That sounds right! Thank you but seems now time to pension the printer off! Ex-demo printers are still available so not going to break the bank!

Many thanks for your post. Unfortunately, it isn't printing anything, either black text from a document file or images from pdf or png. I have tried on different settings like glossy paper instead of plain and settings other than "standard". The result is the same - a blank sheet of paper! The...

I have a Canon MG5350 which was printing fine one day and nothing the next! It takes in the paper, operates as usual and delivers a blank sheet. There is no error code displayed. Has anyone any idea what might be wrong and if it might be worth trying to repair.

A set of four CLI-521 and one PGI-520 you need for your IP4700 cost from octoink 9.75. Bear in mind you are dealing with a highly reputable UK supplier which must be worth something!! Do you really need to double up??

Depends on where you live! I have bought empty OEM cartridges for my IP4700 on eBay without any problem

My question was how well does it work? It has been around for about three years, apparently still only in two models - so maybe the answer is not very!!

The Canon MP610 takes the CLI-8 range of inks which are dye based except for the pigmented black. Enquiries over the past few weeks suggest that the dye based inks cannot be sustituted with pigmented inks. Pity! The Epson stylus office BX 300 takes the Durabrite inks which are pigmented and can...

Does anyone have experience with the Canon Pixma iX7000 or Pixma Pro 9500? Both these printers have a clear ink cartridge. The ink is applied to the paper prior to printing and Canon claim this enables plain paper to be used to give a photo quality output. How well does it work? All comments and...

I'm afraid that laminating greetings cards is not an option for all the reasons mentioned by panos. They must be laminated on the outside only so as to allow writing on the inside and this is something that can only be done commercially. We do laminate posters ourselves for putting up on walls...

Can you please say what are your reservations with the Marriot system. Is it the inks that come with it, the sytem itself or both

Thank you panos for your very helpful input. I think that the card we are are using is not the issue. Our experience using varous types of media is that Durabrite, Epson's pigmented ink has much more water resistance than dye ink which your photos show, and yes, selling the cards means we have...

Sorry, I should have added it smudges if it gets wet!!

I have an Epson P50 printer which uses Claria inks. These are dye based and although the print quality is good I produce a lot of greetings cards and the ink smudges. What I would like to do is to refill the cartridges with pigmented ink. I would be grateful to know if anyone has tried this or...
