Jimbo: Save yourself the money. Try cleaning the pads. I pulled mine out of a i9900, took them upstairs to a slop sink, ran hot water, let them soak, ran water over them and in about 15 mins, they were absolutely as white as new, put them in paper towels to remove the water and air dryed...

Jimbo: I was probably at 50-60%. The pads had ink soaked into the core of the pads, but the outer fabric was still white. When I print, I usually wait until I have many pictures to print, usually 10 to 50, so I am not turning the printer on and off frequently. Since you are not purging that...

:) Just an update: Purchased a new printhead directly from Canon. By the way, they were far cheaper than e-bay. $81.00 shipped. My trusty i9900 is working great, I think better than when new. I will be posting pictures of the old printhead. I disassembled the head and circuit board, and...

Nick: If you look down at the left end rear of the printer, you will see (2) screws (see - Left back detail) that hold down the black plastic paper carriage assembly. You want to remove the screw closest to the back of the printer. On the right side of the black plastic paper carriage assembly...

nickart: Sorry to take so long to answer. Just got back last night from a Carribbean cruise. To remove the chassis, you need to take out the two screws from the back. The front of the chassis is held in by "L" shaped molded clips fasten to the inkpad base. Once you remove the (2) screws...

:D My trusty i9900 which has worked flawlessly from day one suddenly started giving 5 orange blinks meaning my print head is bad. I thought of immediately purchasing a new print head to the tune of $90.00, but then decided I would first clean the ink pads, check out the interior of the printer...

I just purchased both 4x6 (Made in USA) and 8 1/2 x 11 (Made in Mexico) paper from Costco. I am printing from a Canon i9900 with Hobbycolor ink, OEM virgin carts through Lightroom. I printed about a dozen different prints using both sizes of paper for each print and as far as I can tell, the...

Pharmacist, First, interesting comment about the double profiling in Lightroom with Lightroom not releasing ICM even though you have it un-checked and using stock Canon profiles. If you get a chance, would you send me the site where you read this information. I am really into Lightroom and am...

embguy: I had downloaded that file before posting, and it does not have any information about the procedure to remove the exterior case. I do have a written instruction I found online, but would prefer to see a photo/description that points out where the various casing pieces join and in what...

I am looking for instructions on how to disassemble the i9900 outer case to gain access to the ink waste tank. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ron: My shipment of 16 clips were pack in foam peanuts, well padded. I took every clip, inserted 3 different OEM carts into each clip. Each cart fit each clip exactly the same way. The amount of pressure to push the carts into the clips were exactly the same. I think what maybe has happen...

:)I just want to take of moment and express my delight and satisfaction with a product I just purchased from CompuBiz Inkjet. I have been looking for BCI-6 Cartridge Storage Clips and read on this forum about others who had purchased from CompuBiz. I placed my order on 3/14 and received my...

Tin Ho I just refilled 16 G&G carts for my i9900, with good success. Eight are in the printer and eight in reserve. I did a through job of purging and drying. Upon refilling, the sponges soaked up fast, and I released excess ink from the top of the sponge by blocking the breathing hole and...

Thanks to Fish and Arnie920 for you valuable information. I have some G&G tanks that I purged today, removed the rubber plug and tapped for a nylon 8-32 Knurled head screw. I am going to order from Hobbicolors and try thier ink. They certainly have had good reviews and the price is right...
