    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    Just going thru old posts and came to this one. Here is an even simpler method. As before, weigh the cartridge when full and again when empty (in grams) and calculate the difference . 1cc of water weighs .997 grams so just fill your syringe with 1cc of ink for every gram of the difference. Piece...

    Experience with HP 934 & 935 pigment refilling and ink recomendations

    Would like to procure an HP6230 printer. The cartridges all take pigment ink. Is anyone refilling these cartridges? If so I would appreciate a recommendation for your ink supplier.

    Looking for a decent ink at a reasonable price for HP8610 (HP950, 951 Carts)

    I plan on purchasing a set of refillable cartridges on Ebay however I don't know if I can count on getting the right ink as a lot of the ink suppliers seem to sell universal inks, same ink different price depending on printer manufacturer. Super high quality results is not a priority. My...

    IP4700 Pigment black can't seem to print "Standard" quality

    What might cause my Canon IP4700 to print OK when the quality is set to "High" yet when I set to "Standard" it prints as though the nozzles are clogged? The skipping seems to occur in the same place on every page and gradually gets worse. I guess it can't get the ink fast enough. Nozzle check...

    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    Here's a simple solution to refilling the carts once the chip problem is solved. get yourself a decent scale that will let you weigh in grams. (I have a PROSCALE LC-300 that I use to weigh scrap silver) before you put your new cartridge in the printer weigh it. Then when it runs out of ink weigh...

    OK here goes... Here is the result of my experiment with drilling a hole above the sponge of a pigment black refillable cartridge that is compatible with Canons IP4700 which uses a PGI-220BK cartridge. A little background I refill my cartridges through a hole drilled in the top of the ink...

    PGI-220BK Cartridge flushing

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with flushing this cartridge by drilling a hole in the top of the cartride above the sponge opposite the outlet port and then flush the cartridge from the top. It would seem to me that using the refill hole above the ink tank would just force the...

    The rocket science needed to clean sponge of refillable CLI-220

    Awhile back I purchased a set of "Refillable" cartridges for my IP4700. Lately the PGBK cartridge will print until the ink tank is almost empty and then it runs out of ink. When refilling, little if any ink is absorbed by the sponge. I assume the sponge needs to be purged so that it will absorb...
