Lidl is selling cartridges again! These are only tree times a year on offer. The quality is known to be good (filled with Peach ink). They are in the shops on Thursday July 2nd, in Holland that is. In other countries the offer can be some weeks earlier or later.

Two new printers by Epson don't use cartridges any more. There is a build in CIS, and the printers come with enough ink to print 4000 pages (B/W). Ink for these printers is sold by Epson in bottles, the ink is not expensive. The models are: L555 and L355. This is good news for us refillers. No...

When does the firmware upgrade take place? It appears that the Epson printer tries to upgrade the firmware when the 'almost empty' screen is shown. This screen dump shows a similar screen, but the carts aren't empty yet. The upgrade takes place when the box 'buy Epson ink' is ticked or the...

As promised, I show here how to refill a Picturemate cartridge. In this example a Picturemate 100 cartridge is refilled. Cartridges of other Picturemate models are refilled in the same way, but resetting the cartridge of the newer models may differ. First, find out how much ink is left in the...

Again one of my printers broke down. This time it's the paper transport that simply stopped working. Again it's an Epson, the R245. It's useless to repair a printer in that price class. I dumped it in the garbage container. Maybe we just can't expect much of cheap printers and should we go for...

Again a flash card stopped working. This time it's a PQI compact flash card from the F1 series. So this is the third card in a short time that gave up the battle. Some weeks ago two cards from A-data broke. One 4 Gb compact flash card and one 4 Gb SD card. The last one lost its write protect...

The cartridges are on sale again at Lidl. In your region it may be some weeks earlier or later so check the Lidl offers for your region. The package says 'ink Swiss made' so I think the carts are filled with 'Peach' ink. I bought the 'for Canon 526' product last year and I'm satisfied with the...

The half yearly photo paper sale is on at Aldi. This paper is called "netBit" but it is obviously Sihl. I bought this paper half a year ago and I'm very satisfied. The other ad is a very cheap universal ink set. I can't say much about the quality yet, but it comes with a lot of extra's...

... keeps your printer fit! Forum members who don't print much will notice that the nozzles get clogged after a week of non use. Specialists here recommend to print a nozzle check twice a week to prevent this. But a nozzle check printout is dull, so people often forget it. Printing one or two...

Latex gloves on offer at Lidl. In my country the offer starts at week 6. Check your local Lidl offers for the week number in your region. It can be found under "W5 cleaning products"

My Epson printer has passed away so it's time to look for a new office printer. I am thinking of a Brother printer, because Brother make printers with an A3 scanner on board. And it's a lot of work to scan a newspaper article with an A4 scanner. Brother is also the brand that still sells...

Or maybe I should call it Black Death, because it's the black that suddenly stopped half way a print. The black OEM cartridge of my B40W wasn't empty at all and exchanging that cartridge didn't help. Next thing I did was flushing the black by a syringe filled with printhead cleaning fluid that...

This month the United Office (Sihl) gloss photo paper is available again at Lidl stores. Also of interest: An Olympia paper cutter. In the Netherlands the offer starts januari 20. Check the Lidl offers in your own region for the actual date.

Just noticed an advertisement for refillable carts with ARC chips. http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/computers-en-software/printers/m718267104-auto-reset-canon-inkt-catridge-ip7250-mg5450-mg5550-mg6350.html?c=be2da871b0d84f75c3056cc6db858f31&previousPage=lr A bit costly yet, but they had to be newly...

Why should anyone want to print on the back of photo paper? To make greeting cards! Ive tried different combinations, pigment and dye ink, for Epson and Canon. Papers by Epson and Sihl. But the back of photo papers are simply not printable. The ink takes hours to dry and then it still can be...

Many people use a main switch to disconnect the computer and other equipment after closing down. But for certain generation of Canon printers it is recommended to keep the printer connected to mains all the time. Until now I kept my Canon printer connected to the mains. But it appeared that the...

So I bought the Canon MG6250 instead of the MG6350. Thank you The Hat for your advise on that. :thumbsup This model uses 525/526 cartridges. But I've heard that the 520/521 series also fits in this machine. Does the printer simply accept the 520/521 chips or do I have to use the 525/526 chips...

Each half year Lidl sells cartridges for popular printers. 6 months ago Ive tried some and I have no complaints about density and flow.

Ive bought many empty refillable cartridges and I want to share the experiences. Because it is almost impossible to refill the latest generation OEM cartridges I switched to refillables. These carts can be filled and refilled over and over again. Filling is easy: just remove a plug and insert...
