    Replacing a Canon Pixma ip4000

    You might want to check www.inksupply.com (MIS Supply) and look at what they have to offer. They specialize in all things Epson including CIS and excellent ink. I've used their HP ink for years with zero problems. They also have quite a bit of info on the site.

    Canon MP510 Ink Level Display

    The chips on these cartridges cannot be reset by the consumer so there is no way to reset your ink levels. You will have to individually bypass the ink level sensing on each cartridge. You'll get a warning that you could void your warranty by refilling your cartridges. If you replace the...

    Free in forewver- right

    The $16 shipping and handling isn't the big problem. It's the $99 registration fee per printer. I can buy a lot of aftermarket cartridges for $99.

    Swift Ink

    Hopefully I'm allowed to do this- If anybody is interested there is a 50% off coupon for Swift Ink. I got it from the Anand Tech forums and just used it. Got a set of 5 unchipped cartridges for my Pixma 600 for $13.85 shipped. The code is ANAND50. Here is the page on the Anand Tech site...

    Canon MP510 black cartridges - CLI-8Bk or PGI-5?

    The PGI 5BK cartridge is 21mm wide, the CLI-8BK is 14mm wide so they are not interchangeable.

    Ink syringe?

    I've got syringes from MIS that are over 5 years old and still in perfect condition. I can't imagine what in the ink could cause swelling of the seals without causing problems in the printer.

    Expiry Date of HP Cartridge

    I don't think the chips, if HP used them in 1999, will cause you a problem. I don't think they used the technology to disable printing with expired cartridges 8 years ago.

    I had an HP PSC2110 that used 56, 57, and 58 carts. The 58 has photo black, photo cyan, and photo magenta and replaced the black cartridge for photos. I noticed that when printing in 4 color mode the skin tones were a little red and when printing the same photo in 6 color the skin tones were...

    CLI-8, PGI-5BK cartridges and HP ink

    I'm replacing an HP printer that uses 56,57,58 cartridges with a Canon Pixma MP600. I have nearly full 2oz bottles of ink for the HP carts. Is it worth trying to save about $35 worth of ink and trying it in the Canon cartridges. All are dye based except the #56 black which is a pigment ink.I...
