    How do I purge German filled cartridges?

    A quick question for pharmacist.. I have 99% isopropanol and pure glycerin that my wife uses to make home made "clear" soap. Seems close enough to propylene glycol... do you think it would work? I have a couple of bone dry PGI-5 i'd like to condition before I try filling thanks

    papers destined to the digital printing business and laser papers

    Hi everyone, I recently had an interesting discussion with TheHat regarding what types of paper he uses for photos and other material and one of the hints he gave me was to look in the direction of papers destined to the digital printing business. Where I live these types of paper are extremely...

    The Kirkland paper performs well above it's price point. Here in Quebec, it's only available in 8.5x11 but maybe you'll find 4x6 where you are. What printer are you using? edit: I just had a look at the staples flyer for next week (starts tomorrow), they'll have 2 for 1 deals on HP or Epson...

    Inkjet Confussion: Stylus CX4800 - Dye,Pigment,Sublimation & ISO

    How are you refilling your ink cartridges? It could be that some air bubbles.. usually a quick clean or printing a few purge pattern pages fixes the issue. I'm guessing that's what happened because everything went back to normal after a while. Another question... are you happy with the...

    Purging color from Canon Carts made easy.

    I usually purge in the sink via the refill hole (top fill) until the sponge is as white as possible... To dry it, I just blow with my mouth overthe refill hole.

    Question about Refillables for T007/T009 and T048 series

    For your R220 and your R300, I would just go with this http://www.precisioncolors.com/E6aref.html I tried the MIS/Inksupply carts a long time ago when I still had my R220. I didn't like them. At least didn't like the ones I had at the time. The plugs were fuzzy to pull out for a refill and...
