    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    In addition to @The Hat 's info: the setup carts are internally the same as regular ones, you can refill them to the full volume. To refill cartridges with bags see this video...

    EPSON or CANON, help me decide

    I have a Canon Maxify for business prints/scanning and a PRO-10 for photos. The Epson ET-8550 could do both (with some compromises). The low ink cost (without all the mess of refilling carts) is a major advantage too. If I would start over today I would think about the ET-8550 seriously, since...

    Pro-10 vs Pro-300 print head

    I still have one working in the printer, a second PRO-10 laid up with an almost new head and a brand new printhead in the box... Based on a testimonial of Precisioncolors, his only customer with a failing printhead ran the cartridges empty. These things seem to be way better than the...

    PRO-10 (and PRO-300) CO consumption reduction - read on

    Well, I missed the opportunity then ;). OTH I once bought their PRO-9500 replacements and sent them back immediately. Also saw several times printers for sale completely messed up by their inks. This for sure also was due to the badly built 3th party carts. Anyway, maybe I never will need...

    PRO-10 (and PRO-300) CO consumption reduction - read on

    The PRO-10 I bought used (with <100 pages) almost 5 years ago is now at 2750, mostly A4. Including nozzle checks, cleaning etc counting 1ml/page that should make about 3l of ink or 300ml/colour. This seems to be confirmed by my purchases over the years. (I print every 2 weeks or so and shut down...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Hello Hat! Didn't you use the Chinese ARC's ? Had to replace one or two over the years but no problems since. I replace a cart only when the printer says it is empty, so I do not interfere with the official routines. This works most of the time, maybe pulling the plug and replacing all at once...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Indeed, once you get cross contamination it is difficult to eradicate due to the buffer in the printhead. I'll try to print lots of pages full of magenta and yellow (better than filling the purge pads by cleaning cycles), but maybe I should change the carts. PS: I refill only when the autoreset...

    My MAXIFY 5350 is on refill ink

    Dear printer friends, Since a few months I was struggling with stripes in the magenta, cleaning didn't help. I thought I ruined the printer by neglecting the ink low message :eek:and decided to mount a new printhead. (FYI you need to remove 2 screws before you can lift the handle) But by...

    Canon Pro 10S Purchase advice please

    Great buy, congrats. I definitely would buy a Redsetter, it makes the PRO-10 the easiest printer to refill. The last one too, take care of it and enjoy !

    You know you're a printer addict when...

    A surviver here. PRO-10 and 9500II still going strong with plenty of ink (paper and printheads) hoarded. My best inks (OEM large format) are for the PRO-10. The 9500 is for office work with leftovers from all the 3th party inks I ever tried ;). Best refillable printers ever made IMO. On the...

    imagePROGRAF PRO-300: blurry edges

    No, this function makes a lot of scratching noise, maybe it rubs the rollers clean.

    The printer has a roller clean function RTFM:ep

    Canon pro 10s error 5110

    Sorry, not the same error I got.

    imagePROGRAF PRO-300: blurry edges

    The PRO-9500 was difficult to work on (but the maintenance manual was available) the PRO-10 almost impossible, good luck with the PRO-300.

    imagePROGRAF PRO-300: blurry edges

    This printer has a steel rail as the Canon consumer printers, but should it wear that fast ? PS: you could try to grease it (I remember applying some on the round bars of my PRO-9500).

    imagePROGRAF PRO-300: blurry edges

    I do not own the PRO-300 but the PRO-10 and try to think with you. Since you suspect the printhead path, did you compare test prints in standard versus high quality settings (the latter I suppose does 2 passes) ? Happy Newyear.

    Pro 10 print head going..

    Recent printers are more demanding on inks, when you put the SAE W20-50 oil from our youth in today's cars the engines won't make 250K km either.
