I have no idea what your needs are beyond volume. I was just pulling two examples out of my hat. I'm a little out of date on laser printers, but I know the Brother B&W units are reasonable in price, and easy enough to refill. Without a doubt cheaper to operate and without a doubt higher...

I crunched the numbers a while back. Don't think of this as a trully accurate example. Let's presume the Brother TN460 cartridge or HL-1240 engine about 6000 page yield per cartridge 220 grams of toner = about 2 refills or about 12,000 pages. $60 is reasonable for 4 such bottles. or...

Well, keep in mind that the bulk dye solutions for most printers is not very archival. Also keep in mind the cost of the cartridges is not non-existent for bulk fillers.These PG/CL series do cost a pretty penny. It's a question of how many fills per cartridge you get. Your $30 printer...

To be clear, they are not MY graphs, they are from Qualitylogic's oct 2008 report. Epsons cost a little more, but what's not reflected is the durabrite inks is among these most archival inks on the market. Not so good for photos, but damn good for documents. Also not reflected is their...

Well, as of late, it seems HP has the highest prices for their thimble class of cartridges. But let's look. I'm going to use US prices Lexmark X4550 I'm a little confused as to what cartridges it takes Black: 23(4), 23A, 34 High Yield Color: 24(4), 24A, 35 High Yield Photo: 31 For the...

Since you are committed, you may wish to pickup a spare if they are still $30.00. Simply put, while the 40/41 cartridges are not the fullest, they are like $58.58 as a set. Even a set of the even smaller pg-30/cl-31 will run you $42. $30.00 is a good deal cheaper. $30.00 for something with...

Yes, this is my assertion as well even though I don't have direct experience with the PG/CL series of cartridges. The cartridge has a hole on the top for venting, and a series of holes in the bottom. They are designed to drip, specifically 30pl drops for pigment, 2pl and 5pl for color. You...

Look, I'm not going to say it's not a fact that HP borrowed some ideas from Canon. I just don't know if it is a fact. The cartridge design is rather suspicious and in at least some countries the use of a prism is protected by patent. As far as who owns the technology? You'd have to sift...

Until now I thought Canons didn't phone home. I can report on the ip3000, ip5200, mp760, mp830. 1) I've NEVER had the canon driver trigger my firewall (Tiny Firewall) 2) I've NEVER had the driver automatically updated. 3) I've NEVER had a rom updated reflected in my service print pages...

Well, this is where I can't give you honest advice based on experience or data. http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=896&p=2 Headphonesman has the most relevant data regarding cartridges of this series. It could be if you keep these things refilled and don't let them run out...

The page you site says "It seems to us HP borrowed the ink system (five ink tanks) and the permanent print head from Canons Pixma series. HPs ink tanks look similar to Canons." Seems to doesn't mean it's a fact. HP's takes do look similar to canons. Kodak's look similar as well. Epsons also...

http://www.refillinstructions.com/Canon/C24.htm http://www.refillinstructions.com/Canon/C25.htm Any model that takes the PG and CL series of cartridges isn't going to have chip resetting support. One "might" be able to retrofit a redsetter if one knew the pinouts, if the cartridges take the...

Canons and Epsons offer a rear feed. Actually both offer CD printing and in a pinch one could make a different carrier and print on something else 1mm high and about 120mm x 120mm square. I'd avoid the new canon ip4600. I'm sure it's not a bad printer, but the older ip4500 or the multi...

(1) technically speaking it's canon that's guilty of continuing to offer a water down cartridge. The last time I looked Canon grams per page is the highest in the market. The new ip4600 I believe offers a 19ml tank, and several 9ml tanks, this is down from 26ml and 13ml. Ink efficiency is...

Nope. The mp530, mp830, mx700, mx800 fax and have sheet feeders.

You'd obviously need to buy a new set of bci3e cartridges to test whether this is a cartridge problem or a head problem. I'm sure ink would have a factor in printhead life, but 10x each tank is there and abouts of recommended print head life. The service manual contains more details. What...

The head attaches onto the printhead assembly with two screws IIRC. It's here where there is a gasket. Yours is obviously blown. There are also rubber grommets where the cartridge attaches. It would take a good deal of overflow to go from one cartridge to another. As I recall each...

Firstly, you're using costco refill ink. IMS ink IIRC, at least that's what it was when I bought it. It's "universal" ink which well, isn't universal. It'll probably work OK in a canon for a while, but it's not ideal for it. That being said, it's been so long since I saw a BCI-3e it could be...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0BZ0ThJMN0 Righto, this is a video showing the instructions for this CIS unit. It looks like there is no pump. Installing the CIS requires the user to suck ink into the empty cartridges. OK fine. Batteries need to be installed for the low ink monitor. Ok...

Printing on both sides. Auto duplex is where the printer flips the page and prints on the otherside for you. Most canons support this out of the box. The ip3600 does not but other ip3xxx models do. Manual duplex is when you flip the paper. You can do this your self by printing odd pages...
