    Pro 100

    It's been a while, hope you are all well! I'm looking at getting a pro 100 for personal use, is it a meaningful upgrade from my MG6220?

    magenta coloured sponge in grey 226 cartridge, how queer!

    So just spent some time processing my used set of oem 226 cartridges, flushed out the gray cartridge and the sponge appears to be magenta stained... Flushed with distilled water, is this accidental chromatography? gray isn't a primary so it has to be made up from a couple of colours eh? The...
