As far as bci3 and bci6 color cartridges are concern, I see no difference, I used them in both machines and I think they both use the same color inks. For curiosity sake, you can just switch them around and you will see both printers will not see the difference. Its only the black that uses...

Hi doinkies, I had the same problem with my epson cx4800 some time age, I refilled the cartridges a few times before on this printer, and the last time one of the cartridge just not printing anything after I reinstalled the refilled cartridge. Head cleaning did nothing. I drop some...

Thanks Trigger 37, before I read your reply, I thought I was the only one that did something wrong to the 3300, I did tried every method that I knew to clear up the problem. One way that I tried is to have a piece of plastic tubing put on a syringe, press against the print head, and tried...

Thanks Grandad and Trigger, The first thing I did the next morning was to get a new generic cartridge and install it, hopefully it was the cartridge. But things remained the same. No ink was sucked through the...

hi primusSPA: I did look into the hp printers and yes they also have a waste ink pad, except that they just put a pad under where the cartridges are parked and it collects all the waste ink from head cleaning. I can see dried ink piled up like a little hill and it just sit...

My printer was working fine until this afternoon, when I have a lot to print tomorrow which reminded me to fill up the ink cartridges beforehand. The four cartridges are at half but I top them up anyway. After the refill, I do a print head test and it showed perfect. I started the first page...

Thanks pharmacist, I agree with the air bubble problem in refilling. By pouring ink over the ink well instead of injecting ink through the sponge , then let the ink seep through the metal screen eliminates any air that will block the ink line. I have the prime tool for the HP 56s but haven't get...

I refilled my CL40 and 41 this way, anyone get any opinion on this method? 1. Open up the top cover using an utility knife, reveal the white sponge. 2. Lift out the sponge from its well with a pair of sharp priers. I can now see the screen above the print head. 3. I then use a sringe and put in...

I would look at the price of the cartridges which should be cheaper than the ones that are less than one year old. And if the price difference is more than 30% it is a deal. The main thing lies on the quality of your print out. If the cartridge is in its original package it should be ok to use...

I was going to buy the hp 1600 today until I went to Bestbuy to look inside the printer once more. I opened the front cover which exposed the four toners inside, then I find on each cartridge there were small prints said it is a trial cartridge. Right next to the 1600 was another hp color laser...

I would go for a simple laser printer for now and when you have the need for color printing, get the inkjet printer then. There are laser printers comes with a full toner instead of a trial cartridge. If as you say you only print a few pages a week or month then the laser printer is ideal...

I was looking around Bestbuy yesterday and noticed a sales person introducing a laser printer to a customer, an hp1600 LaserJet, what catches me was he mentioned that the printer costs $269 now is on sale for $199, he also told me that the four cartridges comes with the printer is a full one. I...

good question, I never have a problem like waste ink tank full in any of my hp printers so far, one of them is the hp photo smart 7380 which must be over 5 years, I never have to worry about this problem, I never bother to open the case to look underneath. I do think it must have a waste ink...

Hi, Valerio, from the print test you showed, I could see the missing pattern is very regular which points to a electrical problem rather than a normal head clog. Most likely is where the print head in contact with the printer did not make good contact. Try take out the print head and wipe the...

I have used hp, epson, canon, brother, lexmark, etc., my last purchase is the Canon ip4300, printer only. I got the canon ip3300, I am so pleased with it I got the ip4300 also while it is on sale for Can$89. The difference between the two are the ip4300 can print cd and an extra black cartridge...

Just a thought, since you got the cartridge opened, to clear your doubts, how about switch the cyan and yellow ink and try to print, whether it is the ink that causes the problem or it the print head itself. Of course you have to wash the sponges again, but at lease that will clear up one...

Hi bemaponline, I used to refill my hp56s and 57s, but now I give up. Yes, they are refillable, but only for a few times and you have to buy another cartridge especally the color one that only takes a few mils of ink. I tried the 95 also and it is no better especially if...

I heard Staples have a sale on Canon ip4300 for $89, which was for sale for $129 yesterday. I always wanted this printer so I rushed down and grab one, by the time I line up at the cashier, she told me that start from today, every one who buys a printer will have to pay a recycle fee, in my...

I am afraid you just have to use your printer on black alone instead of spending your time and money trying to fix it. If your printer is less than a year old, your might bring it back to where you bought it and see if they can send it back to Brother since they should come with a 1 yr warranty...

Hi Mr. Gez, from the experience I have with HP, epson and canon, the conclusion is still canon. canon. canon. If you look at the topic I posted last week asking why HP refills dry so fast you know their cartridges can dry up very fast, after refill my 92 cartridge, I left it outside the...
