Just when I thought Grandad has coverered everything, here he is again with another excellent post! You just amaze me!

Laminating a business card makes it extra thick. If you carry with you many business cards, you will know what I mean. For me, the best way to print on a business card is by using a color laser printer.

You have to specify what kind and brand of paper you want your canon ip5000 to profile to.

wow, ask jeeves is one of the most intelligent search engines out there. students get more relevant results when doing researches there. nice job, good luck!

Are they planning on putting this chroma-inks on bci-6 cartridges? i hope this type of ink is compatible with our existing printheads.

Well, now that you've mentioned it, it MUST be the reason for misprinting. The lock lever not only holds the cartridges in place, it secures the catridge to the contact valve. If it is lose, then your inks might drip, or some of the inks might just partially flow, providing in an uneven ink flow...

It could be the 3rd party inks you are using are of low quality. Or maybe, you are using the Canon default settings to print your photos. Canon default settings are optimized only if you are using Canon OEM inks and Canon photo papers. Try getting Canon OEM inks and Canon photo papers and see if...

i think your printer didn't die, your cartridges did! you said so yourself, you never had to buy a second set of carts! you should've tried buying a new set of carts before you buried your printer. :(

You can download the service manual on the first posting of this thread, and you can print the whole page itself. That would be better. Or you can save the file, and give it to the store manager.

I still have to encounter printhead clogging that cannot be resolved by the standard head cleaning routine done by software, however, soaking the printhed in windex seems like what most people do and with good results. Compressed air is also on the top list. If I do encounter stubborn clogging...

Hi sophia, nice to see a fellow filipino in this forum! I think black electrical tape won't be a good seal. A hot glue gun will work just fine. However, I use the rubber plugs that came with the bulk ink i've ordered from alotofthings. After inserting the rubber plug tightly in the fill hole, I...

I'm using Staedtler Technical Pens. They are designed to be refillable, and uses pigment based ink. Been using these pens since I was a kid. Used by architects, draftsment, and engineers.

I've got arrow carts from alotofthings but haven't tested them yet. I am currently using refilled OEM carts, using the bulk ink i've got from alotofthings. So far, I am satisfied with the results on photo printing. I still have to wait before my OEM refilled carts fail before using the arrowjet...

Alotofthings sell black pigmented ink in bulk. Check their site: www.alotofthings.com

Hmmmm... those papers are new to me. If nobody can answer that question, I suggest you try testing them yourself and post the results here. I'm sure some of us can benefit from that information. :)

Try running a head cleaning procedure, most of the time, it just might need cleaning. Hope that helps.

I can only say this, Grandad35, how I wish you are my granddad!!! On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I give you 10! As Rob says, some of us weirdos here refill not just to save money, but because we actually have fun doing it. And with more and more techniques being introduced here, refilling is...

I know this is a stupid question but... Could it be that your black cartridge is already empty and you may need to replace it with a new black cartridge?

Now why would you do that? Why would you go to all the trouble of modifying a cartridge to work in a printer it is not designed to use? Why not just buy the correct cartridge, or compatibles, and use those instead?
