Interesting but I'm not sure it's correct because startup carts and new IP7250 printers with non oem carts are still on sale on EBAY UK. Can anyone with an IP7250 shed some light on this. Perhaps it's different by region. I'm tempted to get a new IP7250 and it will be interesting to see if it...

Just wondering if start up cart ink levels vary per region. Got this from reputable seller on EBAY UK (I can vouch for this seller) "Canon make 2 versions of cartridges for your printer the standard ones which are around £40 a set or XL versions which are around £60 a set The standard...

I'm running my IP4500 printers in Windows 10. No problems at all. Windows 10 is looking like the best release ever. Currently using Windows 7x64

Thanks for reply. Is there any end to Canon's greed?

You learn something everyday on this forum. I've never suffered with "Bad" ink to my knowledge but, like everyone else, have gone through a few print heads in my time. Maybe contamination could have been the problem in some cases

Very interesting. Please post ASAP. Worth trying if everything else has failed and before you trash the PH

I'm thinking about getting a new IP7250 printer and using refillable carts. In the past when I've purchased a new Canon printer I've flogged the original carts on EBAY which subsidised the printer cost. However, I seem to remember reading somewhere on the forum, that the OEM carts which come...

You will no doubt be regarded as a pacesetter in a few years time. Digital is great for ease of access but there is still something magical about holding a photo in your hand or perusing a photo album. Vinyl is making a comeback and I'm still hanging on to my turntable and amp. Everything...

Here is nozzle check

Nozzle check shows photo black as 2 colours top half is normal black whilst bttom half is grey. Tried head cleans and cartridge change which make no difference. Consequently blacks in photos, print as black and grey stripes. Am I looking at a dead print head?

Came across this linkl http://uk.alibaba.com/product/60080594526-Chip-Resetter-For-Canon-pgi-550.html I thought that resetting chips on these carts was a no no, or have I missed something. I know it's China but Alibaba, is the world’s largest online business-to-business trading platform for...

I take your point but their is something magical about printing. Ever since my dot matrix I've loved the wonder of printing to paper. I hope you're right about a new company taking over from the established printer companies. The golden years were when printers didn't have chips. Then the...

Interesting Guardian article showing how printer manufacturers are being hit by declining printer and compatible cartridge sales. The more that printer manufacturers try to recoup their printer losses by shrinking ink cartridges and high costs, the more the public turn to purchasing compatible...

Have been researching the latest Brother printers with the LC123 carts and from what I can gather the original carts seem like a pain to refill and of course you have to buy a chip resetter. There are refillable carts with no sponges, which seems a good change from my Canon printers. However...

I suppose the problem is in sourcing some reliable refillable carts. My experience using these type of carts, with my MG6250, was ink flow. The carts didn't clog up the printhead but they couldn't deliver ink in sufficient flow for the printer. I took it to be a problem with the sponges...

From what I can gather the Brother AIO printers seem to be the best bet for refilling

Just came upon this thread and thought it might be of interest to members. http://alexeames.com/blog/tag/review/ I can't find any other thread on this but apologies if it has been posted already. I have no connection with either Fotorite or Octoinkjet but anything that prevents printer...

Interested in your experience of Brother printers as they seem the only company not ripping us of with shrinking cartridges and refilling barriers. What are they like for auto-duplex printing? I love my old Canons for this.

Many thanks

My refilling expertise lies solely in the Canon printers area. However, reading various posts on this forum it would seem that it's not only Canon which is trying its hardest to prevent refilling. No doubt the fall in printer sales to the general public is fuelling this stance. There are...
