Essentially the answer is no. I say "essentially" because you can view the physical output of one nozzle by replacing all other tanks with empties filled with Windex. If you print a single-color-panel, say 255-0-0 for red, you will find that various nozzles are used, though your machine might...

You did not read my post carefully. All the facts in it are true. Note that I said "regional." and "some," Island started from two guys filling OEM cartridges with syringes in the Guildford mall in Surrey BC around 1999 or 2000. It was messy. The floor was sticky with missed fills, and the...

Island is a regional brand with a prescence in some Wal-Mart stores. I used their product for awhile but found it expensive and no better than Hobbicolors. When you buy third-party you can listen to their pitch or not--your choice. How can you verify that ink really comes from the alleged...

Just a few thoughts: 1) Insufficint RAM. Have at least 1 GB 2) running other applications concurrently 3) Inadequate foreground processing assigned 4) Scratch disk and/or paging file not assigned, too small, crowded, or slow 5) file size too large for combined print spooler RAM and paging...

I have never bought from here, being a Hobbicolors user, but give them a try and report back. http://www.inkdepot.biz/printers.php?mfr=Canon

Inkmon is well known on this board and keeps his own thread. Before starting a topic look through the archives. This goes for all forums.

Dear Dan: You don get my point, and your tone is insolent. One item is for Linux, like we all have that, and the second has been downloaded 185 times. Now I don't know about you but IMO you are opening your system to backdoor attacks and yourself to a lot of frustration if you allow every...

Thanks for the post. That is the worst piece of technical journalism in a long time. The writer confuses several concepts, and seems to mix up refilling with counterfeiting. Locking chips will require complete disclosure at the time of sale. This is a loser idea anyway from a commercial...

Chickens, you can edit your original post to add something. Neither of these items is of general interest or application, IMO.

3M supplies a clear tape called "storage tape." It is very durable and very sticky. Much better than other clear tapes. Office Depot may have it. It will not age or wrinkle.

In all likelihood there are some solids in the print head, with clogged nozzles. In your position I would spend only a little time on this , IF I could afford a new printer. I would not get a new head for this one. There are many threads on the forum concerning clogged heads. Pick the most...

You do not say if these are scans or camera files. It is likely that your software has imposed a default dpi, say 72dpi, with the effect of making one print "too large." Corel does this with scans and it requires an extra software step to resize. All I could ever find about this is that it is an...

You missed my point. Your post asked for opinions and I gave you mine. Did you read the thread to which I referred? Some good members asked their friends in the professions for input and it was very educational for all of us. The economy is quite democratic. You are just as free to lose money...

This idea just will not fly. You are not entirely correct about the patent aspects. This issue was looked at in another thread over the winter. Some day soon we shall all move on from Canon and its goofy chips. One reason for that is that Canon itself will have to give them up. There is no money...

Mikling-thanks for that post. It's very useful for myself and many others who may be looking at Epson for their next printer, to get away from chipped Canons. Do you know if this configuration is used in any wide printer with large cartridges? Cartridge size will be near the top of my list for...

Costco paper is not available in 13". I assume that you intend to use the printer for composing and proofing. If you print to the margins on 11x17 office paper, or in generic art paper, you can get about the same print area at a very low cost. Look at the Inkpress line for good quality at a fair...

This filling accessory gives a pressurized fill, not a vacuum fill, for those who care. The writer should not have mentioned vacuum filling in this context. Then, who wants a wasted ink tube to dribble all over? Canon cartridges are not airless, except when new and sealed with the wrap.

This topic was well covered a week ago in http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1998

My print head clog of last week started in the middle of a session with no warning and involved intermitently too much green, or too much magenta. After three light washes and one set of refill ink and about 100 pages of testing I forced pressurized filtered water through the print head and ran...

I just wrote basically the same post but did not submit quickly. My prints were grossly pink and it was the cyan ink that was too thick. See this thread http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=65&p=4
