    Black text bleeding

    Hi qwertydude saying that, I tried my mp560 also using IS inks and they look really good just like OEM inks. I know this could be because of the black pigment ink. So can I assume that bleeding is a "characteristic" of black IS dye inks? Or do I have a bad batch of inks?

    Black text bleeding

    I don't know if it is the correct word for it but today I noticed when I print texts, black text look like there is an alignment problem. I did a few alignments which did not improve anything. I thought my P50 is faulty and I nearly packed it for replacement until I remembered I still had the...

    A day of futility...End of life failure???

    Why don't you buy a new printer and try the old printhead on it. If it works perfectly then you know the old printer is faulty, and you will have a brand new spare printhead. If the old printhead doesn't work on the new printer, then you'll know it's the culprit and you have a spare printer body.

    Canon MP630 or 560?

    Yes, I used Canon's ink on my test prints. I have just strated using octoinks but I can't comment now as this is just my first refill, and I didn't do a proper flush.

    Canon MP630 or 560?

    Neither. Though I have MP560, and IP4700 for CD printing. MP560 works quite well but the prints are a bit warm for my liking, though I know you can tweak the colour settings. The IP4700 scratches printed CD's and I can't get good prints onto discs so I returned it and got an Epson P50 which...

They get detected as oem inks! But after printing a few pages and doing a nozzle check, I see bands on the test prints. I tried...

    iP4700 - your thoughts on CD/DVD printing

    I've had the iP4700 since Saturday and I'm not happy with the disc printing. Discs have staright lines across the printable side after printing. To me it looks like its caused by the rollers. I never had this problem before with Epson RX685. I'm using waterproof printable discs. Anyone else...
