My ip4800 series printer is showing a usb005 error with the message "An error has occured check the display on the printer" Obviously there is no display on these printers so I can't find an answer to the error code. I have removed and replaced ink carts and printhead and turned printer on and...

Going back to the days of ip 3000/4000 printting and the disaster of a print head failing. It seemed a real disaster at the time. Now it seems like an everyday problem. Print heads fail. It's just an everyday problem. Some printers go on and on whilst some print heads fail by just being turned...

I'm just an old time junkie cartridge filler. Not really into AIO printers. I have a dedicated scanner for this. My love of Canon printers began with the Canon IP4000. What a printer, and since then I have only been interested in Canon printers which have refillable cartridges. I have had the...

Has the world gone mad. UK Ebay prices for pre owned Canon printers are advertised at up to 3 times original price when new. Does anyone pay these prices? Still lots of opportunities for refilling current Canon printers. Just have to forgo auto ink levels. As the world gone mad or these Ebay...

The glory days when the ip4000 was king. I'm still avoiding having to use original canon carts and although the days of resetters seem to be over. Still there remains refillable carts. Not the same but at least there is an alternative to the ridiculous prices of of OEM ink. I still have an...

I used to use the German refillable method for refilling OEM carts but nowadays the only option seems to be refillable ARC carts. However, the refillable carts at first sight don't seem to be able to accept the same amount of ink as the OEM carts did with the German filling method. I top fill...

Haven't posted in a while but still love this forum. So many tips I have picked up over the years. Have tried Brother and Epson printers over the years but Canon rules for me. IP4000, what a printer. Mega carts with no chips. Then the IP4500 was released with full carts but with a chip, soon...

This printer is now discontinued in the UK. Just seen a second hand printer selling for £75 on Ebay UK. Similar auctions are up to £100 or more. The IP7250 is a piece of plastic junk but this printer was a gem in offering photo quality prints at such a cheap price. Now the ip7250 is no more and...

Most of us on here must have saved perhaps thousands of £ or $ by refilling. First we had the IP300/4000 with no chips. Then we took advantage of chip resetters or refillable ink cartridges, perhaps ending with the IP7250/MG printers. Now we have a load of TS printers with no ARC chips or...

Would like some feedback on Canon A3 Printers. I'm not a pro photographer but have been using Canon printers way back to the ip3000 and before. Courted with Epson and Brother but Canon is my home. Pro series would be overkill for my needs. Tried a Brother A3 printer but output was...

Strange problem with my trusty old IP4500. Carts are showing as full even after heavy printing. Have been using ARC carts but switched back to OEM carts with red setter and ink monitoring doesn't show any decrease in ink levels after printing. I've never come across this before. Not a great...

This printer is a complete plastic junk compared to the Ip4500 but it offers the same quality outputs as the ip4500. Non OEM and refillable carts are readilly available so ink refilling lives on. I am still using refillable arc carts on my ip7250 with no problems and still refilling my ip4500...

Just keeping up to date with Epson and now Canon printers with these tanks. Crazy prices and unless you go for the top of the range models you don't get WIFI or duplex printing. The old ip4000 did everything that these printers do, other than WIFI at a fraction of the price. Refilling with...

I posted, several months ago that I had started using these arc carts in my IP7250 and IP4500 printers. The IP7250 was a no brainer because there isn't any other alternative that I'm aware of, other than buying already refilled carts. The IP4500, so far, has been a revelation. No blockages or...

I've been refilling carts since the days of the IP4000 and have used the "German" method to refill OEM carts and saved upteen amounts of cash, so I've no real complaints about the refilling method I have used. However, during this time I have "lost" several print heads, mainly due to clogging...

Canon Easy Photo print no longer recognises my IP 4500 in Win 10. Been using it up to the Creators Edition. I've a brand new IP 4500 in storage but looks like I've been wasting my time. If Canon don't get you, Microsoft will. Don't let the B--------- grind you down. Keep refilling or at least...

I'm new to Brother printers, having purchased a couple of DCP-J4120DW printers on Ebay. I've used Canon printers for several years and have been used to refilling carts and re-setting them. I've been using refillable cartridges in the Brother printers (no sponges, like Canon) However, I still...

Does anyone have any details about which printer manufacturer sells the most inkjet printers? Canon seems to have the most threads on this forum but is this replicated in sales? Canon rules as far as I'm concerned but I always thought that Epson outsold Canon. Am I right? Or does Canon rule in...

This can be done on Canon printers but you lose ink monitoring but it allows you to continue to be able to refill carts without resetting the chip. Is it possible on Brother printers?

I have been using OCP CLI-8 ink for all my Canon printers (IP4500s, MG6200s & IP7250) for some time with no problems. Thought I'd price up OCP CLI-551 ink to see how it works with my IP7250. What a shock I got. Price per ltr is twice the price of CLi-8 ink and more surprisingly, C,M and Y each...
