    CD PRinting - What software to use?

    I've been using the bundled CD printing software that came with my MP760 but you cant change whether its a full face cd or a big hole in the middle.... I was wondering whether anyone else was using a different program to the standard "CD Label Print" Regs, D

    Whats up with my prints? Too much black?

    Ya' know, about those OEM carts.....

    You shouldnt find you get more prints with an OEM than a generic brand or a refill. Especially with a Canon - if there is the same amount of ink (13ml?) then they should last the same time. As long as you dont have to do lots of head cleans to keep it all working. Your Canon printer is one of...

    Problem printing on heavy paper with Canon Pixma

    Because the head is lifted slightly it sprays the ink from further away than it should. Now its quite interesting that the paper now feeds, i only used this setting because the head was actually rubbing on the paper as it passed. It doesnt do anything to the paper feed mechanism - give it...

    generic ink ok?

    If you read your warranty it will say they will not be liable for any damage CAUSED by use of non-genuine inks. Quite rightly too, if you filled your car with something other than petrol you wouldnt expect them to replace your engine under warranty. Your warrany should stand with the people...

    canon i960 print problem

    If you're 100% sure the footprint test is correct then I'd say you have an electrical fault in the head. Just to make sure thoug, do lots of footprint tests(pressing the head down on paper towel to see if the ink stops after a while. Regs, D

    Compatibles available on eBay now for the new Canon CLI-8 cartridges.

    I notice they do not have chips on them and you have to swap the chips from your empty one - so your no further forward than refilling your own cartridges, except for paying well over the odds. *************************************************************************** The compatible...

    Cheapest photo priter(ie ink)

    Re: Fading - The new canon inks are "rated" for 100 yrs obviously in optimum conditions. However if your prints are stored correctly then fading shouldnt be too much of an issue. If they are to be on display then they MUST be prutected, either in a plastic sleeve or some sort, or behind glass...

    don't buy the latest canon printer

    One would have thought it would be prudent to check the price/availability of the cartridges before purchasing the printer. From my experience in the re-filling industry the Epsons are very problematic, the cheap compatible cartridges will destroy the print head, Canon on the other hand are...
