I've been refilling carts since the days of the IP4000 and have used the "German" method to refill OEM carts and saved upteen amounts of cash, so I've no real complaints about the refilling method I have used. However, during this time I have "lost" several print heads, mainly due to clogging...

Arc refill cartridges are the way to go on these printers. Top filling so not the same problems as other methods. Been using these carts in my IP 7250 for several months now, with no problems. It's not the same as old fashioned refilling, you can only refill a cartridge once the printer tells...

Brilliant. I've rolled back from Creators Edition and everything's fine now. However, I've downloaded from your link and I'll keep it ready for when MS makes me update

Canon Easy Photo print no longer recognises my IP 4500 in Win 10. Been using it up to the Creators Edition. I've a brand new IP 4500 in storage but looks like I've been wasting my time. If Canon don't get you, Microsoft will. Don't let the B--------- grind you down. Keep refilling or at least...

Found the page. Thanks for your help

I've found that my carts, after a while, automatically reset after refilling, without using the resetter. Black and colour. It's a bit messy though but a cheap way of refilling. I love the fact that there are no sponges in the carts and therefore no problems with air locks like with my Canon...

Can't find this on the Octoinkjet site. Is it under a different heading?

Just an update on my experience of Brother printers. They are far more sturdy than mainstream Canon printers, which have become so plasticky in recent years. However, Canon prints, especially for photos are far superior to those of Brother printers and arguably any other printer manufacturers...

Personally I would recommend refillable carts but perhaps that's because I still like to refill carts. Maybe I'm old school though and still holding on to the old days My daughter has been using compatible carts from EBAY for some time for her MG5550 printer, with no problems, and paying less...

Yes, it's a great tool but it little bit expensive. Still a lot cheaper than purchasing OEM carts

For me it the best ever has to be the IP4500. Easy refilling, chip resetter etc. However, time moves on and we we all want AIOs with Wifi & cloud printing etc. and the MG range takes some beating. No resetter but CLi551 carts are available for 50p each on Ebay. Refillable carts can also be got...

I have used black dye ink in one of my printers for years with no problems. If you don't use your printer regularly, it's probably a better bet as it won't clog as easily. I suspect that many compatible BK carts contain dye ink anyway. Dye ink is fine to use in your pigment cartridge but don't...

Presumably this means that even the first page of the print comprises of a colour mix, i.e. EVERY page has a reduced pigment ink intensity. So the only way of ensuring waterproofing is to print on single pages?

I'm new to Brother printers, having purchased a couple of DCP-J4120DW printers on Ebay. I've used Canon printers for several years and have been used to refilling carts and re-setting them. I've been using refillable cartridges in the Brother printers (no sponges, like Canon) However, I still...

Just to answer my original question. There doesn't seem to be a way to override empty cartridge warning on my DCP-J41210DW although, from what I have read, it seems possible on earlier Brothers

I think you have either misunderstood this thread or are over complicating things. I am simply replying to a thread asking if it is possible to use Canon ink in Brother printers. NOT what the result would be on photo paper. Personally I cannot see the point in comparing Brother printers with...

Just an update. Compared Canon ink print outs with original Brother carts ink and Canon ink prints are brighter with better flesh tones. The Brother ink carts are duller and flesh tones have a pinkish tone. Now I must add that I am using generic 80gsm paper and not photo paper. However,my first...

I'm using these larger refillable carts (the ones that stick out of the printer) I thought they would work like CISS, but no. The printer doesn't seem to recognise the print levels in these carts. These oversize carts contain about 80ml of ink but the printer doesn't seem to monitor ink levels...

IMO, OCP ink is the best value by far but cant see where you are based so can't recommend a supplier

Does anyone have any details about which printer manufacturer sells the most inkjet printers? Canon seems to have the most threads on this forum but is this replicated in sales? Canon rules as far as I'm concerned but I always thought that Epson outsold Canon. Am I right? Or does Canon rule in...
