Mowerman90 - Thanks for the skinny on the Verbatim AquaAce Glossy, white hub printable DVD discs. That's very helpful information. I use a Canon iP4200 for printing on CD/DVD discs with no problems but I've heard others complain about the marks you mention. Thanks again.

I've had older printers that left ink smudges on envelopes. My first attempt at fixing the problem was to set the printer for envelopes using a printer profile specifically for envelopes. I also tried the procedures under Printer Maintenance-Custom Settings-Prevent Paper Abrasions and Bottom...

NothingSoStrange: Loved your post and don't think you are the only one who made a mess on their first refill. You are simply "finding your way." You will no doubt do better on the next one. Don't be afraid to try different methods. Whatever works for you. There's a dozen ways of doing the...

l_d_allan: You edited out a term my mother used when I was a kid. Campy! hah! Perfectly apt. On another subject, ghwellsjr's suggestion to use vinyl tape for a temporary seal on the nozzle. . .It works, but I suspect you fill many carts and are looking for something better. I've used three...

panos and The Hat: This video dates from Sept 2010 and I thought by now there would be comments about it on this forum. If there were, I missed them. Here's mine: I like the idea of the twist-lock cap over the BCI-6 cart nozzle. Tearing off the label seal above the vent and using the...

http://www.inkjetcarts.us/support/article/canon-bci-6-cli-8-pgi-5-pgi-220-cli-221-refillable-cartridges-video-installation-overview-tutorial.html Does anyone have any comments about this video from Ink Jet Carts?

OM2: Most of your questions are answered on this post.

OM2: "battery: i assume it's built in the resetter i've got is not possible to open (at least from first inspection) which confused me a little: what happens when i need to replace the batteries!" Smile has figured this out for the CLI-8 & PGBK cartridge "redsetter." See this post.

"how do u stop the ink drying out of the spare one?" Some refillers put a strip of vinyl electrical tape over the nozzle and store the cartridges upright in a soft butter container along with a damp paper towel. I have used that method and it works. However, there's a better way - buy some...

Yes, I'm telling you the next step is a new print head. You have to decide if it's worth it. Are there any other troubles? Any paper jams? Does it run noisy? Do you like the quality of print-outs? Personally, I like your printer because of the BCI-6 and BCI-3e BK ink cartridges are...

Yeah, it looks like the magenta and dye black are indeed having an illicit affair. It's bad news - an internal failure within the print head. The printer has had a fair amount of activity. The page count is 7,560 and the waste ink counter is at 47.5%. This type of print head failure can...

The test pattern from the service mode is not as bright as it could be but it doesn't appear to have missing nozzles. I can see a difference between your first test chart and the second and third. I'm guessing that the printer set for a while before printing the first chart which is the one...

Hey gang, thanks for answering my question. Maybe pharmacist could confirm another use for glycerin so that it won"t go to waste for stratman. I remember almost 60 years ago my grandfather's brother drank glycerin as a laxative. He lived to be 86 years old!

allan and pharmacist: My wife bought this 6 oz. bottle of glycerin about 2 years ago at the local Walmart in Omaha, Nebraska. She found it in the cosmetic/health care area. It's touted as a skin softener. The active ingredients are glycerin 99.5% and anhydrous....skin protectant. Is it the...

GH: Thanks for the helpful tip. Makes for a much nicer link. See this post.

I use both methods. I make comparisons. See this post.

ThrillaMozilla: Post #13 "It looks to me like the filter occupies most of the width of the cartridge. Are you sure you can go around it?" I had the same question with regards to the Canon OEM cartridges. I've attempted "going around" the filter by making a hole at the ">". You can insert...

wcandrews@sccoast.net, What happened to your picture on post #1? I was fortunate to notice it shortly after it was posted and saved it as a test file - probably the best test file I've seen on this forum. As for the jibes about banding etc. . . . Am I missing something? What banding? I...

ghwellsjr's method of "wicking" a cartridge dry is one of the best methods posted on this forum. It's simple and effective. I use it after flushing and mouth blowing through the refill hole. If you leave the sponge side vent open while blowing, it will evacuate any water in the maze while...

I've never had an ip5200 printer around to know what sounds "normal." As a general rule, most Canon printers make little noise when the carriage moves left and right. In fact, I've had printers, (i960, i560, ip3000, ip4000, ip5000, ip4200 - see my profile) that hardly make a noise while printing...
