I have done lots of experimentation on my own and have settled on one solution that works only on Canon OEM cartridges. There are two sizes one for the small tanks and another for large tanks. http://www.rjettek.com/Caps/Cap-Orange-for-HP-Canon-Small-Ink-Ports.html

I switched print heads to determine if my spares worked as I support some friend's printers and if they have printing problems, I switch print heads rather than going though an elaborate field cleaning and sometimes futile cleaning process. I developed a cleaning process that does not damage the...

I have the following printers, MP 600, 610, and 830. I got them used from craigslist. Although they initially worked fine, when I was changing printer heads, all the printers died. They will not start with the start button. When I unplug and plug back in, I noticed a small spark, which indicates...

Frankd1 The MP760 is an outstanding printer and of the MP750, 760 & 780 printer family, it has the best capability for scanning. They all use the same inks and print head as the ip4000 printer. Be sure to get the install disks because you can't download all the software needed from Canon. If...

According to their website, inkjetcarts markets bulk ink for the MX7600 and the Pro9500. http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=inkjetcart&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=691585719&Count2=608726143&CategoryID=91&Target=products.asp

When I was in the corporate world in engineering, and we wanted to protect important drawings, we used Krylon #1311. Krylon markets other sprays for various applications. http://www.krylon.com/products/matte_finish/ This might help you. We also used Zipatone clear Plastic Spray, but I can't...

In a similar vein, as many of you know, the new inkjet printers out of Canon (except the all pigment types) are using the PGI-BK220, CLI-221(colors) cartridges. From the threads I have read, the new cartridges are similar to the PGI-5BK, CLI-8(colors), but are shorter. Has anyone tried using...

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Presently I am trying a clear vinyl pressure sensitive tape that is pulled slideways, to make a good seal. I will see if the tape creeps away as time goes on.

I have been given some Canon 3, 6 and 8 cartridges for refilling without the orange bottom plugs. I have been unsuccessful in coming up with an effective way of plugging the cartridge when in a plastic zip lock bag for storage and they leak ink. I have tried a variety of sticky tapes and they...

stisev Do keep in mind that the following printers use the same print head, i860, MP750,760,780, ip4000. If the rest of your printer died, but the head can be cleaned, hang on to it or sell it on ebay.

pharmacist When examining the Canon web site for compatible photo papers for their MX7600 (which uses pigment inks), they reference their same papers as for their dye based printers. That is not encouraging, but they may not expose their prints to the same rigorous tests as you have devised...

Manuchau, Here are some thoughts from my perspective. 1 Keep in mind that the printing head in your i9900 is the same one that is used in the ip8500 and the Pro9000 printers and they are selling on ebay for $88.50. 2 I have an i9900 and it is worth trying to get it to function again. It...

I bought a Brother printer and 3rd party inks for my niece. She is very pleased with the printer. She uses it to print picts of her son and is well experienced in photo printing. Years ago, I used to use Epson printers (and prior to that HP printers) and was unhappy with the fact that they...

I suggest you consider the Brother MFC 240C Color Ink-jet - Fax / copier / printer / scanner. There are other Brother products you might consider as well. You can go to their web site for all the specifications. The important thing is that their cartridges are not chipped and there are plenty of...

The new Canon Pro9500 and MX7600 printers are into Lucia pigment inks, namely PGI-7 and PGI-9. It appears that the PGI-7 Black is a renaming of the PGI-5 Black because they both print at 600 x 600 dpi (5 picoliter), while the PGI-9 print at 4800 x 1200 dpi (2 picoliter). This is a finer particle...

Here are a couple of links about the Epson R260 printer. http://www.alotofthings.com/viartshop/article.php?category_id=10&article_id=483 http://www.alotofthings.com/viartshop/article.php?article_id=813

I have various Pixma printers and have always had the same problem. I tried all the cleaning processes discussed and they did little good. What worked for me is to print two copies of the envelope and stick in an old envelope in first. The smudges occur on the first envelope, but the second...

Pharmacist, I apologize for not being up to date on all of Canon's printer releases. The point of my comment is that according to Canon's specifications, the ip6600d can place ink droplets with a horizontal pitch of 1/9600 inch at minimum with 1 and 5 picoliters droplets. In contrast, the...

Since there is a growing interest of pigment inks with Canon printers, I just noticed a new model Pro9500. This is a very impressive printer and ink system. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=182&modelid=12414
