You need to get printer profiling software, it will control the output according to the inks you are using. Using a monitor profile won't change what's being printed. There are sites on the web that will build a profile according to your paper and ink combination. I use Profile Prism to build...

I use it in my Canon cartridges to keep bacteria from from growing in them. I have no idea if adding alcohol to any dye ink will smooth the flow out.

I had a problem with bacterial growth in all my color cartridges. The growth ruined print heads on my I9900, i950 and ip4000. What happened is the bacteria not only grew in my cartridges it also grew in the print head reservoir (between the intake and the jets. That cost me a lot to replace...

I've flushed out some of my BCI-6 cartridges and have a clean white sponges. If you use the lighter color tanks such as the PM, PC, R, G and yellow they will flush out white. I use hot water to flush the cartridges out, it takes about 4 or 5 flushes to get them clean.

That subject has been discussed before awhile back. As far as I know the BCI3e and the BCI3ebk have the same ink as the BCI6 cartridges. I used to get both and used them both in my i9900, i950 and ip4000. I didn't see any difference in the print outs on glossy photo paper. I can't say for...

You could contact Hobbycolors he still sells BCI-6 and BCI-3e cartridges with ink. He would probably sell cartridges separately. http://myworld.ebay.com/kbay2002 Use the contact member and ask. I have never had any flow problems with any of his cartridges. I had to replace my Canon OEM...

On Canon printers that have pigmented black cartridges use the ink when you use the plain paper setting. Paper settings other than plain paper will mix the color ink to make black, which causes the black to have a green tint.

I'm not sure if you can prevent bacteria from growing in your cartridges or in your head. I had a problem with certain inks that grew bacteria in the cartridges and in the head between the inlet screen and the jet ports. Here is a link to my previous post...

I found that refilling OEM BCI-3eBk Pigmented ink black cartridges can only be done once or twice. I think the pigment in the ink clogs the sponge and you will end up with ink flow problems after the second or third refill. I ended up getting new BCI-3eBk cartridges from Hobbicolors and their...

I've used Hobbiecolors for years and had no problems. I used to have problems with the OEM 3eBK pigmented ink cartridge, the ink wouldn't flow properly after a couple of fillings. The Hobby Color cartridge has been refilled about 5 times without ink starvation. Here is a link to ink page...

Hobbicolors has a complete refill kit including cartridges. I've used it for years on my iP4000 and haven't had a problem yet. http://tinyurl.com/yawoffv

Some of the Canon printers will not reset with the print head in the printer. Remove the ink cartridges, then the print head and try the reset procedure again. Just replacing the waste ink pad won't reset the error message. Replacing the Waste ink pad requires you to take the printer apart...

I got 3 different print heads from Canon. Just call Canon Support, they will direct you to the right department to order print heads. I discovered they are for the most part cheaper than the online sellers. Canon Parts Phone number: 1-800-828-4040

FYI Hobbycolors is still selling BCI-6 non chipped cartridges in the in a refill kit. He may still the blank cartridges separately. You might e-mail him to see if he will make a custom order with the BCI-6 cartridges. Here is a link to his e-bay web page, you can send him a message from...

The link I submitted earlier, bid has expired. You might want to check out all the products he has on sale(Hobby Colors). I didn't get a warning about spyware you probably have your security level set too high. Link to seller: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/kbay2002

If you need the ink and blank cartridges try this link: http://tinyurl.com/mdp99w You could also send an e-mail to see if you can get cartridges separately.

I ordered a print head for my Canon i9900, the box stated it was for the i9900, i9950 and the Pro 9000.

The cartridge levels won't reset until you get the low ink warning and you replace it with a full one. The ink levels don't have anything to do with the problem you are experiencing.

Hobby Colors just relisted their refill kit for the printers that use 5 ink cartridges, ip4000 and others. The 3eBK and the 6 cmyk cartridges. The kit includes the inks and new unfilled cartridge. Here is a Link to order: http://tinyurl.com/pxak6f

It's supposed to be able to read/write to a memory stick and have two way communication with a printer. I haven't use anything on the port yet so I can't report any results. You should pose the quesion to the folks at D-Link.
