    Canon MX870(Refurbished) $56 Shipped - ink carts alone run $60

    Is there any chance of these going back in stock because I know for Canon refurb lenses they tend to go in and out. I would really like to get more older printers that are similar to the ones I already have.

    Vinyl Sticker Paper...is it worth it?

    So I finally had the chance of testing the vinyl paper I mentioned in my first post and I was surprised. Printed a few decals and stuck it on my snowboard without any protection and it held up after days in the mountain. I will try the clear paper next time.

    Help determining problem. Nozzle Check Streak.

    So as I was looking for this plastic strip I realized that the printer was dirty, so I decided to clean everything and although the timing strip had some ink splashes on in so did all the near by parts. So after I cleaned everything the printer produces a clean Nozzle check! Thank you so much!
