Just getting back to my original praise of the Canon TS 700 series. The ink pads are readily available to change/clean. Never seen this in any other Canon printer I have owned. Just got my first problem, Duplex paper jam. Cleaned paper rollers now back to it's best 2473 pages printed. Mostly...

Thank you so much for your reply and the link you posted. A proper in depth review of the G550. I take your point about longevity of photo prints and fading but as a photo printing enthusiast junkie, I just want the best photo print I can achieve at the lowest price. Like most photo enthusiasts...

Many thanks for your reply. The G550 seems to a decent cheap alternative to the Canon Pro. Do you agree?

Partly agree with you about the G550/650. Seems to be a great printer with 6 inks and I have asked a question on another thread about whether refill bottles can somehow be refilled with non OEM quality ink. If it can I would be really interested in these printers but OEM ink even for these...

I'm just an old time junkie cartridge filler. Not really into AIO printers. I have a dedicated scanner for this. My love of Canon printers began with the Canon IP4000. What a printer, and since then I have only been interested in Canon printers which have refillable cartridges. I have had the...

Not sure I can help you but some of the IP7250 cousins like the MG5350 are junk. I had a problem with the feed control on my MG 5350 which I solved by inserting a small sponge pad from one of those washing up pads under the rollers underneath the printer. As for the IP 7250. It could have been a...

Not sold on the megatank printers but the G550 seems a little bit interesting. It's a standalone photo printer with 6 inks including a red and grey. Obviously not up to pro standards but AFAIK it's the only Canon A4 photo printer with 6 inks. Still not sold on the megatank or ecotank printers...

Ts700 is a small photo printer not a mfp but really fast and non arc refillable carts are available. Whatever you do if you want to print photos go for a printer with at least five different colour carts 1 black pigment, 1 black photo and 1 yellow, 1 magenta and 1 one cyan . 2 cartridge...

Respect the Hat but in reality Canon basic printers are cheap as chips Refillable carts don't come refilled you refill them yourself using top refill. Still using an ip4850, ip7250, mg 6250 and Mg5650 and a couple of TS 700 printers. compatible refill carts are the way to go. Fill them youirself...

Has the world gone mad. UK Ebay prices for pre owned Canon printers are advertised at up to 3 times original price when new. Does anyone pay these prices? Still lots of opportunities for refilling current Canon printers. Just have to forgo auto ink levels. As the world gone mad or these Ebay...

The glory days when the ip4000 was king. I'm still avoiding having to use original canon carts and although the days of resetters seem to be over. Still there remains refillable carts. Not the same but at least there is an alternative to the ridiculous prices of of OEM ink. I still have an...

I used to use the German refillable method for refilling OEM carts but nowadays the only option seems to be refillable ARC carts. However, the refillable carts at first sight don't seem to be able to accept the same amount of ink as the OEM carts did with the German filling method. I top fill...

Picking up on this thread. I still keep an eye out for printer bargains on EBAY. However, something has happened during lockdown that seems to have turned everything upside down. The prices of older Canon printers on EBAY UK seems to have gone through the roof. Here are some current examples of...

Haven't posted in a while but still love this forum. So many tips I have picked up over the years. Have tried Brother and Epson printers over the years but Canon rules for me. IP4000, what a printer. Mega carts with no chips. Then the IP4500 was released with full carts but with a chip, soon...

This printer is now discontinued in the UK. Just seen a second hand printer selling for £75 on Ebay UK. Similar auctions are up to £100 or more. The IP7250 is a piece of plastic junk but this printer was a gem in offering photo quality prints at such a cheap price. Now the ip7250 is no more and...

The Ip7250 has 2 black carts. The large one is used for text and is meant to have pigment ink, not used for photos. The smaller ink cartridge is filled with black dye ink and is used for photos. You seem to be suffering from a blocked print head. Lots of ways to get round this but if normal head...

Most of us on here must have saved perhaps thousands of £ or $ by refilling. First we had the IP300/4000 with no chips. Then we took advantage of chip resetters or refillable ink cartridges, perhaps ending with the IP7250/MG printers. Now we have a load of TS printers with no ARC chips or...

TS5050 selling for a song in UK (TS 5020 in US). You could always use refillable ink cartridges with ARC chips

Thanks for replies. I'm a cheapskate and finally went for an ix6850 for £80 on Ebay. Love it already. After many years of refilling and printing from Canon printers (My experience of Epson and Brother printers would be nul points, but that's just my view and I have no facts to back up my...
