    G&G/Ninestar inks

    I have had absolutely dreadful experience lately with G&G cartridges for my ip4600. At least 50% of the carts fail long before their time, and they are very poor in regards to refilling and continuing to work. I will not buy any more G&G brand, or LD brand- which appear to be coming out of the...

    A day of futility...End of life failure???

    I am finding that keeping my ip4600 running for a long length of time is nearly impossible, especially with aftermarket carts and refilled carts. Something has changed in the way these printers draw ink- and they are not the same as my old ip3000 or ip4000- which worked well for a long time...

    EMPTY REFILLABLE CARTS and Canon ip4600

    MIS INKSUPPLY.com EMPTY REFILLABLE CARTS and Canon ip4600 This is a no go. Also, refilling stock carts is so so, and the procedure fails sooner than I expect. Tried with all colors, and had multiple failures, even after replacing with new empty MIS carts after the first batch failed. Not...

    Never work for me

    "..My problems with Canons however have been very high.." exactly, as I said: >I suggest passing on all of them, at least in regards to any Canon models. Been there, failed. Will not try again There may be systems for Epsons that pass muster, but it is imperitive that you do exacting...

    Never work for me

    I've tried several systems the best I could get was that they would work for a couple of months, and then nothing I could do would get them to perform well again. I suggest passing on all of them, at least in regards to any Canon models. Been there, failed. Will not try again and I had SIX...

    G&G 3e black cart problem

    ? Let's see if I've got this straight-- you are putting MIS dye ink in the 3eBK cart and it works, basically--- but not as good as the pigment ink. My guess looking at the ip3000 and 4000 and newer generation printers is that they have a separate set of nozzles just for the pigment black, and...

    G&G 3e black cart problem

    Thanks for your update on the pigment versus dye cost-- yes, at the gallon level, the pigment cost is greater. But you are the first person in YEARS who has even mentioned to me that he orders ink by the gallon. I make this abundantly clear on my site, I recommend bargain pre-filled carts for...

    G&G 3e black cart problem

    I think people want to see GOOD LOOKING PRINTS. And anyone A/Bing the dye ink text pages next to pigment ink test pages will see the difference without any problem at all. Its READILY and EASILY apparent if you compare. You CAN use dye ink and the standard 6BCI cart in a printer like the s900...

    G&G 3e black cart problem

    Dye ink (as probably put in these carts erroneously by G&G- although I am waiting to hear from them)- will work. But it works POORLY. I've run multiple tests in both the ip3000 and ip4000, and there is a significant degradation of the definition of the printing on regular paper using the carts...

    G&G 3e black cart problem

    I've been using G&G ink for years, and it's been my evaluation that it is the best third party ink in pre-filled carts. Please see my site for a total evaluation versus bulk inks and Canon OEM http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/inktest.html HOWEVER-- I have recently noted a problem with ONLY ONE...

    G&G carts for Canon!!!

    Yes, this is correct- Inkgrabber exclusively sells G&G for Canon, and they are extremely reliable with competitive prices-- that's why I send people there without hesitation I've tested lots of ink- for most person's regular printing needs, this is clearly the best choice among all the...

    G&G carts for Canon!!!

    PS Plain paper, even at a high setting, will never approach the quality of matte photo or photo gloss paper. You may always see a little bit of banding (depends on how hard you look) on plain paper-- this is because the printer can't lay down enough ink on plain paper to "connect the dots"...

    G&G carts for Canon!!!

    Try the alcohol soak with DENATURED ALCOHOL-- iso-alcohol is 70% water, denatured (from the hardware store) is pure alcohol-- but don't use anything stronger, and don't soak for more than 5 minutes), the hot water rinse then for 2 out of the tap. This should get rid of any residual banding...

    G&G carts for Canon!!!

    Please see my site http://www.neilslade.com/papers/inkjetstuff.html And READ EVERYTHING. Canon printers rarely fail because of mechanical failure or electrontic failure. The most common problem is cart failure, or a printer head clog. Neither is lethal. If I've said this once, I've said it...
