tymada On ultrasonic cleaners cleaners I can get a cheap jewlery cleaning unit for $40 dollars on ebay but these operate at 45 hz and I,ve been advised that cart heads require a gentler 80 hz less than this can damage the head but are much more expensive $500 plus any posts on ultrasonic know...

Grandad I have pulled apart a Canon head and there are no moving parts or parts that can get loose just ink channels leading to the thermal printhead which also has no moving parts and far as I can see no valves involved

Well not quite after recieving an email from inkdoodle about how good his new ultisonic cleaner worked, 2 to 3 secs to clean a head and after I was stuggling with a couple of stubborn hp 57 carts refusing to ink even after half a dozen re-soak re-steam re-prime efforts I was thinking maybe...

Thanks ocular for the link to inkbank.com.au not only does he have some good stuff on cis he also has a technique for filling epson C64 /R210 carts previously considered un-refillabable brilliant stuff. Best part is his shop is only 2 kilometres from me I,ll be paying inkbank a visit.

Grandad just further to your heating of carts I once read that microwaving a cart on LOW for 60 secs can help a sponge accept more ink( you should see what happens on high, very pretty,wife not so impressed though) And just to add to my previous post about vacuum filling bci carts which, in all...

Sounds like you have done everything to clean the head and sponge ok but maybe a little more effort is needed in priming the cart , you mention footprint? I assume this dab testing on absobent paper? I would draw out about 2cc of ink through the head,enlarging the vent hole may help. on hp 56...

I may have to recant on my previous post about bci-3 magenta being a darker ink than bci-6 I just noticed my canon i865 uses the pigment 3-e black the 6 series dye black but the 6 series magenta cyan and yellow so I,m left wondering how this essentialy 4 colour printer produces a darker colour...

This is a return post for Grandad 35 from the filling bci-6 thread but thought it better served under this thread because it may or may not help inkdoodle so brace yourself this may be a long post. Let me start by giving you a short history of my refilling experience 18 months ago I installed a...

Sorry I was unable to reply to my earlier posts sooner due to work commitments however my kids have now allowed me to use MY computer at home for a while tonight. I would just like to clarify my comments on refilling a bone dry cart and adding a few drops of alchohol to a bci-3 cart, these...

I would like to just add a few of my observations on the Canon sponge issue I do not subscibe to the getting air in the sponge kills the cart theory for a number of reasons the least being that the sponge is always vented to air and in fact needs air to act as an ink pump, to support this I...

Since it looks like a book is going to be written on the hole filling delema I,ll add mine.I use ahot wax gun then while the glue is still warm put a small piece of dynmo labelling tape over it to complete the seal and then to refill scrape it of with a razor knife, although the screw and o ring...

I,ve successfully used a humidifier to steam clogged heads on canon printers and HP ,lexmark carts Regards

I have canon s9000 using bci_6 and a i865 I also refill my own carts my ink supplier tells me that bci_3 black is pigment and bci_6 is dye, pigment will block a dye head but I can use the bci_6 black dye in the bci_3 black and in fact some people prefer this. The yellow is identical between...
