Hey ghwellsir! Glad you saw my post! I'm sorry about the poor quality of the picture - i dont have a scanner and my camera doesnt pick the colors up very well. Also yes, its printed on white paper. Yes, there are light streaks in the dark magenta and light streaks in the medium as well. The...

Ive been reading this thread to try to unclog magenta... http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5097&p=1 Ive cleaned the head 2x by blowing windex through and letting it sit for 2 days to dry...still nothing the nozzle checks still look exactly the same. Is the head fried? Also I...

also....a CIS didnt work too well on my ip4500. Any idea how these cartridge or HP printers behave with a CIS installed?

thanks pharmacist - it doesnt sound like the OEM chip is resettable like the cli-8 cartridges w/ chip resetter? Do you have any links or info on where I can get new chips or a chip resetter?

i did a quick google image search and it might be a HP 4936, 4937, 4938, 4939 can anyone confirm?

Can anyone tell me what company produces this cartridge? is it refillable?

@ mikling and The Hat, thank you for the help. This printer will be used for work so I can justify paying for it even if it cost 1,500USD and up. But one thing thats very important to me, probably everyone else on this forum, is being able to refill the ink. I cant be competitive in my pricing...

Thanks for the link and confirmation. It doesnt look like the ip4500 will do rolls. Are you familiar with any other type of inkjet that will?

Any idea of a new system that will do this?

Can anyone recommend me an inkjet printer that will allow me to print on labels that are feed in by rolls? Something like this guy http://systems.labeltronix.com/Color-Label-Printers/VP485 I would like to be able to refill the ink as well. PS: I'm actually running 2 IP4500s...can they accept...

So i cleaned the printer head and yellow is working again. cyan still looks a little light but alot better. I got another ip4500 and I think Im going to use this printer as a cart refill only printer.

narmenia- I have the same ciss- my father bought it in Philippines and brought it back to the US. Your nozzle check pictures are exactly like mine- I got them when i started messing with the ink tanks by raising them higher then the printer head. They did not go away until i took the cartridges...

I have a ip4500 also... You can disable the ink monitoring on the printer if you don't want to spend the extra money on a re setter and just keep an eye on the ink level manually. Eventually you will have to do this anyways if you refill and don't reset the carts.

It seems that refilling might be a better option with my situation. I'll contact Hobbicolors- they seem local to me with the area code given. jflan- have you had any problems with refilling - are you refilling OEM carts?

If i decide to scrap the cis system and refill the carts. Will i still clog the heads? or does it depend on the type of ink I'm using?

Hey jflan, when you say "plugged" you mean clogged? I dont know what brand of ink is in the system but this the the company web site http://www.continuousink.com.ph/

mrelmo- did you refill the cart where the ball use to be? also what did you do to cover up the hole?

Hello All, I'm a new member but been reading around through the forum a little now. For the most part ive been able to read most of the post on here and diagnose the problems Ive been having with my canon ip4500. I print alot- nothing like 100 pages a day but on any given day I could print any...

websnail- what kind of problems are you having with the ip4500? I have a CIS on one and having problems with the head cloging all the time.
