Yeah I am aware of the OctopusInks method but I threw away my starter carts three years ago and so I use the refillable V2 with the little diaphragm inside. They work really great as long as the user isn't dumb me :D I have no leakage problem with them, they are highly reliable and as I said -...

Thanks. 😅 I actually use the refillable V2s and as far as my experience is concerned - you can print standard quality without streaking from them. I only f'd up the printer a year ago when I was printing with both plugs in (I didn't realize one should be taken out for air intake until I took a...

Hello everyone, after three years with my beloved MB5150 I have messed up and caused quite a lot of burned nozzles (no error so far but I have to print on high quality to compensate for the streaks that happen during standard quality prints) and am looking for an afforadable replacement. Could...

You can try asking the shop I linked here. They have more reasonable prices, the shipping is still going to cost a liver though. I tried to refill the cartridges with recommended volumes by the seller of the refillables (110ml BK and 3x50ml CMY) and the starving issue resolved itself, even in...

They do. Also you will get a Setup set with the printer itself so no need to buy another set, unless you want to have one refilled set on the hand for quicker operation I am not saying what I like but what I experienced. The fact is that I experienced smearing with OEM, three different...

I know that ColorCopy is made for laser media, however printing dye from old MG3050 does produce prints that do not smear. Text does smear also as the black ink is pigment. The GP-501 is inkjet optimized (at least that what is says on my package) and does smear no matter what ink I used...

As I have written - I bought ARCs and refillable cartridges separately. The model I bought was without chips. The little plastic poles that the chip is pressed on were too thin, thus making the chip wiggle. For clarification : At first I thought about using my alternative cartridges for...

(Before reading : I am not trying to be cocky, ungrateful or know-it-all and I am extremely thankful for the time and effort you've put into your post but I do not know how to convey what I want to say what I want to say. So please, if the "tone" of my writing seems passively agressive or...

Cannot help on using the Canon ink that is originally intended for Megatank Maxifys. I only have experience with extremely cheap alternative cartridges and this Inktec/V2 combo which I set up only a week ago. The consensus is that it is the best to refill OEM set-up cartridges and exchange the...

Thanks a lot :) So I printed out two nozzle checks and 10 sheets of double-sided CMYK test. The first nozzle check was before those ten sheets, the second was immedietely after. Looks like the standard print quality isn't good enough as on black segments it shows some banding. I do not care...

Interesting to see you guys have these problems. My MB5150 is 2 years old, it was used exclusively with cheap alternative cartridges ($3 a piece) which I confirmed myself they were pigment, had multiple clogs, dried nozzles, contamination problems, starving even when printing in high quality...

Does anybody here use "refillables v2" (those with that simple diaphragm) with success? I unfortunately threw away my OG setup cartridges year and a half ago, thinking that I would need to buy the XL ones. Well. And now I only have compatible cartridges. They have some sort of "bag" inside but...

Yeah I know. I know it from my personal experience the hard way. I know Canon uses thermal ink nozzles (unlike Epson f. ex. which uses piezoelectric system) and that's why I am so worried about. Epson would be no big deal. Take the print head out, flush liters of ink flush (basically higher...

It is not printer-only or English retailer so the whole site is in Czech language. https://www.yescom.cz/p/canon-pgi-2500xly-kompatibilni-napln-zluta-22ml The retailer actually replied to me few minutes back and I think I will not buy from them only because of how they act with customers. She...

Hello dear people of printerknowledge, I'd love to ask. I know I may be spamming this forum with (now second I think?) question about Canon's MAXIFY printers but please, bear with me. Has anybody tried compatible cartrides for the Canon MAXIFYs IB4xx0 and MB5xx0? I have personal reasons to...
