    I was not charged duty on my order that arrived 3 weeks ago, however Dave at hobbicolors does a very good job of declaring the cost on the customs slip at $31.95. Sometimes it can be the luck of the draw :-( Delivery will take about a week and will arrive by royal mail once its left the customs...

    I wonder if there is any information on the part number for the canon chip or a spec sheet for it, just to see what the handling precautions are.

    Experiencing more problems with Canon CLI-8 yellow cartridges

    Food for thought, The black cart that I have and is un-resettable was one supplied with the printer, the yellow carts I had that where faulty where new ones, not ones that have been in service and refilled and reset, on the face of those facts I have experianced, it seems like the chip is the...

    Needle supply ( UK )

    stratman, I really can not be bothered being drawn into a debate about what needles are the best as every one has their own views on the matter and it is a person choice, in my case it was a matter of what was easy to find.
