mytime45, I scraped off the label and found a 3 mm hole thru about half the thickness of the case at the "Push" location on top near the center of the ink tank. I could stick a needle thru it. It must be an alternate location for refilling the cartridge. The carts would usually be refilled by...

Grandad and others, We wanted to print ink patches for inks commonly in use to compare color and fading properties versus OEM inks in order to select the best inks. Grandad printed such ink patches with his i9900 printer in Post #9 using the "Extended nozzle check pattern". I printed with all...

Grandad, Printing the Extended nozzle check pattern with the iP8500 gave samples only for the Cyan and Photo Cyan inks so far. I will keep trying with the iP8500, i860, i950 and store printers. Inks were applied by draw-down to plain paper in Patent Application 20050155516 "Inkjet ink...

I am attempting an ink fade test of OEM, BIJC#1, BIJC#2 and OA100 inks similar Renard DellaFave's tests in: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1003&message=12198835 Using a 2 cm x 2 cm plastic template and painting ink with Costco Q-tips, I can apply the ink about as evenly as...

Grandad, I calculated the ink usage and cost for my iP8500 printer with BIJC#2, to compare with your values in Post#1. The comparison is reasonably close considering the many plain sheets (text and some graphics) I printed and allowing for the different colors we might use. I assumed that ten...

My testing indicated that the Abacus OA100 carts described in Post #1 did not use Formulabs ink. Using Grandad's custom printer profile for Formulabs ink produced a yellow cast. See BulkInkjetCarts Post #23 for more details. I was interested in Formulabs ink because there are published ink...

Grandad, great post !! It was very interesting and informative to read your post. I have not seen your explanations in books or articles on color management. Reading your posts motivates me to study and learn more about color, inks and printing. It is important to know as much as possible to do...

In an e-mail to Hobbicolors, I asked the question: Who is the manufacturer of Hobbicolor inks for the Canon BCI-6 BK,Y,M,C,PM,PC,R,G compatible cartridges? I have printer profiles for Formulabs, Image Specialists, Old and New InkGrabber inks and would like to know if the profiles would work...

Alchemist, I found U.S. Patent 6,695,444 "Multicolor dye set with high light-fastness and high water-fastness" by searching in http://www.uspto.gov/index.html using your terminology "InkJet dye set". The patent includes a detailed description of the invented ink and very interesting reading. JV

Nifty and Grandad, Nifty is right, the OEM, BIJC#1 and BIJC#2 carts do not snap in the OA100 or G&G clips at the ink tank end. Only the OA100 cart has a recess to engage a tab on the clip. The other end is engaged by a tab on all carts. All carts fit and stay in place but need a rubber band...
