Here is some DIY (And I can't unblock printer heads)

Your logic is perfect. These are the facts: Six years of perfect printing and non-clogging is a success in my book. The black and the yellow are still perfect. Cyan and magenta not. We hardly ever use color The Cyan and the Magenta were good for 6 years. A reasonable question is why are...

Sorry, I conveyed the wrong information. I have been using generic non specific dye ink in the Brother printers for many years. Therefore the term "Brother Ink" is not correct. I used the same eBay seller many times with no problems. Therefore, I conclude that the remaining generic dye ink...

We never use duplex. Is the top feed for plain paper?

I installed the printer today using the CD. Everything went smoothly. Both my wife and I were impressed with the Canon test print.. The Pigment cartridge shows full. The 4 dye cartridges are low. Since we print 90%+ Black, can we limp along for a time until I obtain the 4 dye carts? I am...

If you top fill a bit of ink while in place, does the chip have to be reset? What is the story on ARC (automatic reset chip)?

USA PRECISION COLOURS "There is a choice of cartridges. Raw Recycled cartridges are physically inspected and require flushing for reuse. The other choice is Ready to Refill and comes properly flushed of the old ink with Low Clearance clearance plugs, storage clips and Canon 225/226 chips...

Are transparent cartridges that I see being refilled, OEM? DEPENDS ON CART WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT SPECIFICALLY where to buy set of OEM transparent?

My experience of many years was with extended transparent cartridges for the Brother MFC-465CN and MFC-240C printers. 90% black ink text use. These cartridges are non chip plastic containers that stick out from the printer. Never had a clog that would remain after a single color purge print...

The cartridges are genuine Canon. No creativity on the part of the previous owner. She said that when she switched to Apple she could not connect as easily using Windows. If I use the very inexpensive aftermarket sets ($3.23 per set of 5) once and discard, I believe that sponge issues would...

I am 76 and still riding kids bicycles.

Thanks for the tip. I bought a PIXMA MG5320 for $25 a few days ago. The carts are about half full. I don't know their numbers. I am in the planning stage for what to do next.

You give good advice. Thanks. I will try your print test.

Thanks. So after I purchase 5 complete sets of cartridges with ink and with chips for $3.23 per set, I need a chip reseter. Correct? Like this $11.99 resetter that I would need to purchase to reset OEM's...

I never had a printer that used pigment ink. Do all ip4000 cartridges use pigment? Does dye ink work OK for home use? (We have used Brother LC-51 dye for many years)

OK I am convinced that the durchstich method is the way to go. The durchstich method is quite an interesting thread. One poster said that he refilled a cartridge 155 times! Wow! I sure would like to learn from his experience. What ink does he use and did it ever clog, etc.

I got it for $25 and I am impressed with the color print. First print from start up takes quite a while.

I never owned a Canon. Is this model a good printer and easy to refill? How about head cleaning? My only concern is the lack of an Ethernet port which is what I am currently using. Any advice?
