Hello all. As my subject line states I have those two printers - one takes dye ink and the other pigment. I had used Hobbi Colors a while back for the Canon. It's time to buy some bulk refills so I am curious if Hobbi Colors is still a good choice and if they do pigment ink. IF still good for...

You have helped immensely. Just a couple more thoughts if you don't mind ... Has the printer changed that much (print quality/workmanship/etc.) from the 725 to the 810? This way I can have some hope that the pluses you have enjoyed I should enjoy. I have read a lot of consumer remarks about...

I am thinking of purchasing a printer to replace my current one that is pretty worn out. I was looking at the Artisan 810 model. I can get it at several places even though it seems to be discontinued. I was also looking at it because I wanted to attach a CISS to it and it appears this model is...

I have an Epson NX415 printer and purchased a CISS system from a vendor on ebay. The unit is a 'no name' unit but seems to be built fairly well - flexible silicon(?) tubing, resettable chips (they work) and installed fairly easily. It has been working fairly well considering I had been removing...

Hello all. I purchased an Epson NX415 printer and have attached a CISS system to it. I also am bypassing the internal waste ink by adding a piece of tubing and allowing it to drain into a bottle on the floor. This all appears to be working just fine so far. I am printing a LOT so I am sure at...

Hello all. I have a large but simple printing job to do so I got an Epson NX415 AIO. Can anyone recommend a supplier that I can get 4 refillable ink cartridges with auto resetting chips and PIGMENT ink to go with it? I am not doing graphics - text printing only.Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello all. I am currently using a Canon MP830 AIO to print an informational flier that I am placing on doors. Due to the humidity and me sweating (FLORIDA) the color print starts to run a tad. I contacted the ink supplier (Hobbycolors) and they informed me that Canon as well as many other mfgrs...

Received the above code. Reading other posts is seemed to be dealing with the purge unit. I found it wasn't cycling o.k. (wiper in white plastic wouldn't extend all the way or retract) and found one of the 'pads' had fallen out of the rubber holder. CLeaned the unit and the pad. Worked by hand...

Other than directly from Canon what other companies do you order or buy your parts from? Thanks..

Just got the 6A00 error msg related to the purge unit. After disassembling the unit I found one of the pads (long rectangular one) was missing from its' rubber holder. Found it - cleaned both pads and working parts of the unit - then reassembled. Question 1: when the purge unit 'runs' normally...

I posted earlier that my resetter was only giving me one blip and then nothing and the ink cartridges were being rejected. It turns out that the battery (button cell 3v) was weak. Replaced it and it worked as it had always worked in the past. The cartridges inserted were once again read and...

Recently acquired an MP830 and after printing out the eeprom and service pages I had the following questions: Waste ink is showing at 005.0 which I am assuming is 5% is this a correct assumption? I assume that's good if the TOTAL number before a waste ink pad change out is 90% or 100% ...

I am running the Redsetter (red model) and when I originally bought it, when I reset an ink cartridge (CLI-8, etc.) it would make one quick flash then it would stay lit. Now I only get the one single flash and NO steady light. It still seems to be resetting the chips as the cartridges are being...

Due to several answers received on this forum as a result of another post, I have concentrated my efforts to obtain an MP830. While new in a box would have been nice I have tracked down several used ones. In researching this model I have run across several units that had the 6500 and several...

Hello all and Happy Holidays. I currently have a Canon MP530 all-in-one unit. It uses the Cli8 and the Pgi5 ink cartridges of which I have the resetter tool. I have the option of purchasing a 'spare' new MP530 so I know the ink cartridges it uses and have plus the resetter tool will still be of...

Hello all.. I have a Canon MP530 which uses the CLI8 and PGI5 (black cartridge) cartridges. I bought the resetter from Germany and the small ink refill kit that came with it. So far it has worked flawlessly and the ink has worked just fine. However, given the 'currency conversion' and the...

Hello all. I have a Lexmark all in one 6170 that is on borrowed time. The one thing that I disliked the most was the cost of the Lexmark cartridges. I came across the Canon Pixma MP530 at the local Best Buy. It uses 5 tanks that seemed to lessen the cost of operation as I would only have to...
