Here's my experience with our shiny new Canon resetter: It will use any new generation Canon printer to reset the chips via a modified cartridge which is connected to the resetter. The documentation that comes with this resetter says that new Canon printers (i.e. ip4300) communicate with the...

Hi Gang, I just received a chip resetter from thInktank. It uses a Canon printer and a modified cartridge to reset the CLI-8/PGI-5 cartridges. The price on the unit is 295 Sterling ($595 US - $593 Canadian :-> ) They happily and quickly shipped it to me in Canada. The unit seems to work as...

I subscribe to AnswerCo and consider them an invaluable resource for cross-referencing. They offer a free trial to their service so you can see if it seems to be worthwhile. For myself, I'd feel crippled now without them! http://www.answerco.com/ - Jeff from 'Scotia

Last month Lyra Research hosted a webinar on how China was bending the printer and ink model. Epson had been losing up to 80% of their consumable sales to aftermarket - when your sales model depends upon ink sales to be profitable this is very bad. Recently (in the last couple of years) they...

This should prove interesting - someone make us aware of this yesterday on the comp.periphs.printers newsgroup - I've registered for the webcast. Breaking the Model: Will Chinese Consumers Force Printer OEMs to Give Up Their Razors and Blades? Jan 16 2007 @ 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT Register...

Recharger Magazine is an excellent resource for anyone selling or remanufacturing aftermarket printer supplies. For instance, in the classifieds section on their website you'll find dozens of companies that buy or sell empties: http://www.rechargermag.com/classifieds/display.asp?CategoryId=12...

Hi ramrod, Given that I sold Q-Ink for several years I have some experience with the brand going up to early 2003. One of the reasons for us switching to G & G was the color matching on the Canon bci-6 cartridges was not as close with the Q-ink. Having said that, we did not have any customer...

...of course there's the obvious question of whether you've tried a different black ink tank. I've been frustrated in the past by defective cartridges that mimicked this behaviour.

My experience with the K550 is thus: Excellent office/general use printer. On forms, brochures, newsletters, etc. it is fully twice as fast as my Canon ip4000 (achieved because text and graphics at normal setting on HP = high quality setting on Canon). Very 'violent' compared to my Canon -...

Thanks for your suggestion Jackson. We have in fact been dealing with Atlantic Inkjet for almost 2 years but recently they have indicated a desire to drop their wholesale accounts and focus on retail business. In the past we have received G&G branded products from them but mainly it is the...

I'm Canadian, eh I use primarily the Canon BCI 3/6 combination inks but as a store we sell for all brands of printers including Epson and Brother. Essentially what I'm looking for is a distributor of quality ink with a location within Canada. I was asking about Cana-Pacific because they are...

Does anyone here have experience with Cana-Pacific compatible cartridges? Up to this point I have been receiving what seems to be VVG (green box) cartridges but lately I have been having similar problems as Neil reported with the G&G - leaking, draining, cross-contamination, etc. My Canadian...
