Quoting mikling: "So far Canon has not gone after this level of dirty play and thus in the 17" arena, the Pro-1000 is still an active player for refillers. For refillers, the tide should shift towards Canon who has been a lot looser with refilling ...a LOT of room was left." I'm not here often...

No idea if this will be of any help or not, I had a similar problem 15 years ago, with a specialty paper. Here's my story & some interesting (to me) current results I'm using one of the newer (to me)Canons with the 250/251 inset. I have some highly glossy paper, no idea what brand, it is very...

It wouldn't take a lot of effort to make a little jig that you could rewind the 3 inch core paper onto your 2 inch core. I built something similar but different with a counter in the path for reloading printer ribbon, I powered it with my old Makita 7 volt drill.

It's been ages since I was last here, to my surprise, my email had a message from this forum. Never seen that before. The question of when the printer calls the cartridge empty. The firmware counts every droplet of ink it squeezes out, whether through putting ink on the page, or into the...

Good enough - consider it tossed.

Obviously nobody has a need for this, I'll teach it to fly. Thanks John

I have a "professionally built" cartridge centrifuge. Works well for production work, but in a pinch I'll use the hand drill & my "illustrated" piece of flat bar.

I originally used it to wash out - printhead cartridges, spin the ink/water/cleaning solution out the vent holes, then flip the cartridge back around to reseat the sponges. Worked on everything from the Canon BC-02 through the big HP's like the 78. I needed to be able to purge crap ink from a...

I used to have a refill business (not starting with the letter "I") I still have my cartridge spinner. Find yourself a small piece of 1/2 inch wide (very thin) flat-bar. drill a hole dead center and attach a very long bolt. When you're sure you're close to balanced when it spins, bend 1/4 to...
