After six years and at least 9000 pages, almost all on dirt cheap refill ink and original print head, that day came when my wife turned on the printer, and it would not print. A little superficial troubleshooting on my part showed the problem. #1 the flashing light that on turn on that is...

I have an old canon mp730 printer I had somewhat put out to pasture. I have recently fired it back up, and no matter what I do, when I power it up, I get this message on my LCD screen of a "wrong cartridge". I have pulled and rinsed the printhead, it seems very clean, reinstalled newly...

After some research I concluded to go with a new Canon ip4000 for economy reasons for my wife. My initial strategy was to use the OEM cartridges furnished and then replace those with dirt cheap third party cartridges. After some time on this forum I decided to try refilling my own...

Having bought two hobbicolor refill kits for two printers---with no spare cartridges bought-------I now look to my supply of OEM cartridges and some used bulkinkjetcarts.com to provide one or more replacement sets of cartridges. Step one seems to be to create a new ink inlet hole. I note that...

Like may others I have been attracted to these forums by the excellent advice with a personal stress on printing economy. I had been using prefilled bulk third part Canon cartridges from a reviewed vendor. But recent favorable posts prompted me to try ordering a hobbicolor kit so I could try...

In the past I have found printer reviews by Tom's hardware guide very informative. 12/8/05 post date is a new review---comparing the HP8250 and HP8050 to the Canon ip 4250 and 5250. What I found surprising is how close the HP 8250 came to edging out the two Canons on economy using OEM...

I have to feel that at this present point in time that the Canon bci-3&6 family of cartridges offer the best hope in inkjet economy. For those heavy volume users of ink the economic carrot will justify all kinds of pain, for those not used to the pain of refilling, some sort of ease of refill...

My main criteria in selecting an inkjet printer is economy measured in terms of ink consumable costs. These forums are one of the few sites where one can find quality information from people not marketeers puffing products. While its not a hard and fast rule, all inkjets use ink about equally...

I have been monitoring this site for some time and finally have registered. This is a great informative forum with many great contributors. But I feel somewhat left out and suspect many are in the same class as me. that class of people being defined as............... 1. We have ink jet...
