Is the paper you are going to use coated at all. A quick browse on the internet forums suggest what I was thinking that you may get an amount of bleeding, which may result in a muddy reproduction. Have a look at http://www.inkjetart.com/tips/output_examples.html. And wait to see what other...

Tell me more have an MG8150 and have access to a MG5250.

Thanks, some kids just dumped his bike outside the driveway, think I'll just nip out.................... Only joking :D I will bear the info in mind. I was thinking inner tube from a racing bike, have you seen the size of them, the wheels thumb print can't be much bigger than your own. No...

Yep should have been more specific they are Genuine original Canon carts not third party stuff. I know better than that having read many an entry on this forum. Canon own carts are the ones to choose when using chips, there may be others out there that can be reset, but I am not aware of any. I...

Yep, I know one or two bike shops in the area and there is one where I work, so should be able to get hold of soon. Nice to read it works.

No, I shopped around for a set of new cli526 carts as cheap as poss, so when they are used I will swap the chips.

Thanks Peter BJ I just seen the clips at octoink, after I just got my last order. But I am a Yorkshireman and I like the innertube idea, cheap (free I mean) :) and effective. Now where can I get an old innertube from ....:rolleyes:

When the carts supplied with the printer are empty, follow the link as shown on 'The Hat' link. I have just done that in last couple of weeks, it works. Just take care when cutting the plastic lug and removing/replacing the chip, its a bit fiddly and you need good eyesight, dont know how I...

Thank you for your suggestion.

If you have not got the orange outlet cover, what do you cover with to store for a while? I have two pgi520 carts without outlet covers.

Just bought recently a MG8150 for myself and a MG5250 for the girlfriend, both on good prices/price match from PC World and Currys in the UK. As mentioned elsewhere on this site these models are being upgraded (new number and an alleged increase in output speed I think). So got hold of some...

No longer listed, second one I've seen in last 2 weeks where the price has been excellent but seller has 0 feedback, then item has mysteriously dissappeared. I messaged ebay on the last one and got the usual its not our fault we are only a selling conduit. When I informed ebay that I had told...

You will get some colour shift initially, not major but probably enough for a keen eye. Surprised you have refilled red and green first, these were my last to need topping up. Photo Magenta my first. Might also depend on the paper, never used Canons own, found Ilford Galerie to give me best...

Cheers guys, Knew I'd seen something on here. Thanks

Im sure I read somewhere on here that these carts can be rechipped with a cli 526 chip. Can someone advise if thats true and how to do. Thanks in advance.

Cheers, I had read octoinkjet update and appreciate the issues at this time. There is no mad rush for a reply but any info is of help at this time, so I will follow the link. Thanks for replying.

Kind of answering my own question here. Seems the dye based inks could be compatible although the Cyan may be at question, and the Black is a pigment base. Most seem to have the same code throughout a range of cartride codes before and after the coding used on the MP280. Will wait to see what...

Just picked up one of these multifunctions for 18.00 new for the girlfreind. It uses chromalife 100 inks which appear to be the same as that used by the Pixma Pro 9000 mk2. Does anyone know whether I can refill the mp280's carts with the same image specialist ink I bought from Octoinkjet. I have...

Maybe I am missing the blindingly obvious here, I bought a Pro9000 Mk 2 because it can print up to A3+ photos on a range of printing materials. The ip4500 is an A4 printer. If you only print up to A4 then a pro9000 would be a waste of expenditure, and the difference in print quality would not...

Cheers, I have been reading how to purge and watched one or two you tube vids, but I am unsure how to reseal the hole in the cart after removing the little ball. Can the ball go back in and perhaps be covered by tape as an additional seal, or are there better methods. Please be aware I am in...
