    First use / Setup of PRO100 WITHOUT OEM cartridges ¿Possible¿

    I switched to Precision colors ink 2+ years ago. Used the OEM cart except for the yellow. Works fine, no clogged heads, no print head failures. Takes about 30-60 seconds to refill a cart and reset the chip. It has been accurate when telling me to re-fill. The only issue I have run into was...

    Bit the Bullet. Installed inkjetcarts ink and tanks in Canon ipf 6300

    I did toss the old green ink and rinsed and air dried the ijc tank when i put in the new tank nozzle and spring. I used new ink, did 2-3 head cleanings. It worked fine for a while but it did eventually come back. That was a year+ ago. The green needs a head cleaning frequently. The rest...

    It been 3-4 years since i switched to Inkjetcarts. None of my prints have faded. I print about 400' of 24" paper a year. The inks still work, but i do have a repetitive on going clog with the green ink. It always clears up with a cycle a cycle A cleaning. Usually need to do this once per...

    Bit the Bullet. Installed inkjetcarts ink and tanks in Canon ipf 6300

    All is working fine. Re profiled with color munki. Prints looking as good as oem ink. No plugging issues. One thing I have noticed is the pigment inks of the ipf printer don't do as well with metallic papers as compared to my dye ink pro 9000 mk2. The transparent nature of the dye ink...

    Pro 9000 mk2 printhead failure?

    Yup, that was my guess. Glad to have it confirms so quickly by both Joe and The Hat. Looks like new print heads are ~ $150 on eBay, refurbs about $90. Any body have any experience with refurbished print heads? Better to stay with new part? Thanks

    Pro 9000 mk2 printhead failure?

    I have a 2-3 year old printer which appears to be failing the nozzle check. All of the colors are fine except cyan. The test patters is darker cyan over the top half and lighter cyan on the bottom half. There are no streaks, just the light /dark split pattern Have tried cleaning the print...

    Bit the Bullet. Installed inkjetcarts ink and tanks in Canon ipf 6300

    So far everything is going well. Ink tanks are down 15-20 percent. Should be getting close to new ink in the print head soon. One item Ross did mention was to print once per week if possible, and to manually agitate the ink tanks on a similar schedule the day before printing. Takes a few...

    Bit the Bullet. Installed inkjetcarts ink and tanks in Canon ipf 6300

    My OEM ink tanks started running low. Been dreading that as the new ink replacement would be 1/3 the price I paid for the printer. After trying to find info on the web, there was not much I could locate specifically on the ipf 6300. A bit more on the ipf 8300 which I think is an identical...
