I get LA Totally Awesome Cleaner at the Dollar Store. It's also great for cleaning print heads. Just spray some in about a half inch of hot water and soak print head in the mixture. Spray some LA on top of the print head on the screens and let sit for an hour or so. Dab on some folded paper...

I bought a batch of Canon virgin CLI and PGI-5Bk cartridges. I've had no problems flushing out the CLI dye cartridges with clear water from my kitchen faucet, but am at a loss as to how to flush out the PGI-5Bk pigment cartridges. Water obviously doesn't work. I would appreciate any suggestions...

I've hit upon a pretty good bath solution for canon print heads - LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner purchased at my local Dollar Store. Cheap and effective! I sprayed a couple of shots in about 1/2 inch of water which I used to soak the print head in. I also sprayed some...

I got my squeeze bottles from the link below and am very hasppy with them. You can get the Canon package with the long needles which can be used with the German refill method. http://www.octoink.co.uk/categories/Refill-Tools%7B47%7DKits/ Binkie

Got my SquEasyFill 100ml kit -x6 [Canon] and 6 extra needles from OctoInjet yesterday. Filled the bottles this morning and refilled two cartridges with the German method. What a joy! It was much quicker, less messy, and easier than with syringes. The needles are the perfect length (2 inches) for...

Is there a United States distributor that sells KMP Black Pigment ink? Binkie

Thanks to all about the Octoink SquEasyFill kits. I ordered the one for the Canon German filling method. Binkie

I would appreciate your posting the Howard Electronics email address and items numbers where you purchase squeeze bottles/scabbards. I can't seem to find the items on their web site. Thanks, Binkie
