    Ink Carts showing full even when empty

    Unexpected "programming". Why not just leave the sensor active at all times (including a 'sensor test target' on the carriage to confirm it's always working) rather than "delay" it's rather important function??

    Ink Carts showing full even when empty

    Strange that the prism system doesn't trip an out of ink warning. Perhaps something is blocking the sensor??

    Tip on how to Dry Silicate Bags

    I didn't realize raw materials for 3D printing required "dehydration" to improve results, but it does make sense! Just like dry mounting a print, both the print and substrate should be dried (in the press) before mounting, else bubbles (from moisture) may occur after mounting.

    Silver Bullet for clogged printheads

    Hopefully you allowed the print head to cool before using it? I would only have printed nozzle checks (if the HP has that feature) before challenging the print head with solid bars... Can't argue with success, though!

    CLI-42 Refilling

    LA Awesome contains "some" Sodium Hydroxide, otherwise known as lye. Very hash stuff! NEVER let that get near a print head. I always final flush with distilled water, as the residual contaminants in de-ionized (softened) water are really unknown. Water is strange stuff. It is REALLY...

    CLI-42 Refilling

    Some use dishwashing soap (Fairy?) instead of Original Windex, since ammonia is under restrictions in some countries. Distilled water is recommended as a final rinse (or two) to remove ANY hardness minerals from the cart.

    Legacy Inks : How to proceed?

    Can "newer" inks still be utilized (with expectation of "color management") in older printers,such as an i9900??

    CLI-42 Refilling

    "LA Awesome" is a very strong cleaner! It works well on outdoor cooking grills and similar really greasy deposits. On the bottle, it notes it is not recommended for glass. The recommended cleaner for Canon carts is Original Windex. I would NEVER let LA AWESOME (diluted or not) enter a print...

    Printing issues after refilling black

    Be aware that that type of cart will still have a foreshortened life, since that type of print head has marginal cooling. NEVER let that style of cart run empty of ink, or will be certain to overheat the print head. The ink itself is a major source providing cooling of the head.
