Canon IP4500 to give away. I had replaced it because one of the color channels quit working and no amount of cleaning would bring it back. Free to anyone who needs parts but buyers pays shipping. I'm in Canada but willing to ship anywhere provided tracking is used.

Hi everyone, I had not used my R2000 printer in a while. Started using it again last week. Made some beautiful prints from my trip to Europe last year. When my cartridges hit "empty", I removed them, filled them and reset the chips (these are battery powered carts from Precision Colors). Half...

Hi everyone, I know this has been discussed before in the forum, but a reminder is always useful. I got my first head clog on an Epson R2000 printer. I try one clean + nozzle check... worse... another one... worse again! I decide not to run a third clean. I turn it off and let it sit...

Hi everyone. I wanted to experiment a bit using pigment inks but I don't want to take the plunge right away on an expensive printer. I was wondering if anyone had a used six color epson (R200,R220,R260 or even wide like 1400) they would be willing to part with on the cheap? I had a 1280 at some...

Last December, Ben Goran posted a perl script for linux in the ArgyllCMS mailing list. It's used to analyse the actual colors used in an image and then see how it compares to the image's profile (sRGB/AdobeRGB) and the printer profile. Once it's done it's thing, it creates an image specific ICC...

Hello, I have a Canon Pixma IP4500 for sale. It's a Canadian printer, so it includes the CD tray. I bought it 7 years ago and has only seen moderate usage. It was always used with refilled OEM carts. It still somewhat works. Not all photo black nozzles are firing. I've moved on after finding a...

Hi everyone, I don't see many threads on the Epson Workforce Pro printers. I was able to find a pretty good deal on a WP-4090 printer. 55 $CDN which is about 50$ USD. My Canon IP4500 has seen better days. I don't print CDs and photos much anymore so I figured "mehhh why not". I love that the...

Staples now sell the Canon Pro 100 for 299$ (200$ off). I guess Canon saw too many people buying it in the states :)

Hi everyone, I made a custom ICC profile for another member here. Before we started he mentioned that the black ink cartridge might be giving black levels that are way "too black" compared to the OEM ink. Nozzle checks were all good, and there are no feed issues/leaks. His printer settings were...

Hi everyone, I recently had an interesting discussion with TheHat regarding what types of paper he uses for photos and other material and one of the hints he gave me was to look in the direction of papers destined to the digital printing business. Where I live these types of paper are extremely...

They seem to have pretty good deals (they claim 50% off), and I think someone here might have mentioned them before. A lot of stuff seems to be sold out, but some nice items are left. I won't be ordering there myself because their shipping prices to Canada are a bit outrageous. Could be...

HI everyone, I don't know if this type of post is acceptable or not, if so, the mods can't remove the thread no hard feelings. My wife had a MFC-5890CN brother printer. The printed died very early out of waranty (none of the nozzle fire correctly except black.. sometimes). I have a set of inks...

Hello, I needed a wide format printer so that my wife could print from AutoCAD. Nothing she will give clients, more like drafts for herself. Previously, she used a Brother MFC-5890CN, but it didn't last very long, none of the nozzles are firing anymore. I found a used Epson 1280. It's a very old...

Hello everyone, a friend of mine recently got a HP D2560 printer. It uses HP 60 and 60XL cartridges. He knows I refill my printer carts, so he asked me how it could be done with his printer. Easy enough, rip the stickers on top of the cart, the refill holes are there.. so far so good. (the...

I was looking for a way to do scheduled nozzle checks on my printers. (every 3 days for me) I know MIS autoprint exists, but it sends a purge page without actually telling me the nozzles are clean. I've found a way!!! The trick is to capture the data sent to the printer for a nozzle check, and...

Hi everyone, I got a NX100 all-in-one free with another purchase. It's still in the box for now, I'm not sure if I'll actually use it or give it away. I'm a little confused about the cartridges... it came with T088 pigment carts. Google tells me it could also be used with T069 dye-based carts...

Hello everyone, I just got an IP4500 to replace my old Epson R220 (keeps clogging, cd tray doesn't feed, etc etc)... It's still in the box until I run out of ink on the epson. I've found two sets of empty OEM carts on Ebay.. I've been reading up on refilling those for the last 2 days, and I'll...

Hello everyone, I purchased a CIS kit recently but i'm not quite ready to install it (my carts won't be empty before a week or two). It's a pre-filled kit... how long can I wait to install it? If I wait that long, will it clog or anything? Another queston, the kit simply states to install it...
