Thank you, I will certainly give it a try tomorrow. Still, since this problem started, I have gotten a new yellow cartridge from Staples. But I am willing to try anything right about now. =P

This is very frustrating. I have a mg6220 that has been printing great until recently. I have used the german method of refilling since I had a ip3000. Recently I have noticed when refilling my yellow and magneta carts I get alot of bubbles building up in the res tanks, and I have to syphon...

I just received the dreaded B200 error on my mp560 printer and I am not even sure if I can buy a replacement for it. It looks like the canon printers that use 225 tanks are dying fast also, quickly being replaced w/ machines that use 250 tanks. Soliciting your opinion, do you think the...

Any ideas? Highly frustrating. I sell fill, german method, and only have this trouble with the blue cartridge. Probably just need to break down and buy a new blue and retire my old one. But I am cheap and thought I would see if any suggestions here =P Happy Halloween!

So I left my spare set of 221 color cartridges sitting out, empty, totally forgot about them, and did not see them again til I got back from vacation. I refilled them, and they seemed fine, but when I needed to swap them back into the printer they are "spotty" at best. For most prints if I do...

I have a kicking little Pixma Mp560 that will greatly sadden me when it dies. Cheap and easy to refill! With that in mind, I have noticed, that when the printer pulls a page back in to print on the 2nd side of the paper, the printer makes a rather loud squeeking noise. Since the printer wont...

AH HA! Figured it out! Some how, the dip switch on my chip resetter was off, so it was resetting all cartridges to... neutral? Wee! Merry Christmas!

Ok, the weirdness continues. So I goto my local Staples and pick up a new Magnetta cartridge. Everything works golden! YAH! 5minutes after I start printing, I swap out a Cyan. The printer wont recognize the Cyan I put in... I have 3 of each color cartridge, all Canon originals that I just...

Yes, using all original canon cartridges, just my ink. Tried the pushing in on just the tail, no luck =/ Off to buy a new magneta and try it out, if that doesnt work, well Pixma MG5320 is $50 off at Staples this week =/

Howdy, I have had my Canon Mp560 for over a year now, and have enjoyed varried levels of success selfrefilling w/ the German method. Today, however, I recieved a u140 error and the printer is refusing to recognize any of my three (3) different magneta cartridges. Now I would go out and buy a...

I posted a few days back about having occasional trouble when using the German method on the big 220Black tanks of oversaturating the sponges. Good advice was given and I than you all. Now, the new fun... I decided to pay more attention when filling up my 220Black cartridge and I have made...

Howdy I have a Canon pixma mp560 which i really enjoy, and for the last year I have had a successful time refilling my own cartridges using the German method. Today, however, I hit a snag. While refiling my black 220 cartridge, when i reached about the 1/3 full point on the tank I noticed ink...

Trying to upload a jpeg scan of test pattern for canon mp560 thats having small troulbe with black. Everytime I try to "submit" my image i get the message: ERROR: Unable to upload image. Thats it, no reason why. Is the file to big? Do I need to move it to another folder? Any help would be...

I purchased a canon mp560 after reading the forums here and I must say that I have found the german method easy and quick for refilling ink tanks. Yall know your stuff! However, I have had one slight problem, after replacing my last pgbk 220 cartridge I started to notice some slight smearing...
