My wife uses a Canon i960 (six carts) and one of my printers is an ip5000 (four dye based carts, one pigment black). I installed newly refilled dye based carts in my ip5000 several weeks ago and hadn't used it until today. The colors were terrible! Cleaning routines didn't help at all. The...

My ip5000 printer started making black ink streaks on the back of prints yesterday. In addition, a few prints came out with small drops of ink on the face of the prints - about 1.5 to 2 mm. in diameter. I was printing a run of sixty invitations with a graphic that was nearly full coverage of...

Does dry-mount tissue work with microporous oaper inkjet photos? I've been using Three M art spray adhesive to mount photos to a backing of poster board or foam core display boards. Because I have a project that requires exact placment of two photos back to back on backing board with no...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/30/arts/design/wade-guytons-computer-made-works-at-the-whitney.html?ref=carolvogel&_r=0 Check out this article from the Sunday, Sept. 30, NY times Art and Leisure section. Long, but interesting. The printer he uses is certainly not your consumer desktop unit!

Yesterday my trusty ip5000 was printing a 4x6 photo. About half way through the print the remainder of the picture was suddenly and totally without the Magenta ink. First half was beautiful. A nozzle check showed all lines perfect except no magenta for either magenta line. Since the lost...

Check out this link. The ink must have not been OEM! http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/03/the-most-beautiful-truck-crash-ever.php .

I've been blessed to stay with the unchipped BCI cart printers, but I am now on my last few of these "golden oldies." I've been looking on Craig's list for the next generation of printers that use the pgi-5 and cli-8 carts to store away for when my bci-6 printers all die. I just picked up a...

Sorry for the appearance of commercialism here, but I have to pass on a deal I just got for $24 US on a six color, four ounce each ink set (24 oz total) for bci-6 carts from Precision Color, a seller of Image Specialist inks. Usually $40. I emailed to ask if it was for real, and the answer was...

For those or you who have access to a Staples store, I just saw my favorite heavy double sided matte paper on sale at Staples. This is excellent paper for greeting cards or other printing needs requiring heavy stock that will print well on both sides. It is Staples Photo Supreme 8.5x11...

I copied this post from the printer newsgroup. Anyone able to translate from German? From the picture it doesn't appear to require transfer of the chip, and it claims to also monitor ink levels and protect the printhead...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/biz/4175895.html This article appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle and several other papers with the byline from David Koenig of the Associated Press.

I just saw this info on the printer newsgroup and wanted to pass it on. I can't verify that this is a valid approach to dealing with the chipped carts and it would also wipe out other data such as the waste ink pad status, but if anyone who wants to try it and report back it would be valuable...

For anyone looking for a non-chipped Canon printer that uses bci-c carts, I noticed in a J&R ad in today's New York Times the Canon Pixma ip6000D (six color photo printer) for $79.99. It didn't say they were refurbished so I think they may be new and on final closeout. I've read that it is...

After reading Neil Slade's excellent information on inkjet printers, inks, and paper in mid 2004 I purchased an i960 printer and a Computer Friends refill kit (www.cfriends.com). Neil noted that the CF blue plugs in the CF kit for resealing the fill hole were worth buying the kit and the CF...

I use double sided matte paper for greeting cards and had been using Epson Double sided matte for a few years. Last year I tried Staples photo supreme double side matte paper that is heavier than the Epson double side matte and prints beautifully on my i960. Much better feel than the Epson...

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/04/technology/04money.html is the link to the 02/04/06 NY Times article about commercially refilled carts. This was on the front page of the business section. The article touched very briefly on home refilling as well.

I copied part of a posting from the comp.periphs.printers newsgroup for information on this product. If anyone has had experience with it a reply would help others. I did buy the beginning kit as it was worth the price of the carts alone. They have a plastic knurled screw that seals the fill...

Although I do not presently use an Epson printer, there are Epson users who participate on this forum and either need information or have information to post. To start this thread I am copying a post from the comp.periphs.printer newsgroup that looked valuable for our Epson participants...

Sorry to start a new thread, but I couldn't find where this info left off. I have some Canon BCI 6 carts that have been refilled seven or eight times that are not feeding as well as they should. When you do the hot bath trick do you first seal the exit port or do you submerge the cart in water...

Does anyone hve experience with Hobbicolors products? Carts look interesting with a plastic screw to seal the fill hole. I've been very happy with MIS inks refilling OEM carts, but I would like another source of carts rather than having to buy new oem carts to use and then refill. The tiny...
