    Refilling Canon IP3600

    Actually probably no different than here in the US. Actually it is hard to find a Canon printer only model in the US - just AIOs. Think you need to look on the used market or some such way. I got my ip4200 and both ip4500s (all new in box) this past December off what is known as Craigslist - a...

    Refilling Canon IP3600

    I don't think there is a resetter for this unit's cartridges. Also, I believe that they are smaller capacity cartridges than the CLI-8 chipped cartridges. Might be better to try and find one of the older printers like the ip3500 or ip4500 which there is a resetter for. Think you can refill the...

    Canon IP4600 Black Print Issue

    Interestingly I do not see the Print Advisor in my ip4500 driver. It is there in the ip4200 and ip6000D setup. I never had any need for it since all my quality photo printing is done with QImage - printer profiles in QImage and turned off in print driver. Never had any problems when printing...

    Canon IP4600 Black Print Issue

    I have the ip4500 which is probably an almost identical printer to the ip4600 except for the ink cartridges numbers. I have never seen the problem you mention, but again, I haven't printed your file or used your paper. For matte paper I use one from Staples - only for photos and not with black...

    Cyan ink clot?

    Not sure that the Canon servicing facility has the ability or time to analyze the ink. Anyways just run a couple of deep cleaning cycles with the new cartridges and that should purge any of the non-OEM inks out of the visible head resting pads. Would be amazing if they took the printer apart to...

    Canon Cli-8 Office Depot Cartridges Info..they're great for 2 reasons.

    Miss what you are getting at - Office Depot is a large chain of stationery stores here in the US. Their CLI-8 cartridges are probably just one of the chipped compatibles.

    CompuBiz Inkjet

    They are the same - go to inkjetsaver.com and the page that comes up has the Compubiz Inkjet banner on the top. Actually I bought a bunch of these clips a few years ago for my BCI-6 cartridges - they were the orange clips. Worked OK for my BCI-6 cartridges but I notice that they don't work with...

    ip4300 and ip4500

    I have both the ip4200 and ip4500. I think the ip4300 is more similar to the ip4200 than it is to the ip4500. One major difference I notice between the ip4200 and ip4500 is in the output print of the nozzle check. The ip4200 gives what I call the normal printout of a nozzle check (for a four...

    i9950/i9900: Green cast on Hobbicolors inks.

    I, personally, don't think that the resetters are actually writing code into the chips but are resetting some counters that keep track of the nozzle firings of the printhead for a particular color - they are called resetters. These/this counter(s) then present their status to the printer - when...

    i9950/i9900: Green cast on Hobbicolors inks.

    I really don't understand this comment at all. Please explain. What do "resetters" have to do with the quality of the cartridges? I use a resetter with Canon OEM cartridges and it works fine. Steve W.

    is this OK? Pixma IP3680

    I don't think there is a resetter or auto-reset chips for the cartridges in this printer. They are NOT the CLI-8 cartridges.

    i9950/i9900: Green cast on Hobbicolors inks.

    Two questions: Are you using the latest Hobbicolors inks? UW-8 is the latest; WC-6 was a earlier offering. I had a greenish cast problem with the WC-6 inks that was corrected with a custom profile. No such problems with the UW-8 inks. What program are you printing from? Possibly you are double...

    Pixma IP5000 / Hobbicolors & MIS inks / Refills

    Hi Yannis, Welcome. Since your question is basically the same I assume you are the person who I have been answering on dpreview. As I mentioned to you in one post, this forum will have much more info for Canon fans. Just one initial comment - please add your location in your profile. It helps to...

    HobbiColors Ink.

    I totally agree. I just pop the little plastic sealing ball and use that hole to refill. Then seal the hole with either a stainless steel screw and a small "O" ring or a flat head nylon screw. I have started using a #8-32 flat head nylon screw - no "O" ring needed. Of course finding these...

    To Refill or not to Refill - Pixma MX700

    Looks exactly like the one I bought from mapsy. Don't know the reliability of this vendor - he has had a few Negative FBs, but doesn't seem to be on the resetter. Just know mapsy gave me excellent service and fast delivery. Steve W.

    Should I buy a resetter now?..............Or wait?

    At that price I think I would get one to have and hold. Can't believe that the price will come down that much more. But - I bought one from her about two months ago for twice that price. Personally I wouldn't bother removing the batteries. There is a switch that turns the electronics on when a...

    Canon Chip Resetter Reports

    MikeR, This is who I got mine from: http://www.inkjetreset.com/Home.html It is a BLUE version - works fine on Canon OEM cartridges. Don't know anything about if it works on non-Canon chipped cartridges. I only refill the Canon ones. Steve W.

    Recommendations for Canon Pixma Ink Refills

    That is a new one on me. It has to do with shipping charges in the US. Go to the very bottom of the listing where shipping is described. What doesn't make any sense to me is, if I look at the shipping charges, that the shipping for me is cheaper for the E (East coast) posted version than the W...

    There is one and only one seller of Hobbicolor inks and I think he only sells through E-Bay. Just put Hobbicolors into the E-Bay search line and you will find all his offerings. Oh wait - you don't post your location in your info. Where are you located? Maybe the Hobbicolor listings only show up...
