Maybe you should contacact mikling (Precision Colors) to ask him what is available.

esp, yes the ARC chips work great with these as it is very easy to lift the hood and see how much ink is left in them. They also hold quite a bit of ink. ALL of the HP 02 cartridges are spongeless. They basically work just like an ink tank for a CISS. The ink is pumped from the cartridges...

I prefer the see through aftermarket cartridges with this printer. It makes it much easier to refill (just remove the silicone plug). You can also see the ink levels. As far as I know you cannot reset the chip but you can bypass the monitoring feature. The problem is that you really don't...

Jamorama, Yes, it would work for a few hours after I did a deep clean. I even printed about 30 4x6's in a row without any problems. After a few hours of sitting the "clog" would return. Like I said, I tried many different things and it did end up being the cartridge in my case.

You can refill the HP60 type cartridges many times as long as you never let them get low or run out of ink. Low or no ink spells death to these cartridges! I have one HP74 cartridge that is going on 14 refills over a three year period. I have HP60s with 8+ refills that are still going strong.

I had the exact same problem with the lighter Cyan nozzles on my ip4700 which hasvthe same printhead as your mx860... I tried a different ink batch, purging the cartridge, using a cleaning cartridge, etc. But none of those things fixed my problem. I'm not exactly sure what happened to the...

Like nanosec said, no red light = bad chip. You can try cleaning the contacts but most likely it bit the dust.

I now have 2 new spare IP4700s ($49.99 New shipped) and 1 spare MX860 ($59.99 shipped refurb.) I'll keep these running for a few years at least. :)

What operating system do you use? Linux? Generally the Mac (At least OSX) drivers also have the "Canon Toolkit".

On my Pro9000 I'm pretty sure that it only uses the black cartridge when I select "print in greyscale" in the printer driver. I can not see any other colored dots when examined under a magnifying glass. The printer also prints at about 1/5th the normal speed. My other Canons do not behave...

I'm sorry that it took me so long to get back with a response. I was away from my computer, I have a smartphone but it makes it difficult at times to give a sufficient answer. You can buy the CD/DVD tray kit (modification) from their website at http://sctinformatica.com.br/ It looks like they...

I speak fluent Portuguese. The CD tray and holders is a kit that you can buy from their company.

Are the inks expired? Does the printer give you the option to press the right arrow then press ok to continue printing?

I agree with everyone that has posted so far here. I use dye inks because of their low cost and ease of use. If I was concerned about print longevity or if I were a professional selling prints I would be using pigment inks.

Depending on the color coverage 4 ml could very easily run out in 80 pages.

As far as I know there are no resetters available yet for the new chips. These would not be good to run without the ink monitoring working because you cannot see inside the ink reservoir. I'm guessing that some aftermarket cartridges will remedy the situation soon enough.

If you start off printing blue fine then it disappears you have an ink flow problem somewhere. If you have replaced the cartridge with a new oem, then maybe it is possible that the internal passageways inside the printhead aren't flowing properly?

I think that maybe the print head was actually glued to the purge pads by sticky ink?

Better images and most important longer printhead life.

To the original poster: While you can use aftermarket refillable ink cartridges, the general consensus is that the OEM Canon ink cartridges provide the most reliable ink flow due to the unique (and high quality) construction of the dual density foam they contain.
