Thanks for the info. I'm still considering MG5470 as an option. Currently looking several models from Epson as alternative too.

Please let us know how it goes. Can we just disable Ink Monitor & continue printing even when the cart is empty ? I know this is possible with previous model. I'm worried that one day they won't let Ink Monitor be disabled, therefore we are doomed to buy new carts if there is still no resetter...

Oopss I was wrong. You're right. I notice my mistake 10 min even before you warned me. I got mixed up. Both printers apparently use the non-resetabble CLI-751 carts. I must have seen CLI-726 in another. Too many models & carts on Canon website, and I must have got confused. And the Bad...

Thanks for the answer. Exactly the info I'm looking for. It's unfortunate there is no resetter for CLI-751 carts. I already have Canon 4200F scanner. I just thought it would simpler for me to have the scanner right on top of the unit. Well, in that case, I would definitely go with...

I need a new CD printing capable printer. I have 2 options: - Pixma IP-7220 (or 7270 in Asia) using CLI-726 cartridge - Pixma multi-function MG-5420 (or 5470 in Asia) using CLI-751 cartridge Which cartridge is better for refilling ? Which one has more ink capacity ? Very little info on the...

I've suggested AIO with individual cartridge, but the cheapest MG-5370 is around $220, while MG-237 or MG-2270 cost only $70. I think she finds it too expensive since she's just a working single mother. Her husband left her 6 months ago. My poor friend. If only she just needs a printer, I...

Hi again, I'm helping a friend who is considering a cheap AIO printer, either: - MP-237 which uses PG-810 & CL811 (I think in US it's PG-210 & CL211) - MG-2270 which uses PG-740, CL-741 (I think in US it's PG-240 & CL-241) (I'm in Asia btw) Both are the same price. The printer would likely...

For now, I think the current profile is good enough for me. There is no way my profile has the correct balance because I'm just using my eyes to judge, but I think it's acceptable for my daily need. You're right when you say some photos still don't look right. There is 1 particular photo...

Ok. I was busy trying to profile my printer using Inktec. I'm not an expert in this area, so I just tried adding reducing CMY to find the best combinations. The process was extremely frustrating for me. I thought I've found the right combi when some printed photos looked good, but then I found...

I'm trying to compare original Canon OEM ink vs Inktec compatible ink for IP3500 (bulk C908). And I have very bad result with Inktec. Here is Canon OEM ink: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/339/canonoem.jpg/ And here is Inktec compatible ink...

My Canon IP4500 is dead. It was in standby mode after printing 3 pages. The next thing I know, the power led was gone. I can't turn the power back on, even after trying with different cables & electrical outlets. It was 3.5 years old. I sent it for repair to Canon Center, and they said the...

Fyi guys, in Indonesia Epson has just launched Epson L100 & L200. These printers are specially made for Indonesian market who mostly use refilled inks. The printers are FANTASTIC. Want to know why ? These printers use Epson-designed continuous ink- flow system with huge bottle (70ml/bottle)...

I actually have purged the cart 3 weeks ago, but it doesn't help. Before the purge, I have only refilled 5 times, so it's relatively young. I'm now using OEM cart for Cyan just to see if I still have problem. I'm very traumatic using the same cartridge. I'm afraid I will get the printhead...

My problem continues. I have changed the printhead. Everything was fine in the beginning, and suddenly Cyan clogs again. I never have clog problem with other colors, but the Cyan is a bitch. It clogs almost every week when I tried to print on photo paper. The funny thing is, the printer...

I finally figured out why. The cyan filter on the printhead seems to have a little dent. I don't know how this could happen. My guess is I must have bumped it when I put in the cartridge. I borrowed my friend's IP4500 printhead and it prints without a problem. Holy damn, it is just less than...
