you soaked it in Windex or distilled water? I am guessing what doing so over night or two and then rinsing with more distilled water might just clean it up. Has worked for me. Also, if you do get it working, I print this page once a week when I am not printing any other color...

    Help me buy new IJ Color MFC Printer

    My MP830 has died. Not sure what is wrong with it. Have not had a chance to tear down the chassis to check the head primer. Bummer, as I spent some money on new ink and such trying to find out what the problem was. So, I am looking at an all-in-one printer. But am concerned about what...

    Canon MP830 - How to clean the ink well deep right inside???

    Greetings, 1- I have an MP830 and have really enjoyed it. I have refilled each cart maybe 2 times each. However, I appear to have a bit of ink in the cleaning area inside and to the right sponge area? How do I clean this? Or do I just let it dry? I am getting some random ink spots on...

    List of Printers that take CLI-8 Carts

    Thanks for the help people. Grandma's PC is sooooooo slow. Perhaps a better question then as I should have guessed that the CLI-8 has moved on. What is the best comparible type to the old CLI's? I.e. What are they using now for 4 blk, Y, Cyan, Mag, inks + Black pigment? I am looking for...

    List of Printers that take CLI-8 Carts

    Have an MP830. Want to buy another Canon. Had a list of Canon printers and ink cart reqs. But on vacation and on a gosh awful slow computer. Want to buy a 2nd printer, but want one like MP330 or MP560, but they do not take CLI-8 ink tanks that I know of. Thanks.

    MP830 best replacement ink cartriges

    I tried putting back-in one of the LD-PGIbk, but printer refused to acknowledge ANY ink carts then. Put OEM PGIbk back in and now fine. Same for either LD PGIbk's. Should I just avoid the none OEM carts for the PGI's? Thanks
