    Best inks for Canon Pixma Pro 10S

    maaaannn, i'm currently refilling 72 with 29's ink and thank you to pointing out that 72GY = 29DGY........ not sure if i already did them, (3 to go, i don't remember which ones) might have to flush my 72GY's... ! How about other PFI-1000 ? it seems strange that only red and CO are the same.

    Saving a canon pro 10 printer, one day at a time.

    ah thank's, good insight ! i'll probably put an order in the next couple of weeks. I'm trying to figure if i should go all retard with genuine canon's ink coming from pgi 29 cartridges (there is a 85€ deal on C/M/Y/PC/PM/R on amazon right now) or if i go with octoink ink. I don't have mean to...

    Saving a canon pro 10 printer, one day at a time.

    Yes i was thinking about that. I want to order a potty from them and was wondering what kind of model i should get for the pro 10. What do you think of their ink compared to canon's ? Inktek one fell quite far away from canon's and i don't have calibration tools to make my own profiles.

    Saving a canon pro 10 printer, one day at a time.

    CO is there but with inktek's CO it is even less noticeable than with canon's. I just refilled 2 set of pgi-72 using pgi-29 ink, i'll post a scan of the nozzle check once i do the swap. I have to figure what happened to a Red cartridge first. It seems it has dried from inside. Refilling it is...

    Saving a canon pro 10 printer, one day at a time.

    After the successfully save of a pro 10, i got my dirty hands over a pro 10s that was sitting idle for 2 years. Most cartridges weren't empty but some were very low. I didn't installed a potty yet so i don't know if the printer attempted anything, headcleaning related, when i fired it up. and...

    Following my previous post, i'll now document the refilling process I was fortunate enough to find a set of those bottle on vinted. Brand new, sealed so i used it to refill my cartridges instead of using This set of ink i had for my XP-960. The process was the same as for the Canon pro-10. I...

    Oups ! i did it again. Canon Pro-1

    I was more thinking of what is in the printhead. I've read somewhere (probably on this forum) that there is ~ 15ml of each colors in the printhead. I saw a post with a dismantled printhead (probably yours...) showing white bags that are supposed to be filled by ink. I thought about getting the...

    Oups ! i did it again. Canon Pro-1

    Very well, that was the recommandation i was waiting for anyway. How would you proceed to salvage the ink in the tubes and printhead ? Can i simply start a headswapping procedure, get the printhead and suck the ink from the feeding holes ? Thanks ! Oh and by the way, can i use the pro-1 ink in...

    Oups ! i did it again. Canon Pro-1

    So much knowledge *_* Pro the Pro-10 it was dumped for, what i understood while chatting with the previous owner's wife, is that he got bored of tweaking it for accurate colors and ended up giving it's prints to a lab. (he was probably a bit too rich to bother). Also he didn't told me but he...

    Epson 378 cartridges and resetter question

    Good to know. I skept this resetter now because replacements are cheap on aliexpress (like 3-4€) and i don't print that much. For the ink cartridges there are several resetter, some are sold for 17-18€ and given for 105 resets and some are unlimited, either on battery or usb-cable. For ~28-30. I...

    Oups ! i did it again. Canon Pro-1

    i'm aware of this however for the pro-10 i scavanged last year the B200 error didn't came back (yet). Which led me to think that it was a room temperature/humidity related problem. Isn't it related to a temperature sensor in the printhead meant to prevent damage printhead overheating ? For this...

    Epson 378 cartridges and resetter question

    Really ? I had no luck resetting ARC chips on the 24XL i used for the XP-960 i had. If it's different for the 378 that's great ! I have aeuropean XP-8700. Still looking for a XP-15000 but they're rather rare on the second hand market. Anyway that's more a matter on not trusting the sponges of...

    Epson 378 cartridges and resetter question

    Hello, i was wondering if you can reset original Epson 378 cartridges with a cheap resetter from aliexpress or if it only works on one-time-chips OEM empty cartridges that you usually find alongside thems. i'm aware cartridges shouldn't be empty and, fortunatly, only the Yellow is. I'll also try...

I was using Premium Inks from a GB Supplier for a XP-960 (i always try to go as cheap as possible) but the results weren't great. I'll try the 107 to see if...
