Are you talking about magazine publishing? There is probably no inkjet printers that can handle the kind of job of printing magazines for publishing. How many copies are you think about printing such magazine? You may be able to print a few copies at a time. But if you are think about thousands...

Correspond: Your post have me concerned. I have been using Hobbicolors for about a year with no problems. Just now I pulled my ip8500 out of a pile of computer stuff and hooked it up. Done a nozzle test and printed a photo. Everything is perfect. I have not used the printer for some weeks. It...

Anything solvent is really not recommended. Try to soak the print head with warm (or near hot) water. Soak it over night. Rinse from the top where the ink intake is. Do not soak the pc board though. If you really want to use chemicals It has been said that Windex is safe and effective. Mineral...

John Cox, if you mix equal quantity of C, M and Y ink it produces black as a result. If you mix only C and Y you will get green. However, if you mix C and M you will get blue. That's why if you get a strong blue tint you are more likely missing Y. Are you sure it is a strong blue tint? If your...

If you are getting a blue tint it should be the yelloe that is lacking. If your PM is lacking you should get a green tint not blue tint. Take a look at your yellow nozzle test pattern. Is your yellow fairly saturated? Or is it ligh?

I have refilled my HP 45 with dye based black ink. It still works. The text is blacker than black. How do you describe it? Pigmented black looks grayish. When printed in bold it look darker but plain text really looks gray. It's not uncommon to refill with dye based black ink. If it works for...

From your step 3 I see that you have your ink ourlet opened (so you saw ink dripping) when you were filling ink into the reservoir. The ink outlet is supposed to be sealed off either by the original cap or by a tape. If the outlet is not sealed all the ink filled into the resvevoir leaks out...

Did your old print head print any of these colors? If it did one or more of these colors you may have a bad new print head. Try to remove the new print head from the printer and put it on a wet sheet of soft paper tissue for a few seconds. Then look at the tissue and see it it has all colors of...

It looks obvious to me the 3.5 ml of ink is a joke. It won't take too many 8x10 photos to empty it. Whenever I saw those tiny ink cartridges in hp printers I really felt funny. Does HP really expect to become bigger and bigger by making it smaller and smaller?

Yes the bottom line is these carts must work completely flawlessly. There maybe different refilling methods and each maybe very confusing as to how they work but as long as the carts work you want to choose the method that works consistently for you. Posts from you are good brainstorming...

Wow, what a long post. Osage, all my Hobbicolors cartridges have been refilled without following Hobbicolors instructions because I was lazy to read it. Every sponge is 100% colored by ink already. I believe the reason the instruction tells to not saturate the sponge to 100% by leaving some at...

This is probably the last chance to get mp780 at this price unless they plan to roll out refurbished one which is probably not likely.

Ip6000d is a better photo printer than ip4000 although the difference is not very much. Photos printed by ip4000 look definitely good (better than good actually). But photos from ip6000d are definitely better if you compare with ip4000. Ip6000 spec says it is a slower photo printer but it is...

Osage, I have 2 Hobbicolors refill kits for my ip8500. The cartridges in the 2nd kit are different from the first kit. The instructions are different as well. The instruction from the first kit said to fill ink just about as much as you can. So when I got my 2nd kit I did the same thing assuming...

The salary and compensation package for their execitives is probably the main part of their cost in making ink. Just a thought. Cost of the bottle of a bottle of perfume is probably far more than the cost of the perfume itself. The liquid inside a bottle of California red wine is probably less...

Ghostbear, ah... I think the problem is you got a leak from the BCI-6BK cartridge, if it is near empty now without much use. I'd suggest to just top off maybe half full then watch it for a day or two a bit closer to make sure it doesn't leak any more. If black can get into yellow that's a lot of...
