I got an HP 7525 for free off the neighbor's trash pile. Clogged print head. 30 hours of patient soaking and it's working fine. I just happen to have plenty of 564 cart refill ink from my days of using the CISS with my now-dead HP C309a. So I have no money invested in the 7525 but I've got...

Yes, monochrome is what I'm looking for. And actually I won't be refilling myself - I'm hoping "easy to refill" means inexpensive on ebay. Thanks for the tip. I'll go by Office Depot and take a look. Cheers, Keith

Thanks for looking. My freshman daughter wants a laser printer for her room to save her the hassle of walking across the campus to the computer lab. While I'm all for her getting exercise, I understand the hassle. I don't care so much about the upfront cost but reliability and operating...

ThrillaMo, I'm having the same problem with my C309a with the CISS (although I don't know if it's the same color that's clogging). I'm sure you're familiar with it since you've commented on that thread. Practically every time I go to print something with color I have to run a cleaning cycle...

Don't know if the OP is still monitoring this thread - The HP 78 cartridge has an air-bleed on each of the three colors. I've not looked at one in a while so this is from memory - from what I can recall, there's a hole on the top of each color section and this hole appears to be filled in with...

You're probably right but it seems to be working now and I've got the printer shoved against the wall on the right. I'd have to rearrange my computer nook to make a change.

For the most part my experience is good but there have been some rocky times. I've found that it's a good idea to print something with a fair amount of color at least weekly to keep the ink from drying in the print head. Also, if I go too long without printing, air bubbles will begin to appear...

I followed the directions in the last post in this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/HP-C309a-full-solution-software-won-t-see-printer-in-Windows-7/m-p/178032/highlight/true I'd also add that after installing, you may want to remove the shortcut "HP Digital...

Ha! I think you're right. You posted a few replies to my "review" of this printer so you know my history with it. From day one I was planning to get a CIS. I'm actually pretty good at refilling carts but I hate!hate!hate! having to do it. Course, the CIS brings along its own set of...

I've got the HP Photosmart Premium that reviewed here: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4715 I'm still using the ink from inkproducts.com and Costco/Kirkland branded photopaper. I'm very, very happy with the photo print quality - but not so happy with the picture fading. I'm...

Thanks for the suggestions. After reading a few other threads on the CISS subject I decided to slightly raise the tanks. Right now they are sitting on two "Post-It Notes" pads . . . I think that's somewhere around an inch of lift. The print head is still above the weep hole. So far this...

About a year ago I posted my experience with the CISS I got for my HP C309a here: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4715 For the most part I've had good luck with this but since my son moved out and went to college the amount of regular printing has dropped. Consequently, air...

Since this last post I started to get some printer error messages. I think I found the cause - the feeder tube for the ink had come out of the little "T" shaped holder and it was blocking the full movement of the print head. Since correcting that I've not had any problems with it feeding...

Ignoring shipping charges, my cost for the ink was about 12.5 cents per ml (this kit also included the syringes which I've elected to ignore in my calculations). A Google search indicates that the color ink in cartridges costs about $1.50 per ml and the black ink in cartridges is about $1.14...

I had a CIS on an Epson 320 and I currently have a CIS on an HP c309a. I LOVE the CISs - I HATE refilling cartridges! You can read about my experience with the HP here: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4715 I spent years refilling cartridges and I'm good at it, but after...

Thanks for the reply!:) Good suggestion, I'll take that into consideration.

Apple is apparently giving away the subject printer with a student purchase of a MacBook - my son just got one. He's about to leave for college and I'm probably going to get a CIS for this printer to save him the cartridge expense. But I seem to recall reading on this site that the Canons are...

Update: First Refill After using the printer a fair amount for around six months, it was time for a refill of the CIS. I got the $45 refill kit from the same vendor that I purchased the CIS from. The instructions were straightforward and well written. The refilling was very easy and I got...

I must admit that I don't monitor this forum much, but since when is this paper being discontinued?

I have the c309a with the CIS from www.inkproducts.com and you can see my review here: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4715 I'm extremely happy with the printer and the CIS. I've been using Costco branded paper and I'm happy with the prints but I suspect the Hp paper...
