You do not need to do anything to your black. The reason your black doesn't look completely black from the bottle (by looking at the bottle) because it's compatible dye ink. The aftermarket black dye ink that gives true black is a little greyish (That is it look like black color that is too...

Hi OutOFtheinkwell, I wonder if it's not too much of a trouble, if you could post a picture of the RATF chips that were giving you problem. It's not necessary if don't wish to.

He doesn't have to worry about refillable capacity on cartridges if he is using CISS with high-capacity chip. These high capacity chip (CISS Combo Chip aka the Super ARC Chip from Russia) are already available unfortunately at this moment it's for some model only.

Hi Ocular, there is this super arc chip from Russia, do check them out. But I am not too sure if there is one for your model. It's high capacity, can't remember the exact ml but i think's 20ml. And I read last year that someone tested his super chip (in his case his model has a battery). His...

Frankd1, do not clean the timing strip with windex, do not even think of cleaning it will any cleaning solution. The stripe will come off with these sort of solution . You might even need to use magnifying glass to realize strip had been remove if you cleaning with strong solution. To diagnose...

Frankd1, Your nozzles PGI-BK might be clogged. You need to print nozzles check list and better still print the extended nozzles check from service mode to confirm if any of your nozzles is clog or not dispensing ink droplet correctly (which looks like a nozzle that's not inline with other...

Hi It's actually also available in China. There is also some model which they change the chip on the circuit board and resolder another chip back. If I recall correctly there were other parts of the countries that did the same thing, i think russia or ....just can't remember.

Hi vallejoboy, a clog for nozzles that deliver dye ink (here in your case is cyan ink) and a clog for nozzles that deliver pigment ink is slightly different? Typically a clog for dye ink nozzles are streaks. The streaks can appear as a thin line or a thicker streaks for more nozzles that are...

You can get it from inksupply. I remember seeing this item at their website.

generally when you have a message whereby it indicate unable to recognize cartridge, it is usually to do with the chip sensor contact issue. 2 scenario A) Are you using compatible cartridge among your original canon cartridges? Sometime compatible cartridges there dimension is not 100%...

I am referring to the CLI-8 PGI-5BK which were transparent cartridges. Not the newer smaller carts which were non transparent type. But you can use the same idea of using weighing scale. Remember if you weigh the new cartridge with the exit port cap on to find out what is the weight, when you...

Hi Ron350, I had the CD. I can copy and upload but it may take a couple of days. I am not in US but when you click on the CD to start the installation, a dialogue prompt will to ask for your the location, you can select US. Let me know if you want it.

I hadn't gone through all the post about the non transparent cart. But I too uses the weighing scale after I had refill my CLI-8 PGI-5BK even though they are transparent. That is I compared them to the weight of a new cartridge. So that I get correct amount of ink inside the cart. This help to...

Thanks for pointing out that post that I was embedding my reply into a quote. Now as I referred back to at that post, I am surprised that I ended quoting myself in that post. Probably during editing that original post, I accidentally quoted everything.

My reply was intended to be that way. [ Thanks for the pointing out that he was actually referring to a tiny 0.7mm diameter hole in the centre" that was on top of the plug ] It was exactly why I placed the 'that was on top of the plug' out of your quote so that it wasn't assumed to be part...

Hi erpp, It's not just the PGI-5BK nozzles have problem. But your Cyan nozzles has some electrical fault as well. If you notice your cyan 2nd and 3rd rows, the colors are much lighter than it should be. Generally these 2 rows (2nd and 3rd of cyan) are lighter color than the 1st row but it should...

FryingSaucer, I missed out the parts where you said your Power LED were blinking as well. As such I was looking at the same error you mentioned about the duplex error from the service manual. If you scrolled down the ip4600 manual, you will see the the service error code for the blinking of...
