I'd take the offer that Epson R260 model. You can always buy refillable cartridges or a CIS for it. If your looking to buy a new printer, you can go with the new Canon ip2600. You can refill the OEM cartridges and the printer cost about $50. That's just my recommendation. Canon's are...

You can refill these cartridges by pulling the sticker located at the top of the cartridge. Usually the center hole at the top end of the cartridge is the refill hole for that cartridge. If your not sure, use the toothpick method. Grab a toothpick and poke each hole till you find the one...

I do apologise for my actions, my intentions are to help and actually learn from other postings as well.

I agree websnail, with the materials point of view (since the majority of CIS are imported from China) but you have to remember that there are companies that monitor the assembly of their CIS from china chinese companies. Tons of companies by their empty CIS from over seas, and fill it with ink...

The PGI-9 should have the same method of refilling. Unfortunatly, just like its lower brother the Cli-8, the chip is not resettable by consumers (atleast not yet). Most Canon printer's however, will allow you to continue printing, even after the ink status reads empty. I don't own one of...

Np, and keep that dog away from the printer :)

Well, most CIS sold are pretty much the same. Now I'm not saying their made the same, just in general, their the same. The biggest difference with any system is the ink, and to be honest, depending on the printer you get the system for makes the difference. Its true, that alot of people...

You should be good with the HP 2600, just store it away if you don't need it right now. It should be fine in a few months. That ribbon just blocks the toner from passing thru to the rollers, but is not a big factor.

Hello, Are you trying to print faxes, or just direct prints from the scanner or pc?

Well most cartridges come with a face plate to protect the roller. If your Using a cartridge, just put the face cover back on there and store it, it'll be fine when you come to use it. The toner inside is protected in the toner hopper casing. So no big worries.

Yes it does check it with a beam of light. The light enters thru the bottom of the cartridge.

Are you talking about toner refills? Or toner cartridges?. As long as you have the cover on the cartridges everything should be fine a few months from now. If you talking about toner refills, make sure you seal the bottle air tight so the color quality of the toner doesn't degrade with time.

What do you mean by ink in the wrapper? Are you talking about OEM cartridges, or remanufactured?

Doesn't sound like he slotted the cartridges wrong, or he wouldn't mention holes and refill in the same sentence. From experience, this happens to people that have a tri-color cartridge with a built in head. You have to replace the cartridge if you cross contaminated the colors. The sponges...

Sorry Hendo, your right, Durabrite are the pigmented epson inks.

Do you mean this is your second time refilling it? What kind of problem are you getting. Are you recieving an error code? I'll see if I can help.

No need to worry, from what I see, there will always be a comptible product for everything out in the market. http://www.genxinks.com

Yes Shrey, those high end models do use pigmented ink. Anything for Canon Printers that uses PGI is pretty much pigmented. What I meant to say was that Epson uses pigmented ink even for their low end printers. The R260/R280/R380/RX580/RX595/RX680 all use pigmented ink. Basically the T078...

Thanks for the correction. You are 100% right on that one. http://www.genxinks.com
