@ghwellsjr - In your last post, you didn't mention the two KMP inks or the IS ink you were testing, and I couldn't find anything on them since your 6-week update. Are they still being tested, and if so, how are they fairing? Thanks for all of your work on this.
@pharmacist - Thank you for...
Considering the problems I had with my MP620, I thought I would ask if there were any precautions I should take to prevent the same problems with the new MX870. I know that there is some debate on whether or not the clogging was caused by my choice of refill ink (Hobbi Colors, pigment black was...
I purchased a new print head while trying to diagnose the problem with my MP620. I installed the new print head but the problem persisted and I ended up determining (through the help of those on this forum) that the problem was the purge system. I have been looking for a used MP780 in good...
Thanks, I just inquired on a couple MP780's on Craigslist for $70 and $50 each. I might be checking them out tomorrow. I also inquired on an MP750 for $40. From what I can tell, the only difference between the two models is the MP780 has fax capability.
I read your instructions on the extended...
I am thinking of purchasing a used MP780 and would like to know if it is possible to do a nozzle check if the printer is not hooked up to a computer? Can it just be powered up and done through the onboard menu? What's the norm for other models? Thanks.
Here is a link to the service manual and parts catalog for Canon PIXMA MP620 and MP620B. I am hosting the file with limited space so I cannot promise how long it will be there. Anyone is welcome to download it and host it somewhere more permanent...
I don't think the ability to print CD/DVD is an issue for me. I've never done it and don't see a need for it in the future. I'm more concerned with overall reliability and cost of use.
Thanks for the suggestion rarebear, but I am looking for something that I can buy at Staples since my warranty replacement is being fulfilled with a gift card from there.
Hi everyone, the thread title says it all really. I've had a Canon MP620 for about a year and it had been doing fine. I was happy with it, especially since I had discovered pharmacist's post on the German Refilling Method. Last month I started having a problem with the pigment black, and through...
First, let me apologize for not having replied earlier. I forgot to subscribe to the thread and it wasn't on my mind since I had edited my OP with a "Disregard".
As far as the question of battery vs. USB concerning the re-setter sold on eBay, I had the same question and it was one of the...
Thanks again ghwellsjr, I'll check those sites out later to figure out which one I want to get. I am in the USA (California), so I imagine the shipping costs will put the KMP out of the running. From a quick look, the prices looked comparable on the IS and the OCP, I'll take a closer look later.
When I first started refilling I chose Hobbi Colors for it's quality vs. cost ratio, based on recommendations from this forum. I realize the clogging testing being done by ghwellsjr hadn't been done (or even discussed) at that point, and I certainly I am not faulting anyone for the...
