    Canon Pixma 9000 "An ink tank error has occurred" -- replacing=no help

    Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II, using generic CLI-8 cartridges A couple of days ago, I was printing out about 50 small pages of B&W text at a time.

    Sponge Cleaning - the borderless overprint / ink absorption sponge?

    I've been using a canon 9000 pro mkII for a long time and I print out a ton of 4x6 borderless prints (500+ a week).

    [Printer Recommendation] Mass Printing Borderless B&W 4x6" Text Pages

    I print out around 1000 4x6 index card sized pages a week. The content is borderless (some layout elements "bleed" off the edges), 99% text, and black and white only. No color, no real graphics to speak of. I am currently using a Canon Pixma Pro MK II to do this. Yes, I am using a large format...

    Color Laser Printer Recommendation - Business Use/No Photos/Refillable

    Hi everyone, glad to have found this forum. I read a bunch of threads and searched around but didn't really see a clear cut answer to what may or may not be a pretty simple question. I've been using an inkjet which I refill myself with bulk ink and syringes but between refilling 2x week and...
