    Need canon printer that supports airprint AND uses 221 carts?

    I need a airprint capable printer... I'm bummed because I have a perfectly good Mp990 (3 in fact!) and a Pro9000 printer... However, Im giving up on the workaround for printing from ios devices and just NEED to get a airprint printer... I have ink and empty carts to do CLI8 or the 221.220...

    Canon: Which printers share the same print head?

    With another batch of cheap refurbs available from Canon, it seems like a decent time to buy a couple printers from them. The prices they sell these for -in some cases- barely cover the oem ink cart cost. When you consider the value of the print heads- they are generally a slamdunk it terms of...

    DOES the MP990 have clearance issues for top fillers?

    I did a search, but found nothing that was based on actual experience- only conjecture. Are there any MP990 OWNERS out there that have experience with refilling this machine? Im getting ready to refill my first set for this printer and would rather hear from an experienced owner. I've...

    MG8120 or MP990?

    They are practically the same price from canon.... I had just ordered *another* MP990, but now I see the mg8120 has dropped like a rock as well in price. I was leaning towards the MP990 to avoid the BS of the new opaque carts, but is there any significant trade-off I'm giving away if I stick...

    nice tool for drying carts after flushing....

    So I had followed several steps here to dry out a set of purged/flushed CI-8's. They had been sitting, drying, for about 3 days when it occurred to me to use the air blower/duster I have for gunsmithing work. Its filtered and has attachments to finely focus the air stream. Well, I figured...

    Request: photo of clear vs opaque 220/221 carts?

    I have a guy who has a bunch of 220/221 carts... I asked if they were opaque vs clear- and i could sense a lot of confusion on the question :-) Does anyone have, or can anyone take a quick snapshot of the two so I can send it? And if you do- Id be happy to share some if anyone else is shopping...

    Anyone else buy a (cheap) spare Pro9000 "just in case"

    I LOVE my Pro9000 Mk2 printer. And now that Im refilling my own carts, my wallet loves it even more. However, I kept looking at these rebate/resale Pro9000's going for <$200.... Also, I see the possible canon future of harder-to-refill carts (opaque 226's) and wonder what the Pro9000 successor...

    Oh no... first refill failed??? Help. (++photo added)

    So I refilled my first cart today on my pro9000, photomajenta. Everything seemed fine, reset chip (was using an OEM cart), printed test- looked perfect. A few hours later, decided to replace the old non-oem carts than were running low (C & PC). refilled, reinserted, run nozzle check and PC and...

    Yippee! I just refilled my first ink cart + a few questions

    After lurking forever and hemming/hawing about it- I just refilled my first CLI-8 cart for my Canon Pro9000. I knew I didnt want to pay the insane oen prices, and after a bad experience with some aftermarket refilled carts (LD brand), I was committed to trying it myself. This forum was crucial...

    Hobbicolors... how to get just ONE color?

    Got my first shipment from hobbi-colors. Great customer service and everything arrived as I excepted. Dumb question though: I bought a set of 8-colors (Pro900o II)- which was fine as I am just starting to refill. However, as i think about my actual usage- my consumption rate of, say magenta or...
