Yes I think ink.co.uk is real. Its just really really hard to google. I know its been mentioned here before but I don't know how to search for it... I don't know if there is some search trick I'm missing. I have seen it mentioned elsewhere with vaguely positive mentions so they must really...

I have a blue one bought cheap off ebay. I have to wiggle the cartridge around till I get a contact and the red light comes on. I'm afraid I can't remember if it comes on steady and I wait till it goes off or it it starts blinking and then becomes steady. But basically I slide it into place and...

I can't see any at this moment but keep an eye on the canon outlet ebay store http://shop.ebay.co.uk/canon_uk1/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg= I bought three mp520 printers for my family in the last year paying, 40, 35 and 25 for them with a full set of ink with each one, worth 40 on its...

I mentioned the smudging before. Only meant to point out the humorous irony. In reality there is no reason to believe the labels were printed using the canon pigment ink just because they are on the bottle. Milking answers my comment and says they smudged because they are laser printer paper...

Well they say about 2000 pages from a black toner and 1000 from a colour so thats 2p and page mono or 5p a page colour. Your ip4000 probably did around 300 pages a cartridge so about 1p a page. The laser is probably faster and quieter though but not as good on photos... A cheap laser will...

How often do you flush/purge your cartridges (or not)?

Lexmark is the spun off printer division of IBM. I don't think their printers are bad. They just were one of the major users of giving away free printers with pcs and all sorts of things that then came with half filled cartridges that cost a fortune to refill. But if you buy a canon or hp for...

Yes, or at last with my canon ip2000. After three years it stopped and said it had to be serviced. But looking on the internet it was easy to find how to bypass this with a few button presses and carry on regardless. Of course this does not really deal with the problem but no ink has started...

I noticed when shopping that some of their labels are smudging... (bottom right) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/mikord/C4A_2.jpg (image they use for their ebay auctions) In reality not very indicitive of anything but amusing.

I think one of my canon printers may have actually come with a note asking me not to try this. Apparently they were worried you can never completely get rid of the canon ink which is not meant to be edible and might lead to lawsuites. Rather overcautious of canon but it shows it must be catching...

Never mind precision colors has resurfaced so I have completed my order with them for 10oz of ink. So you may all relax for a few weeks until my ink runs low and there will probably be another spate of questions on refilling techiques... Thanks for all the help.

Hmm his website has been updated. New phone number apparently. It no longer has the holiday message. However still no final postage amount for my ebay order or response to my email. Slightly more hopeful though.

From the other replies on this forum and his ebay feedback you can see orders were being fulfilled till Friday 15th May so presumably he came back from his holiday, processed orders and then vanished a week ago. One of his ebay feedbacks even complains having to wait till he came back from...

Thank-you for ideas and thoughts. Sadly its beginning to look like ordering from precision-colors may not be possible as he is not responding. Annoying that he drops out just as I decide on him. So that leaves; Hobbicolors. I suspect much of the grumbling you read is just due to it very popular...

He was clearly sending orders up to last friday. I messaged him on the saturday and have yet to receive a response six days later. I tried telephoning yesterday but it went straight to voicemail. My three day old ebay order sits stuck waiting for a final amount. I hope he is well but it is...

Have you tried telephoning the number on the website? Its odd as he was clearly doing business last week. Well I will give it till tomorrow and then try phoning. Perhaps he is just having email problems.

Yes I sent an ebay message on Saturday asking about postage to the UK. No answer yet. I have ordered anyway but no message or invoice yet with a total. However several people on my other thread say they have recieved orders from him in the last week. So hopfully he is just taking a day off...

Thankyou that is reassuring to hear. Unless I am missing something I have to wait till they send me a manual estimate of my shipping to order. I am still waiting. I suppose I could just put in 8 dollars but it would be nice to know they are paying attention in canada...

Thank-you for that. I have ordered a 10oz ink kit from precisioncolors. Can't checkout though as I still don't know their uk postage rate. However if they gave you a price no doubt the will give me one eventually too.

I have just replaced my four year old 35 canon ip2000 with a 40 canon mp520. Four inks pgi-5 and cli8 x3. I am in the UK. Exploring the options on how to fuel it four options have interested me and I would welcome any thoughts on them. Precision colors looks like the safest choice and not too...
