    Hi, I am onto my 2nd CISS and Printer combo. My original config was the Canon MP780 with CISS and 12 months ago I upgraded to the Artisan 837 as it was recommended by the CISS dealer due to the cartridges not moving and only the head tracking back and forth. For some reason I cant print...

    Is there a recommended way to clean your CIS chamber/tanks?

    I've had my Canon MP780 for years now and i am due for new inks this week. I have noticed that the CIS chambers (made from perspex i believe) are coated and I no longer can easily see the level of ink inside. Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you clean your tanks? Thanks

    Hi, I previously have been able to reset my low ink display (not error) on my Canon MP780. (This is the same internals as the Pixma IP4000) The LCD display shows a graphical (indicative) representation of how much in is remaining. I presume that it does this by calculating the number of...

    Printing with a couple of empty carts? Can damage really be done?

    My Canon MP780 (which uses the same cartridges and heads as the Pixma IP4000) has supposedly 2 empty carts now. I am curious, if i continue to print could i be damaging the print heads of the empty colours? What about if i am only printing in greyscale and not using the colour mode? I know...
