I can understand those results. I finally wore out my vernerable MX870 and replaced it with a G7020. I am quite disappointed. The print quality is OK albeit slow, and there is no dye black. But the biggest issue is the user experience is terrible. There's not even a backlight on the miniscule...

I don't know that 5 minutes was required. But by the time I set it aside, pierced the next one, refilled it and got back to the first one, 5 minutes or so had passed. Are you sure that the "compatible" cartridges are the ones for your regional area? As I said in the original post, "If you are...

Update: Apparently Canon has changed the 220/221 cartridges so they are completely opaque, making it difficult to refill via the Durchstich method. However, Staples is offering "re-manufactured" cartridges -- original Canon carts refilled with their own housebrand ink. The new design opaque...

Ok, first of all I need to say that nothing below is new information. I gleaned everything from this site (well, mostly this site) over the last day of reading and following threads. This is just a summation for other new MX870 (or MX860 -- basically the same printer) owners to find with Google...

Long story, but after an extended power failure, I got an error code (6A00) that led me to disassemble the printer and free up the wiper mechanism of the purge unit by dissolving the dried gunge bunging things up. On reassembly, I had problems printing colours -- never a problem with the large...
