    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    Ok great. No wonder the squeeze bottles are king. :D Once I get the hang of refilling, I'll jump up to squeeze bottles. Thanks for the links.

    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    Thanks ruffin! My Hobbi colors ink just arrived in the mail, so I can't wait to start refilling my carts. So witht the squeeze bottles, there's no cleaning after each fill as with the syringe fill method correct? And I take it, you just attach the same needles to the squeeze bottles and...

    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    Never having refilled oem carts before, I'll first try it using syringes...then work my way up to squeeze bottles being as I already have a pair of syringes that will work. What's the best way to clean syringes between colors? Or does everyone just purchase X amount of syringes per color...

    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    Again, thanks for the info. Just placed an ink order w/ Hobbicolors. :D Dave seems to be a great guy to work with. Very fast responses to all my questions. This might be a stupid question, but do the ink PGBK520/CLI521 carts have these vent holes to blow into? And if so, where are they? Never...

    Just purchased a Canon MP620B. Photo question.

    Ok, thanks guys. I'll play around w/ that setting and see how close I can get to true borderless prints. I have an Epson R300 photo printer that I've had for years that I still use quite a bit. In default mode, it auto cropped all my photos by at least an 1/8 of an inch if not more. Once I...

    Just purchased a Canon MP620B. Photo question.

    Thanks. The Image Optimizer was Off. However, the color intensity was set to auto, so I changed it to manual and made it a tad darker. I had not seen that option before, so I'll play around with it and see if that helps. Thanks! Question about borderless printing. As default, the printer is...

    Just purchased a Canon MP620B. Photo question.

    Bought a brand new Canon MP620 all in one printer for only $65. Question though, what setting within the printer do I need to play around with to get my photos to print darker. As it is right out of the box, the photos print great...they're just a tad too washed out compared to those photos I...

    German "Durchstich" refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges

    Just picked up a canon pixma MP620...looking forward to trying this refill method when my ink gets low. This might be a stupid question, but is there a preferable choice of refillable ink over another?

    CISS or Refillable Ink Cartridges?? Need Help.

    Thanks! I'm still in the market for a CISS...just have not had much time as of late to get one. Are they any specific 4th gen kits you'd recommend for an Epson R300? The market seems to be flooded all kind of kits available.

    CISS or Refillable Ink Cartridges?? Need Help.

    Msmart, from what you've said above in that very thread, I'd be willing to try their CISS. BTW, you said your R220 died to clogged print head...that was not due to the CISS was it? If so, any ideas what caused it? Oh and looking at superEseller's ebay store, they only offer one Epson CIS...

    CISS or Refillable Ink Cartridges?? Need Help.

    Well, if it's not that complicated, I may still give it a shot. I know I can handle it, it's just my wife that feels unsure about using a CISS. I've seen those ebay kits and wonder about them myself. If a deal is too good to be true it probably is. BTW, how does refilling cartridges work? I...

    CISS or Refillable Ink Cartridges?? Need Help.

    Thanks fish, I'm loving this site thus far. Tons of info. Great, I'll check those out. I failed to mention on Steve's site that my wife prints out photos just as much as I do. Therefore, having a less complicated system (such as refillable cartridges) would probably be the better route for me...

    CISS or Refillable Ink Cartridges?? Need Help.

    I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I did search, but either the threads were outdated (links no longer any good) or the info was related to Canon printers... I had no idea CIS systems even existed. Had I not stumbled across Steve's Digicams Forums when searching google for an...
