    Anybody using Canons to print edible ink?

    Sure is edible as I work with birthday cakes at work and they often have pictures. If you're going to be doing this just for safetie's sake, do it with a new printer and only use it for cake printing.

    Help please!!!

    Universal inks don't work with all printers. And I'm a fan of Stratitec's "Universal" ink. With that being said I know for a fact that Stratitec's ink is incompatible with canon oem cartridges, I always had to refill generic cartridges from G&G to get Stratitec's "universal" ink to work, and I...

    Cheap and expensive inks of third parties?

    The smaller cartridges don't really bother refillers, but refillers are a small majority of printer users. I think a vast majority would easily trade speed for larger less expensive cartridges.

    Canon's new models print to CD?

    I wouldn't trust that comparison because he was mostly just comparing printed CD's and comparisons were made using the canned printer settings. He should have used no photo enhancements for each one. Instead he was tweaking the brightness and saturation. That's not a good way to stay impartial...

    Epson go OEM on CIS..

    This is truly a printer company wising up to demand. Instead of beating money out of people and just ruining their own reputation in the process, Epson does the right thing and finally gives people what they've actually been asking for. Genius, but it only took umpteen years for them to ditch...

    Canon's new models print to CD?

    Print quality in my opinion has declined. It's almost imperceptible but with the IP4600 I remember picking the matte photo paper setting would slow the printer down a lot but it would produce less grainy pictures under a 10x loupe and gradients were smoother. When I upgraded to the IP4700 matte...

    Student looking for cheap simple ink cartridges

    Cheapest would be remanufactured hp 45 cartridges. Although I have no idea how the contacts are arranged. I suppose you can take a multi-meter to find the contact to use but it's still going to be tough to know what kind of signal triggers the printer. Even a fraction of a second too long of a...

    Starting New Inkjet and Toner company

    I have no experience with resetters. Because I refilled my Canon's and disabled ink monitoring which used to prevent excessive head cleanings I lived with just manually checking my printer's ink levels. You can't trust customers to do that, it's why they're coming to you in the first place. I...

    Shelf life of refill ink?

    I suppose you could also filter it through some coffee filter material but 7 years is some really old ink. I'm willing to push it for a couple years tops but it's refill ink not gold. I'd agree with websnail that you should definitely test it for bacterial growth if you're really bent on using...

    Starting New Inkjet and Toner company

    The reason Walgreens can't fill a lot of cartridges that come in is because those are usually cartridges with anti refill chips or a refill unfriendly design. I think Walgreens is not your biggest competitor since they only refill a niche of mostly HP cartridges. No your biggest competitor is...

    Air freight restrictions : Anyone else?

    I think they're more concerned with printer cartridges from Yemen. It must suck having an international printer cartridge company in Yemen now.
