I have just bought one of these from a garage sale along wth a couple of spare cartridges and some A3 photopaper. (all for 10!). It looks little used but I cannot get the magenta head clear. It prints very little on the nozzle check utility. I have carried out the clean function four times with...

I don't know if this is the correct forum for this but my wife has just bought a laptop and we need a wireless printer server for her to use imy Canon IP4500 printer. Will any of the multitude of devices out there do or are there specifics I need to take into consideration?

I wish to print out some notelets with pictures of my local church on the front for our upcoming church fair. Folded A5 card with a borderless photo on the front and a brief description on the rear. I have produced what I need using Adobe Illustrator but cannot get a totally borderless print. I...

I've got the ip4500 printing duplex from a pdf file but can't get it to duplex when I am scanning documents on a scanner. I set the page setup for duplex printing but get each scan on a different page. Any ideas if it's possible to do this? I'm using an Epson Perfection 2400 from within the...

My mother-in-law has a MP210 which she has run with compatible cartridges so far. Having just started refilling my Canon I was wondering if I could do the same for her printer. So the questions are: 1. Can I use the (IS) ink for my IP4500 in her CL-41 and PG-40 cartridges. 2. If so can the...

I refilled my PGI-5 cartridge recently and noticed that the onscreen ink monitor is still showing a full cartridge even though it is (visually) 3/4 full. The cartridge is the original Canon and was reset with the Redsetter. Is this unusual?

Is it best to store refill ink in a fridge to maintain it's shelf life? Does anyone know the shelf life of IS ink?

I've just done my first fillup of a printer cartridge ever. Used the German method which went very well - apart from breaking off the 0.8mm drill I used to drill the hole in the cartridge! My low ink warning came up this morning and I found the black pigment ink resevoir empty although there was...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the difference between the quality settings 1 and 2 for the IP4500? Seems you can only get a '1' with the Photo Paper Pro selected.

I have just obtained some once used empty Canon cartridges to refill with Precisioncolors ink. Flushing methods seem to involve drilling a hole in the top of the resevoir to let the flushing medium out then sealing it again with hotmelt. Refilling then by the German method. If I have to drill a...

I have just got my IP4500, found 12 empty original Canon cartridges on ebay (for 1 UK pound!) and am now researching refill inks. From what I have read on this forum the following seem popular; 1. Hobbicolors...available from ebay and they ship to the UK. Richer colours so would probably need...

I have just taken delivery of an IP4500 which was bought as a 'new' unit which had had the cartridges installed by the seller for testing to see if it worked. I was told it was bought as part of a package and was not needed as the seller had a printer already. The printer looks unused apart from...

I've just bought a Canon IP4500 and am looking for peoples experiences with photo paper, especially budget papers. Do I stick to Canon paper? Is own brand supermarket paper any good? I plan to use non OEM inks (advice need on this also!) not sure which yet. I'm in the UK. I'm trying to short...

I shall shortly be receiving an IP4500 printer. What is the most compatible ink/cartridge that closest matches the Canon original for colour photos? I have no problem refilling cartridges but don't want to get lots of ink and find it gives poor colour rendition. I'll also need a resetter of course.

I'm trying to get hold of an IP4500 but they are a bit difficult to find. Will I notice the difference between prints from this and the IP3500 (which I can find). Print sizes of 7 * 5 and 8 * 10.

My Epson printer has just died and I'm looking for a replacement. I want to go Canon and I see the IP3600 has good reviews and at about my budget. I need a general all round printer with occasional photo use (8 * 10s). I note this printer has smaller cartridges and also only OEM ones are...
