    Refilling and replacing HP 953 carts and resetting levels

    Hi all, I bought an Officejet Pro 7740 recently and have been pretty happy with it. Now the setup carts are starting to run out I'm ready to start replacing them with pigment-refilled (original HP) 953XLs. But there is contradictory info on the Web. 1. Octopus video states it's essential to...

    Canon (US) Pro-10 and (EU) Pro-10s? Same printer?

    Hi all, Having bought a secondhand Pro-10s here in the UK, I recommended it to a friend in the USA. But he says he can't find a Pro-10s there, only a Pro-10. I then told him the Pro-10 was the previous model and several years old, I'm aware that the Pro-10 to Pro-10s upgrade is something to do...

    Trouble with Canon Pro-10s software downloads and installation

    Hi all, As has been documented here by others, the setup process of the Pro-10s is unbelievably messy and frustrating. However, I've managed most of it. Hooking up to WiFi was fun. It wasn't accepting the WPS signal and even though the blue light came steadily on, there was no connection...

    Refilling HP 7740 A3 pigment printer with 953XL cartridges

    Hi all, It seems HP were in a 2010 lawsuit with the result that they are obliged to allow their printers to function with refilled cartridges. So I went and bought a 7740, which has a useful A3 scanner on board. At £110 after HP cashback, and with a 3-year warranty, it has to be a decent...

    Does anyone have experience of PPD paper?

    Hi all, That's Photo Paper Direct in the UK. They are offering A3+ 280gsm for just over £1 a sheet, that's cheap, but if the prints are going to be rubbish it's not cheap any more. My printer is a Canon Pro-10s, pigment. Thanks for any input. Peter

    Canon Pro-10s refilling InkTec, Octoinkjet, etc

    Hi all, I just bought a used Pro-10s with original Canon PGI-72 carts. There's quite a bit of ink left but I plan to refill with a 3rd party ink rather than buy more Canon cartridges. I've read every thread here about the subject, but some are 6 years old and suppliers/quality/prices change...

    Epson WF-7720 yesterday printed only blue, today carts not recognised...

    Hi all, I bought this WorkForce 11 months ago, so still under guarantee. I don't use it much, although I did think I was using it enough to stop it clogging itself with dried ink, a few times a month. There was a month I was away, but it worked after that. About 4 months ago the so-called...

    HP CP1215 colour alignment issues

    Hi all, I have a pretty old CP1215 which has been several years in dry, temp controlled storage, and I recently got it out thinking it might be useful. Since it had a few new toner cartridges with it, in sealed bags/boxes, I (probably foolishly, I should have sold them perhaps) fitted these. So...

    Epson Workforce inks, use EcoTank inks instead?

    I’ve just bought an Epson WF-7720DTWF for general home printing, but including quite a lot of A3 photos for personal use (as opposed to exhibitions), mostly because it can do A3+ printing and scanning, is cheap, fairly well reviewed and comes with a 3-year Epson on-site guarantee, which I...
