Hi, dpollock. Have used the resetter from refillbay a bunch of times now and it works just fine. The canon software still shows fairly accurate ink levels. -Nick

Thank you for more options dealing with that pesky filling hole. I'm glad to see websnail dedicate a thread to it. I see the "awl"/"icepick" is popular and I like the down and dirty video that ghwellsjr has posted of using one. Of course I did kind of go your way, Jackson, by heating and...

I am very thankful to the dedicated contributors here at the forum. Recently I found a pixma iP4700 on sale and came here to find the best way to do refills. This last weekend was my first opportunity to use the German Durchstich method (step-by-step pictures by pharmacist here) and I found a...

ghwellsjr: Thanks! Your photo step-by-step makes draining cartridges actually look easy. I just got into the "German" method with my canon printer and this looks like a great way to renew cartridges when necessary. Appreciate your contributions! -Nick

Pharmacist did a review of a 520/521 resetter in this thread , and I believe this is a link to what he was reviewing . It is about 15 euros +shipping. -Nick

This should help you. There are links to needles and tip caps on that page too. I also am about to order. I believe if you call, they will give you 2 inch needles with the bottles. Hope this helps. -Nick

good find, drames. I admit pricegrabber seems a bit behind on getting alerts out, but with the ip4700 in the fifty dollar range, it has been working out that good deals still come available on a regular basis. -Nick

I feel badly that I didn't see your post sooner. Are you still looking to buy the ip4700? If so, I suggest using pricegrabber.com as a way to find the best price. Just yesterday I found it at Newegg.com for $49.95 +$3 ship so I bought another one (for my parents). The price grabber had sent...

geezoir: over on this thread there is much discussion of the resetter for 220/221. The resetter I got works fine (Youtube Showing it in action ) and the thread I link to above shows there is an additional 15% off through tomorrow putting it in the $20 range. Let us know your experience! -Nick

For those of us in the States it still gets better. I purchased my resetter for CLI-221/PGI-220 cartridges from refillbay.com for a bit over $26 a couple weeks ago. It works fine! I posted they have gone down to $19.95 since then and today I received an email that until June 1st they are...

I like paint.net too. For example, I used it to make a regular photo into the avatar you see here. I simply resized the photo (previously edited in picnik.com...super also) to 100 pixels (which is the max size allowed for avatars on this site) and tah-dah! instant avatar!

nche11: Thanks for the link. I'll be soon ordering from them too. I like how they post an example from a printing job this month using iP4700 saying, "The printing project from calling Hobbicolors to discuss the feasibility of a rush print job of 2400 pages, buying the two printers, the two...

marceltho: I'm sure I represent untold other "newbies" when I say how interesting and helpful your posts are. I especially like how you lay everything out picture-by-picture. I know it is your choice on giving or not. Just want you to know when I see your posts I immediately subscribe for...

Hi, Tom: I think that question is for me (vallejoboy is still trying to get his resetter problem resolved). No, I have not had a chance to see how accurate the estimations are, but SubMan says they are not so precise. I am going to be happy just to see approximations so that I can keep my...

vallejoboy: here is my simple video of the resetter I got today. No blinking lights, just a steady light held for 3-5 seconds. Keep us posted on your progress. -Nick
