    The BEST Canon printers, the POOREST Canon printers for refilling.

    I managed to get a set of cli 520/521 carts recently, so am now using those and the jet tec carts compatible alternately. have refilled 3 times with no adverse effects. i am still of the opinion that the jet tec carts are very nice quality, superb re-usable clip for sealing the cart and the cart...

    cli 525/6 refilling

    Just made an interesting discovery, if you use a sharp blade and cut across the label just under where it says the colour of the cartridge. You can then peel off that part of the label and rub of the adhesive residue to reveal the transparent top of the cart. Then you can see the ink level as...

    The BEST Canon printers, the POOREST Canon printers for refilling.

    A few post ago I asked if anybody knew what the transparent window on the base of cli 525/6 did and how it worked. Well does anybody know?

    The jet tec cart does use a small seperate piece of foam in the ink outlet boss on the bottom of the cartridge which can be prised out to reveal the main foam filling. Much the same as canon cli 526. Incidentally what part does the small window on the bottom of the canon carts do and how does it...

    The BEST Canon printers, the POOREST Canon printers for refilling.

    Been examining the jet tec carts I've got and they seem well made, the snap on clip that seals the ink and air vent is very positive with rubber/neoprene seals and much more re-useable than the canon break off type. They are also opaque enough to be able to see the ink level when refilling and...

    The BEST Canon printers, the POOREST Canon printers for refilling.

    I am currently refilling a canon pixma mg5250 using cli526/525 ink from octoinkjet. I'm finding the colour match pretty good and you can refill the canon carts by watching the ink level rise through the filling hole. For canon to remove the original plastic ball blocking the filling hole drill a...
