    i9900 Strange Behavior

    Recently my trusty i9900 began printing a strange pattern. When printing a 13x19 print I noticed that about every 1.5 inches or so some nozzoles would 'drop out' like they were clogged but then following that it would print fine then repeat the pattern again over and over. First thought was...

    Canon Chip Resetter Reports

    I know of two resetters purchased from alotofthings.com that were DOA. Seems that the battery is dead. Poorly designed unit has the activation button on the left side which makes contact with the cardboard box and drains the battery. Box is 1 5/8 inches wide by 3 5/8 inches long and 1 7/8...

    Hi Fish, Finally found the time to try the Post It. Works as advertised. Thanks for the "fix", however, when I followed the thread that Grandad35 offered there was a mention in there that the Post It actually masks the real problem, a clogged nozzle. That is the real issue. I'm still...

    Canon I9900 Prints a magenta stripe on the last 1/2 inch on an 8 x 10

    My Canon I9900 has started to print a magenta stripe completely across anything I print. It is on the last end of the print as it comes out of the printer. I can see the paper feed slow down when it gets to the end of the paper. I have seen the stripe before but I thought it was associated...

    Excellent prices for Ilford Printasia Paper

    I contacted Printonit.com to order some (more) Printasia Photo Satin and was informed that Ilford no longer makes the paper. A real shame. I got some really nice prints using the paper and Hobbicolor inks. Canon I9900 & Hobbicolor Inks

    NCR Satin Finish Photo Paper

    A couple of months ago while following my wife around in Kmart, I came across this paper, $9.99 for 15 sheets. Turns out to be a rather nice paper for photo printing. I have a Pixma IP4000 using Formulabs ink from alotofthings.com and I couldn't be happier with the results. I have no...
