Buy American like Hobbicolors or Formulabs.

I wouldn't use any other cart besides Canon made ones. Then refill with good ink like Hobbicolor.

Make sure to print photos using the top feeder and not the bottom feeder. The u-turn at the bottom can cause problems.

What refill ink is available for these new carts? Looking for quality refill ink...

The recommended way to unclog print head is to run deep cleaning once or twice and then leave the printer for 24-48 hours and hope the wet ink will break down the dried ink in the nozzle. This is the slow safe method.

http://www.posteriza.com Found a freeware poster maker...not quite as slick as Pro Poster but it is Vista capable so it doesn't turn off the theme like pro poster would.

1. The Canon website has the specs for all the models. 2. Hobbicolors sold on eBay is good. Also Formulabs sold here: http://www.alotofthings.com/viartshop/products.php?category_id=2

Don't do any of those things...simply leave the printer plugged in and turned on and you shouldn't have any problems with clogging. I've gone 6 months without printing and still printed a photograph flawlessly. I assume you guys are using good ink like Canon's or Hobbicolors.

The HP D7560 is looking pretty good suddenly since Canon is getting so greedy.

The Canon scanners will recognize the Canon printer and allow you to print right to it if I recall rightly.

The old canons were so nice. Just fill it up and it would show full again.

The carts are smaller: 9ml vs 13ml and 19ml vs 26ml I don't think it has much to do with cleaning cycles.

I somewhat fixed proposter, I had to use compatibility mode to turn off the vista features. I hate the vista theme being turned off though.

Looking for recommendations for poster software the two I have tried don't work well under vista, (Pro poster and Poster 7).

I bought a MP160 just for the scanner and have gone 6 months without printing anything and then printed a few documents and it works fine. I also leave it plugged in and turned on as well, don't have to wait around for the initial start up stuff to occur.

You really need to use GOOD quality refill ink like Hobbicolors or inktec. Just buying carts or cheap ink without a little research isn't a good idea.

The bottom plate cleaning really should clean it up but maybe you have been doing a lot of borderless pictures and it has over sprayed ink all over. This is the option:

I found a MP160 for $19.99 and bought it on a whim. It gets used for those times when a simple copy is needed. The space issue is the main reason all in ones are so popular and I understand that.
