With coupon code 511rfb20, you can get the mp990 refurb price down to $71.99 before taxes... believe it lasts till the 24th

I'll be honest here, I am not aware of how to purge the unit...

I see~ I'll purchase one off amazon to try out soon (or is there a better choice... local stores are are like 15 bucks)

I see... is there any reason why the darker shades of cyan work though? Hobbicolors UW-8/Pigment Black California, United States Did it work if you did a deep clean? It almost seems as if if I left the printer inactive for a couple of hours, it would revert back to the problem.

Hrm... well like I've said, it appears that the darkest shade of cyan worked, but not so much the lighter shades, leading me to believe it might be the printhead rather than the cartridge. Unfortunately, I don't have any more cyan cartridges, and I refill using the OEM cartridges.

Hrm. Well, I would be hesitant to do so because, as I mentioned before, it dark cyan works perfectly, but not the light cyan (...)

I'll have to ask you to expand on this... please?

So I'm in an odd situation here. My Mx860 printer in which I refill by using Hobbicolors ink tends to get clogged in the medium and lightest cyan colors(I have attached the before and after for reference). In order to fix this, I must run a cleaning cycle (or deep clean), and it works like it...

Try holding the "stop" button for 5 seconds; It should essentially disable ink monitoring and continue printing despite its sensors indicating no ink.

Thanks for the replies. Now, the thing is this is for personal use, I simply don't need 16oz per color. I'm looking more at 4oz per color minus the pigment, which can be more. Hobbicolors (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260661704928&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT) already has a...

After doing some research on the forum and on sites like ebay, I still am not sure what I should get. I have looked around, and octoink (precision colors) and hobbicolors seem to be the better kinds out there. As of now, the hobbicolors UW8 seems like best choice as I live in the US. So my...
