The CLI-8 MSD is here: http://www.canon.com.au/pdf/msds/cli-8bk_ip6600d_mp500.pdf Over the years I have not found that the MSD's are not filed in the USA, and I conjecture that the reason is that they "don't have to." I recall that the BCI-6 sheets I looked at in 2004 were filed in New...

GHWells, in a backward kind of way you have confirmed the need for some activism on this issue. The controlling Federal statute in the US is the Moss-Magnusson Act (1975) There are various state regulations, and Canadian provinces maintain somewhat similar provisions. The next two paragraphs...

Mikling, I am assuming that it is best to perform this procedure before the printer asks you to confirm the nullification of the warranty. When the time comes I will try it on my ip6600d. Maybe someone will report on it sooner than that.

Dear Xalky, please tell your friends in the law business about this. In class actions the law firm assumes the cost of the litigation. A lead plaintiff is recruited to act as the lightning rod. There is no obligation in this role. Other plaintiffs join along the way. With a judgement in favor...

I bought an ip6600d for $79 new in the box and I intend to experiment with this, though I have not so far set it up. IMO Canon is getting pretty close to the no-no line with crippling the printer if you do not buy their ink. They might be in violation of Federal Trade law requiring disclosure in...

The ip6000D easily produces continuous-tone dot-free output. It is amazing. I made a previous post about this. I bought two when Amazon had them for $99.00. They were actually sold by Adorama and the carriage was $27 each direct from Adorama, though $12 for two from Amazon. Figure.

GGn, I do not understand why reference prints larger than 8x10 or 11x14 are necessary. Your friend my have a good reason. The expense, complexity, storage issues, and headaches of making large prints have to be assessed. Running larger printers becomes a study in essentially a new and deeper...

Get the ip6000. I bought two from the Amazon source and they are a dream. The microscopic dot resolution is better than my i9900. I posted on this but there is no explanation so far. Because of the large installed base of Canon printers using the BCI-6, there will be lots of oriiginal and clone...

Xalky, you are not taking into account the American Dream on the other side of your appropriation. Historically the US Patent Office was one of the bastions of the American Dream, and provided some level of security and risk reduction for the capital risked in American-Dream-Type ventures. How...

Xalky, we can all go our own way with this. But remember the cases of the high school students who were sued by the music vendors for downloading tunes. With your attitude you run the risk, though it may be small, of being the example case intended as a message to all the others doing the same...

If the current art is the patented solution, then it is protected for the life of the patent and any additions or extensions. So you are stuck. Basically the law takes the view that if you do not have a licence or permission from the patent holder to play with their ideas, you must go in a...

If I were doing monochrome prints in a school I would get a cheap laser printer, and one which has refillable toner cartridges.

Mikling, I think you are wrong about the personal use exemption. A copy is a copy. A patent confers protection on the concept and method, and is not restricted to profit-making objectives. I was surprised to find this a while ago. This rule bars a lot of garage tinkering which goes on anyway...

Most "rational" solutions in most technologies have already been isolated. Thus big companies are closing product development departments and buying-in innovations. Generally patents are used by big companies to beat up small ones, not the other way around. It is quite likely that "inventors"...

You do not say what your monthly numbers are. Commercial envelope printing in 4 colors is about $300/1000. If you are doing small runs of 100 or so for many clients then you will want to do them yourself. As with many aspects of the inkjet world there is no medium ground of high-volume, low...

When you say "artwork" you willl need to be specific about paper weight. The i9900 will handle only up to 245 gm/sq/m and does not offer a straight paper path, but has non-chipped cartridges. Also, the i9900 is restricted to 22.75" of print length. The Canon Pro9000 does have a straight paper...

If you used Inkpress papers you could select two-sided papers from several in their line. Inkpress is a bargain too, and is made in the USA. http://www.inkpresspaper.com/default.asp

Hobbicolors is an excellent product. The comments above about color profiles are true. It will take some trial and error to produce the best color rendition. Hobbicolors can be set to produce neutral grays. Never mix brands of inks or cartridges. Do not use third-party carts. Drill holes and...

Defective Cyan ink was reported to have been widely dispensed into the American market around the end of 2005. There is a viscosity difference between Canon inks and refill inks. I solved my problem with this advice: "The USA generic Canon Cyan ink and the USA generic Canon Magenta ink is a...

Kirkland has been a wonderful bargain, but this example shows you that the big-box outfits have no obligation to keep the contents of the product stable over time. They are just selling sheets of paper, and the soccer-moms don't care about slight shifts in color while they do the team pictures...
