I ran across this link to fixing a printing problem with this Canon laser printer. It shows good pictures of what's inside the printer and shows a fix to a problem with partial page printing. I don't own a laser printer, but thought the link might be helpful to someone who needs to...

The comments recommending the use of genuine Canon GI-26 ink to refill the Maxify line of printers are scattered in various threads, but I think that is the current recommendation of the gang here for refilling PGI-1200 and PGI-1500 cartridges, right? Although obviously available on Amazon...

I have an MB 2120 that's about 23 months old. I leave it turned on all of the time. It's winter here so it's unusual to have thunder storms, but we had one. It was at night and wasn't severe and our power wasn't out as far as I can tell. In the morning when I came down the lights were off on...

I've read some of the refilling threads here on the Maxify series and have been watching the Youtube videos. I ran across this one where the person punctures a hole in the rear of the cartridge to refill it and then reseals it with hot melt glue rather than using vacuum from a syringe as...

Is anybody using the Maxify Compatible PGI-1200 Cartridges from Precision Colors? Are you satisfied? Are there other good choices/suppliers for PGI-1200 refillable cartridges and inks in N. America? I see Inkproducts.com has some good videos on refilling these cartridges, but he's got a...

I've been refilling Canon printers since the days of black only cartridges. The Canons had been reliable but the last three I've had (bought because they print directly to CD/DVD) have each clogged fatally about a year after switching to refill ink. The most recent two were using Precision...

I actually have multiple questions. The first is refillability - note - this would be a US based purchase. I see that someone else had a US purchased Epson that took 410 cartridges and aftermarket refillables were not compatible with his printer - his was an XP-630 and the thread is here...

CLI 270/271 refillables from Precision Colors and less than a year old. The printer is a TS9020. The problems started a few months ago with the Magenta cartridge not being recognized after refilling. Despite getting an error message when inserting the Magenta cartridge I could turn the printer...

We all know that it's a bad idea to let the ink completely run out before refilling, but at least in the set of ARC 250/251 cartridges I had, you had to let the printer tell you the cartridge was empty before they would reset. I didn't like them for this reason. My impression is that as a...

I've been refilling for years - way back to the black only Canon printers, but this is my first time refilling and resetting the opaque Canon OEM 270-271 cartridges. I bought my inks from Precision Colors and I noted that the 270-271 cartridges use the same ink as the 250-251 cartridges. The...

I have an MG5220 that I want to use for direct CD printing. I needed to reset the region to something other than the USA. I first tried Europe - still no direct CD printing; it spit the tray out. I tried setting the region to Japan, not thinking about the language. Unfortunately now I'm...

I print primarily documents and only occasionally a photo. I print a fair number of CDs. Ability to refill cartridges is a must. I've been using Canons for at least 15 years, but I'm open to other possibilities if another brand is a better choice. Absolute requirements: Refillable...

Based on some bad personal experience, I'm getting the impression that within the last 4 or 5 years Canon has designed their print heads to last a relatively short time, after which that failure disables the entire machine. Did I just have bad luck, or are you guys getting limited usage out of...

I've been a long time Canon user, but the last printer died in just under 4 years. Someone in the Canon forum suggested I look at Epsons because of the reliability of the piezo print heads. Here are the features I want: It must have easily refillable ink cartridges. (i.e. Canons are easy, HP...

My Pixma MP610 all in one died - got the fatal wrong print head error message after which the switch won't turn the printer on. Nuts. Here are the things I'm mulling over. The new one must have refillable cartridges. I'd like to make use of the stock of CLI-8 cartridges and resetter I have...

My i860 just died - the magic smoke came out. Sniff. I'm pretty set on Canon since my experience with them over the years has been good compared to Epsons and HPs, and I've been refilling their cartridges for over 10 years. Major requirement - ability to refill the cartridges easily, and the...

Neither of my two cyan BCI-6 cartridges will print any more. One is an original Canon for my i860 and the other is a generic cartridge - -probably from Atlantic Ink. I followed Grandad's purge procedure and then purged the printhead with water also. The other colors are working although...
