    New printhead or entirely new printer?

    I have a 4 year old Pixma MP610 with a damaged printhead. And I'm not sure whether I should replace the printhead, or buy a completely new printer. What it all depends on is: how much more difficult is an MG5350 to refill? Easy and cheap refilling is important to me. I know the 610 has great...

    Urine as printhead cleaner

    Sorry for the awkward topic title, but a rather bizarre idea struck my mind when I was reading this thread. I'm still looking for the perfect printhead cleaner and I'm open to new ideas. So if urine cleans ink well, it should also dissolve ink in the printhead right? Furthermore urine is...

    Quality ink in Netherlands?

    So I've been away for some time... being satisfied with my bottles of IS ink and printing lots :D. I need a new bottle of pigment black now. Problem is: the quality ink is either in Germany or the UK. I only need one 100mL bottle of pigment black and most shops are charging 10-15 for postage. I...

    Inconsistent black, duplexing causing grey-ish blacks?

    I got a problem with my MP610 for quite a while. Sometimes black text is really black and crisp (like it should). But mostly it's just grey, so not really black. Recently I found out the good kind of black is only printed when I select the standard settings in the print dialog screen. But as...

    Photofrost "power flush" printhead cleaner

    This is some kind of adaptor that will connect your printhead to the hot tap. The printhead is flushed with a steady flow of water. You'll know when the printhead is clean, because Photofrost claims a perfect printhead will produce a nice and tidy fan of needle shaped rays of water. -Step 1 is...

    Inktec refilling combicarts HP21 and 22 (Deskjet F4100)

    I want to refill combicarts from a Deskjet F4100 printer, those are the popular HP21 and 22. I want to use Inktec's refilling kit. I've seen the brand show up a couple of times in tests on druckerchannel.de and it appears to be quality stuff. Not the absolute best but they offer very easy to use...

    Commercial unclogging solution

    I've tried a lot of the homemade solutions for unclogging printheads but haven't been successfull. There's also commercially available cleaners. My question, is any of these better than the popular DIY unclogging mixtures? Like Windex, ammonia, alcohol, distilled water etc. -Powerklin...

    Sudhaus refill inks

    I'm wondering if these refill inks might be worth a look. Sudhaus cartridges are well reviewed on druckerchannel.de, so I'm guessing the refill ink should be cool also. Most people in here seem to appreciate ink by Image Specialists or Octoink etc. But Sudhaus is a major German commercial...

    Printhead shopping

    My MP610's printhead is partially clogged for years now and cleaning had little effect. So after a lot of messing with cleaning I've given up and am thinking about buying a new printhead. The item number is QY6-0075 aka QY6-0067. But where to buy? What I've found so far myself: -Canon itself...

    Peach ink

    Hello nifty-stuff community, you guessed it... I'm new to this forum :D. So my question: does anybody know something about compatible ink by Peach? It's a Swiss brand that is supposed to be better than most of the competition selling compatible cartridges. My printer is a MP610 by Canon. I've...
