No no and no is my take in the matter.--and no the printhead is not on the cartridge. On30trainman is correct-----your ink may or may not be formulated for an Epson. Your ip1000 is a thermal inkjet and vaporizes the ink bubble---so it needs coolants, it needs exactly the right viscosity, it may...

To jonalava, Even if your scanner is not the best---and maybe distorts things, even my old eyes sure noted that the MIS red just looked much better in the fruit picture. And for that matter the blueberries looked better also with MIS ink. So I now doubly suspect a poorly feeding magenta...

To Anwenk, First, if you want exact color reproduction, you need to read up on printer profiles on these forums which you can purchase for a fairly low cost. But basically these depend on the printer, the ink you use, and the photopaper.---change any variables and the color shifts.--and various...

To Stevedrink, Hobbicolors does not vend retail--only on ebay by in large--so go to ebay--type hobbicolors on th ebay search bar--find an auction of theirs---click contact the seller to get a contact address. Or go to their website at www.hobicolors.com to get a contact address.------once you...

To Fish Chris, Now that you have paid your money to get a ip6000d--be happy---don't second guess yourself. But that does not mean you should give up on your i960 either---you might try taking the printhead completely apart or try other printhead remidies---there are threads on this forum on how...

I would expand some on Panos's answer. With modern machine shop equipment its very easy to make molds that will duplicate the interior and exterior dimensions of any ink jet cartridge. But with the printhead on the cartridge type cartridge, the problem is duplicating the printhead. Which is...

To Steph, Who notes the question is not answered. To a certain extent, at least in my mind, the other question is-----has the ink monitoring degraded on your i965 or is it working as badly as it always has since the printer was new? And if the former is true, can it be fixed economically?----or...

To on30trainman, Just to clarify---the canon ip3000 is similar to the ip4000 and ip5000---but the ip3000 lacks the BCI-6 photoblack cartridge but does have the BCI-3ebk pigmented black text cartridge.

To jonalava, Without exactly specifying how this switch to and away from MIS, to hobbicolors, and then back to MIS was done, I still have to wonder if the conclusion is accurate. The adverse experience with hobbicolors could have been caused by a magenta or yellow cartridge that was not...

I still have not try drilling and tapping a machine thread---but sure have added to my supply of pan head stainless sheet metal screws in size #6 and #8--plus o-rings with one visit to home debot. Plus a local lumberyard happened to have 6-32 nylon screws with a head much bigger than the...

To JoshC, In photoprinting very little ink will be used from your CLi-5 cartridge--its for regular text printing. Also your CLI-8 black is sort of an accent photoblack also is not used heavily in photoprinting. You can expect heavy usage of your cyan, magenta, and yellow in photoprinting. As...

Ran acrosss this question in another forum. In the generation before the chipped canon's the ink monitoring is basically as fotofreek says. So the printer cartridge should show empty when the non-transparent ink empties from the reserve tank.--but in reality there is some delay. But in the case...

Panos's comment does make alot of good sence------but when you go back and read JoshC's post, its "I got my printer last week and am already running low on ink" on my originally supplied cartridges. If this printing rate keeps up, JoshC is going to have to really scurry to get his refill...

To JoshC, I will say fotofreek has given you an excellent answer. But I mention a few other things. (1) That in my opinion, the BCI-3&6 cartridge line are the easiest cartridges on the planet to refill.--the CLI-5&8 cartridge line is as easy because the same techiques apply. (2) That the only...

I happened to check hobbicolors today for an unrelated reason. In this case, I went to ebay and typed hobbicolors on the ebay searchbar which brought up the list of current auctions. Clicking on any auction opens up various pages-----and I can positively confirm that New Zealand is on the list...

To Doug, Thank you for pointing out that Hobbicolors is selling a Canon ink especially blended to match the new chromalife 100 inks--I see that hobbicolors claims a wider color gamit--but most people who were refilling the new chipped Canons were using the same inks as blended for the previous...

I too use hobbicolors---and they may be a viable option anywhere in the world--but I do caution that you may have to either have a paypal account or know someone who does. But hobbicolors communication is first rate--if you can arrange payment they will do their part. Shipping could cost a...

In terms of wasting time and money ---you are likely to waste far more time and money finding a printer capable of what you want---but you can call various printer manufacters or commercial printers and seeing if any have anything to fit your needs.

To Snowboarder, Your cited metric conversions are off-----a meter is 39.37 inches---a centemeter is 1/100 or 0.3937 inches---and a millimeter is a thousands of a meter of 0.03937" So 100mm is ten centemeters------or nearly four inches thick. But to somewhat dodge the question--if you have...

To mipspc, Step one is always a nozzle check---but odds are your yellowor magenta will be hokie or missing in action. Then its into troubleshooting---is it a bad cartridge, a clogged printhead, or electrical problems on the printhead? But if one or two deep cleanings don't help, more is not...
