Thanks for feeback but I am struggling to see what the IP8750 offers over the ix6850. The IP8750 has an extra grey cartridge which could possibly be a bonus for those who wish to print B&W photos. Apart from this, I can see no advantage in paying up to £100 more for the IP8750. I have a couple...

Would like some feedback on Canon A3 Printers. I'm not a pro photographer but have been using Canon printers way back to the ip3000 and before. Courted with Epson and Brother but Canon is my home. Pro series would be overkill for my needs. Tried a Brother A3 printer but output was...

Think I've cracked it. Reset EEPROM with a combination of power and reset buttons and now ink monitoring is back. Got details from the Internet. I think it was for resetting ink pads on the old "i" printers. However, it worked. Back to refilling OEM Carts again. Laying off ARC carts, because I...

Thanks for reply. Tried different combinations of carts. Even inserted a completely empty OEM cart and ink volume still showed full. Looks like the EEPROM has been corrupted as you suggested. Can continue to print but will have to watch ink volumes carefully.

I've gone through 3 brother DCP-J4120DW printers in the last year One was s/h and had a print head blockage which I couldn't resolve. The other two eventually had duplex printing problems resulting in jammed paper problems. In my experience Canon Printers are far superior to Brother printers...

Strange problem with my trusty old IP4500. Carts are showing as full even after heavy printing. Have been using ARC carts but switched back to OEM carts with red setter and ink monitoring doesn't show any decrease in ink levels after printing. I've never come across this before. Not a great...

This printer is a complete plastic junk compared to the Ip4500 but it offers the same quality outputs as the ip4500. Non OEM and refillable carts are readilly available so ink refilling lives on. I am still using refillable arc carts on my ip7250 with no problems and still refilling my ip4500...

Isan't it time for a new printer. In my experience stubborn ink blocks cannot be resolved in the long term. I've spent many a "Happy hour" trying to unblock printheads. Hot water is my prefered method but unless you have a top of the range model, it's often better to purrchase a new PH (if...

Probably too late to help you but removing and replacing the print head often solves the problem with this printer

Belated reply but I'm still using my ARC chipped refillable cartridges with no problems on my IP4500 and ip7250 printers. Top filling does it for me. That's not to say that the German refilling system is inferior. It's probably just that my ham filling procedure just doesn't work for me. The...

Black dye ink will probably be less troublesome for PH blockages but you won't get the same crispness if you don't use pigment black

Looks like PH problem. Use the usual cleaning methods Removing the PH and give it a good flush is your best bet. Hot water works best IMO. If no success just buy another printer. Nothing can compare with the IP7250 for value. Refillable ARC carts will save you a fortune. Been using my IP7250...

Been using refillable carts on my ip7250 for 3 years (June 2015) with no problems at all . It's just like the old IP4000 days. These printers are cheap as chips as are the refillable carts. No need to spend ages on refilling. However, to spare the environment, slow filling and refilling before...

Just keeping up to date with Epson and now Canon printers with these tanks. Crazy prices and unless you go for the top of the range models you don't get WIFI or duplex printing. The old ip4000 did everything that these printers do, other than WIFI at a fraction of the price. Refilling with...

I posted, several months ago that I had started using these arc carts in my IP7250 and IP4500 printers. The IP7250 was a no brainer because there isn't any other alternative that I'm aware of, other than buying already refilled carts. The IP4500, so far, has been a revelation. No blockages or...

Really interesting. Epson has priced their Ecotank printers too high. If Canon price it's printers more realistically then it could catch on. Personally I doubt it.

I think you are seeking the impossible. I have 3 different Canon MFPs and none have great scanners, if you are looking for crisp photos with anything like true colours. They're good for documents etc but, IMO, you need a dedicated scanner for realistic scans. I was so fed up with the poor...

I'm not promoting ARC chips over OEM cart refilling. Just trying to prolong my PH life and trying something else. I've been using the German refilling method for several years and must have saved hundreds of pounds/dollars in the process. At the same time I've lost several PH's sometimes by just...

Very generous offer but I already have a resetter for these carts. Thanks though to the Hat. He is a top bloke.

As expected opinion is split on this. The frailty of Canon print heads doesn't help this discussion. The loss of a Canon IP4500 is almost as bad as losing a relative (Just joking). Purists may decry the use of ARC carts but the quality is so much better than it used to be and I've not had one...
