Love them all you can. They don't stay children. Then wait for the grandkids. If we would have know how nice grandkids are we would have had them first.:weee:weee
All the Best, Fritz,
with apologies for sending lovie messages on a printer forum.
It is nice to hear that OctoInkjet still gives good service. Martin was very helpful back in 2017. I was in the program for testing (their) new inks, and all went really well. Being happy, I just placed a new big order with them.
Hi The Hat. From now on I am calling you Mister. I had discounted the sewing needles for being too thick. But following your advice I gave my dear wife's pin-cushion a second chance and dug up the finest needle I could find. And I had success. The plug was at the outlet end. Obviously the...
Hello All from the cold of Canada. As the subject says the fill bottle needle is plugged. I use OctoInkjet inks. It uses bottles with fairly small diameter needles. A great system that I have used for years. But alas, one of the needles has plugged say 90%. I can squeeze some "small" drops...
@David.4, are you in any need of flushing the cartridges? Otherwise there is very little need for Windex. For any other cleaning I hardly use Windex, simply damp napkins.
Hi Max (sorry David; or is it just 4).
That would go back toooo long ago.
I had started with Precision but then had shipping issues across the border.
I live in Canada and back not too many years we (the small time receivers) almost always had been given trouble with shipments from the south...
@brwinters, you are right it's not bulletproof. I had a few printed, so these will go out that way. If they smear I'll blame the post (not nice, but hey...). I won't do it again, now that I know. It's not something I "have" to do anyway. I already made use of another suggestion above, a...
Hi All, luckily I could leave the photos back up open to the air for almost a week now. Just to report, the inks is essentially dry, except for heavy smearing. It's dry enough now that I can put the photos, back to back with perhaps onion skin between, in an envelope to send out with Christmas...
Once again, good advice.
I will see if I can find either some of the paper that has "paper" on the back, for the photos that I need to mark up, my writing is just not nice enough for "archival" notes. I will need to keep using my regular paper for all the other photos. I had bought a big...
As the subject says, I need to find a way of drying the ink printed on the back of my photos. In an attempt to provide extra information for details, particularly people, shown in the photos I printed that information on the back side.
This information seems to be wanted by the younger...
Hi, I have been using OctoInkjet inks for my Pro-100 for a long time. That supplier sent me a set of Precision Color (Dyebase 2) bottles which they were testing a couple of years ago. I don't know anything about those inks.
My question here is, does anyone have knowledge if those inks are...
Hi @TDE8.
First I would say "don't" do anymore cleaning cycles. If the ink is really plugging a channels it would only serve to add to the plug.
I would recommend to begin by removing the cartridges, lightly stick tape over the cartridge ink outlets to keep them moist. Don't let any tape...
Over the years I have, because of my development misadventures ^_^, had to rebuild my computer a number of times. Yes, I have also had the odd WiFi issue with WPS.
I would say that you can still get it from Canon. If not maybe one of the other printer gurus here can help with a download. If...
The first thing that needs to be answered is, is my Pro-100 a Pixma or not. I see the "Pro-100" listed both ways. But that may not really be important, because they, if there are in fact 2 different models, would be similar vintage.
Regarding whether a Pro-100 works on Windows 10, I can say a...
If Windows 10 or 11 doesn't pop up a driver, I would try to find older 32bit drivers. It's a good chance that those will install on Win 10 or 11. The 2 systems still have the old Win32 libraries.
I use a lot of "old" software, and they are 32bit, like DropBox, RBtray, setVol, Screen Caliper...
@avolanche, I am running Win 10, and I have had essentially no problems upgrading from Win 8.1. I had use my own Win install program to upgrade, then I used the Canon CD to install my Pro-100. I had an issue with getting my Wifi to detect the printer, but that had more to do with "me" and...
I have a Pro-100 for many years. I have 3 sets of cartridges that I refill and the use to replace in-printer cartridges when I get a low warning. The scheme has worked extremely well. I print say 5 pages a day. Once a month I print something that needs the 8.5x17 inch paper. Twice a year I...
I have a long outstanding question in this regard. On so called "larger" or "large" tank printers, is there a concern of inks settling, or clumping, or drying, etc. ?
In other words, are there any concern about long term, especially when the ink levels would last a long time in printers that...
