I use them, too. So easy. No pops and clicks, great dynamic range. OTOH, there's my 1970's Dual three speed changer. Cheers!

So, I ordered a G2260 from Amazon. Days after setting up the printer I realized that they sent a G2060! The latter uses the same drivers, no surprise there. Am I missing out on anything not having the G2260? Since Canon no longer keeps "old" (two years?) printers up on line, I have no way of...

Since Canon no longer keeps overview information on their website........GRRRRRR......I don't know how they compare. I've owned both. I can pick up a 4300 NIB for $125. What will I miss out on not being the iP4500? I don't care about printing on CD's. What are CD's, anyway? (CD's. One of...

As always, thanks. What is clear ink base? Where does one get it?

Despite being on this forum for years, I suddenly feel this a naive/newbie type question. But here goes...... Is there any difference between, say, magenta Chromalife inks between printers? Or, are all the CMYK colors the same, printer to printer? It's hard to believe that Canon would alter...

Thanks again for your continued assistance! I did later find the Chromalife 100 in the description, no mention of "+". I would presume it is. I've decided that if I want Chromalife, I'll use my Pro 100. Use the G2060 color for unimportant work.

Wow, thanks for that information! Of course, I've now got three full color tanks. I just tried to jam one of my long needles into one of the refill holes, could not. However, it almost fits, so I think a small drill bit will do it. Or, heat the needle and melt its way in. I like the latter...

Having had Canon printers for almost a quarter century, I've seen several ink named ink types, the most recent one being Chromalife 100. For the dye inks, of course, not Pro-10 or CL5 PGBK pigment inks. My new G2020 Mega Tank has no such branding. Somewhere in the literature I say something...

I guess it will do. Y'all have read of my disasters with recent iP4500 experiences in a recent post. The G2060 is multi-purpose. However, at this point I'm unable to install the scan/copy driver. Grrrr...... In order to talk to someone I have to register and make an account. Grrr..... Both...

Thanks. I do recall years ago that mixing CYM for black used to be less then successful. I guess they've nailed it down now.

I'll second this. I just put the head, held upright, in a very shallow layer of cleaner. Leave as long as you want.

Months later......More complicated than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_spray

Months later........those are just lacquer. Nothing special. OTOH, lacquers don't degrade in sunlight so there is that. Otherwise every GM car from the 1930's to about 1980's would have degraded. True, the pigments would fade, but not the carrier. (Starting in the 1970's, car companies went...

I agree. I've always left mine on. The home/office iPXXXX. The Pro 100 I turn off as it's seldom used. I found out in some heart clutching manner that one should unplug, too. I don't remember the specifics, but when I turned it off but left it plugged in, after many months I got various...

And if The Hat doesn't know, no one does.

Does anyone know if the G2260 tries to get photo black by mixing the color carts, or does it add some of the pigment black?

Thanks for the ink info. I'll use up what I have, but at $12 for 67ml, I'll go genuine Canon as I run out of each color. Yes, a real shame they went the route that they did. All the better printers are montsters, to say nothing of costing more. After spending almost $300 on this printer a...

Maybe both. I've been using Canon printers for over twenty years, way back to the S series, BCI-6 carts. Possibly earlier. I've loved the iP3200?? and subsequent iP4300 and iP4500. I've had several of the former and of the latter. Still two old iP4500 for parts....or just can't bear to toss...

Thanks for all the thoughts, guys. In the post I said I was getting some new cartridges, but the new ones were for my iP4500. OBS.... Old Brain Syndrome. I'm away from home for over a week, will continue when I get back.

My Pro-100 has sat idle for three years with it unplugged. The other night I thought I'd fire it up. Dang, I got the alternating white power and orange paper feed lights. The Canon advice is to see your Canon Service Center........When I opened the lid, the print head did not move. A tug...
