A nozzle check page should be sufficient, as it tests each ink without overusing one ink or another. You also get the added benefit of making sure all your nozzles are working. I tried the same thing with some test images, but found I was consuming my photo cyan and magenta twice as fast...

Check to see if your printer has a 'custom' paper size. I have the 9000 MKII, and it's max custom paper size is 14in x 26.61in ( 355.5mm x 676.0mm) Hopefully your 9500II has the same capability. One of these days, I'll hack my PPD to see if I print something longer. I would LOVE to be able...

if they were my printers, and I could only keep one... I'd call canon support and see if the print head for either has been discontinued. That's what did it for me, my i960 finally gave it up, and since the print head was discontinued, I had to buy a new printer. (I didn't have 2 to start with)...

I do plan on resetting the chips, I'm just waiting for my supplies to arrive. As for the sealing ball not sealing, by making sure the screw is dead center in the ball, and it's tip goes past the halfway mark, I've never had a problem with leaky tanks. As for sponges not working after a while...

The screw eyes stick up 3/8 of an inch. The picture of the CLI-8 tanks is from my 9000 Mark II. There is an inch of clearance from the tops of the tanks on each side of the printer. Plenty of room for the screws, or even a continuous ink system. How much room do you have? If you put some tiny...

Some of you may have seen a link to a pdf of this method that I developed way back when... I'm posting this with some additional notes on my experiences.... I've refilled BCI6, BCI3, and will soon be refilling my CLI8 tanks. Enjoy Heres an easy way to refill your Canon ink tanks over and...

WOW, That's still floating around! Yup that's me David.

whoops,.... almost finished with putting together a new post.... then came back here to check something... I'll do a search, and see if there's anything different than what I've come up with. The method that I'm posting is one I developed the day I got my first first refill kit for my old...

I'll start a new post with pics on how I use a screw IN the nylon ball, and it's without drilling a hole. Dave

When I refill with the tank in the print head, I pull the screw out, fill with the syringe, and stuff the screw back in. takes all of about 3-4 seconds. In those few seconds, the sponge is trying to soak up ink so none of it flushes through. If I'm going to be printing a large run, I'll pull...

Interesting method, but I've been using a top fill method for years. The trick is to put a screw in the existing nylon ball. It makes it very easy to fill the tank while it's still in the printer. Dave
