    Hi again, I'm helping a friend who is considering a cheap AIO printer, either: - MP-237 which uses PG-810 & CL811 (I think in US it's PG-210 & CL211) - MG-2270 which uses PG-740, CL-741 (I think in US it's PG-240 & CL-241) (I'm in Asia btw) Both are the same price. The printer would likely...

    HP printer question

    I'm helping a friend who wants to buy HP OfficeJet 5600 series. This printer is using HP27 Black (or HP56 High Capacity) & HP22 Color. I'm not familiar with HP refill protection scheme. How does HP actually implement refill protection on this printer ? With chip? On the ink cartridge or...

    Inktec bulk-ink question

    Does anyone know if Inktec really has different ink formulation for different types of Canon dye-printers ? When I look at the cross reference table, they have different reference number for different Canon printers, although they are all dye-inks. Is it just marketing? or are they really...

    Keeping printer safely

    This is kinda embarasshing for me, but I have 2 units of IP3500 as spares, while still using my old i865. I got the 2nd IP3500 a real deal, that's why I got 2 units now. Suddenly last week my i865 logicboard got screwed. No sparepart, and I got an offer to trade-in to IP4500 with $40 price...

    New Canon IP3600-4600 still refillable ?

    Does anyone know if these 2 new printers are still refillable ? Can it be forced to resume printing like before (like IP3500/4500) ? If they completely block the printer now, I'd better run to the shop now to buy another IP3500 for backup.

In nozzle test, all the lines are printed (no missing lines), but some lines are shifted above the...

    HP cartridge ink capacity

    I know this is more like Canon printer forum, but I shoot anyway. I'm reviewing some models from HP & Canon, but I'm a little confused with HP cartridge information. According to HP, some cartridge (tri-color) like HP22 only has 5ml ink. Is this per color or total capacity for 3 colors ...

    Does anyone know for sure if Canon IP3500 or IP4500 can be refilled ? I've tried to search everywhere, incl this forum, but I got very minimal info on these new printers. Even if there is, somehow I don't find it quite convincing or there is not enough info on them. Can these new printers be...

    I have used Canon i865 (i860 in US) for almost 2 years, and I have always had a strange problem of moving printhead while changing cartrdige. I've had this problem since I bought it, but I never thought of complaining to Canon because it doesn't always do this all the time. So, I thought it...
