    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    I am sorry -- I had mistaken PG 810 and CL 811 for the separate ink tanks for the latest Canon models. Obviously, my points would make no sense as these printhead integrated cartridges do not have an exit port. I will delete my last post.

    Refilling The Pgi-9 Cartridges

    Watching right now... this seems an EXCELLENT video. Strong light, clear voice, neat unstained hands -- the instructions are simple and informative. I am preparing a posting about videos (mainly addressed to professionals from the viewpoint of the user) and your video is a top example of what...

    Which Canon Printer.

    I really don't know. I think you should PM inkoholic since he is already doing this on the 610. But I don't think that will be a problem considering that many of these printers can print from a memory stick without having problems being already connected to computers. If inkoholic is reading...

    What's wrong with these people?

    Instructions on how to damage your print head by powerdrilling cartridges sitting on it, spill ink while refilling with an open top hole and risk a ribbon damage as the wrong plunger crashes to Canon's new low protective covers. Are these people brain dead ? This is what gives refilling a bad...

    Which Canon Printer.

    Food for thought: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-BU-30-Bluetooth-Adapter-PIXMA/dp/B00164822W but apparently ANY standard (eg. not atheros boot room) bluetooth adapter can be used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkEWycAFB0o I'd say, research that possibility. Avoiding a second printer is avoiding a...

    Starved for magenta, HP C309a

    This cleaning method has been used by many with success. It's best to do it with paper towels instead of tissue. Keep repeating the steps until you see clean fluid appearing on all the pickup disks. If it doesn't after 3-4 repetitions, then you can switch to a more intensive method.

    The Hat ReFilling Method Mark ll for PGI-9 Cartridge.

    That will definitely be very interesting. This ("Canadian method?") seems to be very neat and easy.

    The complete refillers guide to the PGI-9 cartridge made easy.

    Considering Mikeling's method of simply dripping ink into that cartridge, would it be possible to modify your method so that you just connect the syringe to the cartridge without a needle, place it at a certain angle slightly above the cartridge so that by simple gravity ink will be forced into...

    Sudhaus refill inks

    I have used these inks when I bought my redsetter. The quality was excellent. Among the best I've ever used. But I print almost entirely on plain paper and I only care about characteristics such as reliability, duplex printing quality, water, smudge and marker resistance etc.

    Printhead shopping

    You are. I have bought Canon print heads from Office Store Depot twice in the past. I am satisfied with both their prices and their service.

    Canon ip5200 problem - no ink on paper - not even nozzle check

    The photo black can be improved by replacing your cartridge. Either your photo black ink is not good, or your refilling was not successful or your cartridge needs purging (especially if you use the top fill method) Also, try cleaning the copper contacts on the printhead and the printer with a...

    just need to vent

    The MX850 (my main printer and the best AIO Canon has ever made) is not wireless but it can be equipped with a Bluetooth module which is cool for a variety of reasons, but not fast enough. All in all, I think a modern wireless non-Canon AIO with refillable cartridges such as these or those, is...

    just need to vent

    To help you vent even more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-uN2Dmn0M On to your question: PIXMA MP800R is the only wireless AIO that uses CLI-8 (to my knowledge). But its impossible to find anymore. Some old Canon models can be equipped with a Bluetooth module, but I think it would be slow.

    Dyebased & Pigment inks

    Hat, I think you took a risk. I am talking from experience here. I had mixed black dye and pigmented and the mixture was killing my HP print heads. A black mud had formed in the bottom of the bottle. A few years later I bought some BCI-3Bk compatible cartridges and the vendor informed me that...

    Dyebased & Pigment inks

    You are asking about the black cartridges, the large PGI5 black one and the small CLI8 black one right ? No. Serious clogging risk put aside, the small black cartridge has to be dye-based as photo papers are only printed with dyes (in most Canons). You should avoid switching types of ink in a...

    Forum Organization Ideas & Feedback Needed

    I vote for removed and folded into the new brand sections. From my experience in participating & lurking in the forum, topics regarding aftermarket materials are almost always related to a specific OEM.
