Dear The Hat Many thanks for your input. Accurate and complete as usual. Cheers:)

Hi everybody I've recently bought an MG5340 printer with 425/426 cartrige set. To be honest, I'm unhappy with the ink consumption of this printer; after just a few pages of printing, the red and blue cartridges are already giving a yellow exclamation mark (!) low-ink warning. Is this the time...

Hi the HAT! Thank you so much for your professional input; very useful, as usual. I always appreciate the unconditional support I get in this forum and especially from you. I think I will go ahead with the MG5340 as it better suits the needs of a small office. I guess I have to live with the...

Hi Hat ! I assure you it was unintetional. It is already deleted. 1- Thanks for your comment and the reassurance about this printer. Something is still strange to me. Price of the very similar but older model MG5240 is MORE than this newer MG5340. Do you have any idea why? Could there be any...

Hi Everybody, I'm about to purchase a Canon Pixma MG5340 multi-function printer. I very much appreciate to have your positive or negative views about this printer. Thanks, SAFAI

Dear Peter and the Hat, Many thanks for the detailed explanation. Much obliged to you guys for that :) Cheers, SAFAI

Dear The Hat and PeterBJ, Thank you so much for the detailed instruction and guidance. It has been really helpful. I'd like to confirm one last point with you guys, if you don't mind. Can printers such as MG5370 which are shipped with x26 cartridges from the factory, accept x21 cartridges as...

Hi The Hat! Thank you so much for your valuable input. May I ask you a few more questions? - What is the correct refill method for this kind of cartridge: CLI-726? Maybe, explained somewhere in the forums? - Is this cartridge (including the chip) the same as CLI-426? - Can the chip be reset...

Hi Everybody! Can MG5370 OEM cartridges (CLI-726) be refilled? Can Ink Level Monitoring still remain intact? Thanks, SAFAI

ThrillaMozilla, Thanks. You've been most helpfull. By refill tank, I meant non-OEM (transparent) cartridges that can be installed just like the OEM cartridge and be refilled easily; no tubing used here. I'm not sure if such refill tanks exist for HP. Based on your knowledge and experience...

Hi ThrillaMozilla, Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I must say this is quite clever; using weight for ink measurement. Any recommendation for the other issues? 2- Using refill tanks with these printers, 3- Print head longivity in non-OEM refill environment? To be honest, I don't...

Hi Everbody! I need help to decide between these two printers for my small office: HP Officejet 6500A HP Photosmart 5515 (no fax - but it's no problem) I have 3 specific questions which I hope someone can help me with: 1- Which one's ink cartridge can be refilled with success? 2- Which one's...

Hi Everybody! I have the following situation with my brother MFC-295CN print head: Printer test page shows uneven color intensity for the blue print head ONLY; all other colors are just fine. I'm afraid I could not upload the picture, but you can find it here...

Hi everyone! Hope there's someone to help me out there. I use refill tanks with my Brother MFC-295CN inkjet printer since a year ago. Recently, the CYAN head/nozzle has develped some problem which is evident from the test print generated by the printer (test blocks/squares are a bit...
