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...

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...

One of the things I really like is the Preview feature of the Pro-100, before giving the last "OK to print". But there is an issue that seems to be with the "Preview" feature cropping the right edge off the image. The first image below shows the full right edge of a Visa statement in an PDF...

admin, please remove this post others, please don't reply here, go to my real (first) post on this: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/pro-100-gray-is-darker-than-black.15689/

My Pro-100 nozzle checks show gray darker than black. It's not a new issue, it's been like that for a long time. But the question is, does this point at a problem? I have paid attention to make sure the "gray" carts in my 3 sets have been refilled with the correct "gray" color, for probably...

Hello. I need to replace a set of (refillable) cartridges about every 4 to six months. I have two sets of cartridges, and practice to refill the two sets when the second set is empty. That means that the first empty set sits empty for 4-6 months. I do keep the empty set in a freezer bag with...

A pitch for Canon. There is a feature that is spoken of very little. It's the Preview. This is not a preview that your desktop software generates. It's a preview that the "Canon print driver" generates. With this I am "really" satisfied that the printer will get what "I thought I sent"...

The question probably spawns a number of new questions. The problem I have is that some refilled carts are messy right from the time they are refilled from the initial clean state, meaning they had been rinsed with water, windex, and again with water, before drying for a long time (like a...

We have new instructions on how to handle paper jams. (with apologies to the publishers of "Scary Gary" comic strip. I hope for their understanding for posting this issue here. In any case, it is very appropriate. I thank them for their work. Respectfully kdsdata).

As many have discovered, "borderless" does not work for "all" paper sizes and types. Certainly not on my Pro-100 (so far my only complaint about this printer). I get my photo paper custom cut from a bulk purchase, which really reduces the per photo paper cost. However it also means I have a...

Until recently I have for years been using a vendor at the local market to refill my carts. That was for the i9900. He won't do the CLI-42 for the Pro-100. He says to finicky and not enough after-market business for him. OK, so I started my own refilling, There were some bumps, which are...

Refilled Canon CLI-42 carts with Precision Inks. I probably missed a step or two, because the outcome is very unsatisfactory. But I am not complaining about the inks. I am sure I missed something due to lack of understanding. The cartridges are Canon CLI-42 (for Pro-100), with a large tank...

Can I use Xerox 6180 MFP 3-party refill toner for a Xerox 6515 WorkCenter. The bottles have not been opened, but are around a couple of years old. I am wondering what the implications are. Is the toner too old. How likely is it that the toner is compatible between two Xerox laser printers...

There are a number of function available from printer maintenance, to print check pages. What I don't know is whether those pages, or in fact other sample print pages posted in this and other forums, exercise all pins/nozzles. The Pro-100 has some 6400 pins/nozzles, and I would like to be able...
