Can the carts for this printer be refilled? Thanks! Wil

Canon Pro-100, Precision Color ink and profile for Kirkland Tulip paper Most know that when all is well with your printer, the final quality of the print is the result of good monitor and paper profiles. It is impossible to predict the quality of the print unless you have a monitor that has...

Pharmacist’s solution is: -3 % propylene glycol -20 % isopropyl alcohol/ethanol -distilled water up to 100 % I found propylene glycol at a “compounding pharmacy.” In South Carolina these are pharmacies that mix (compound) drugs and medicines in special ways for special needs. By the way, the...

CLI-42 Purging Since I replaced the Pro-100 CLI-42 yellow cart with the purged CLI-8 from Precision Colors, the CLI-42 is of little value since its chip is gone. That being the case I decided to experiment with purging the CLI-42. I use the German method of refilling and many have reported...

I have used the German method with syringes for a long time with both a Pro 9000 II and my current Pro 100. I find the method to be vastly superior to the top fill method because it is so fast and clean and no drips or spills. Some have reported problems with this method, either at first or at...

I have been keeping s spreadsheet about the ink usage of the Pro-100. The table doesn't format well on this forum so I have uploaded the file as a PDF if you desire to see it. The results are quite impressive. There is a total of 4416 sq. in. of color area and includes 43-8.5 x 11 sheets and...

I have about 40 prints hanging in my house on Kirkland (Costco) Professional Glossy paper. Precision Colors has a profile for that paper and the Pro-100. The paper doesn't seem as glossy as some others I have seen. Maybe that's what "Professional" in the name means. If you can use glossy...

I have just received this printer and will share my experiences with this printer. The Canon Pro9000 using OCP ink has been my photo printer for some time. I make profiles for all my photo printers, and the Pro9000 with custom profiles for selected paper and OCP ink has produced the best...

I will receive my Canon Pro-100 tomorrow, and the issue of third party ink is at hand. Precision Colors is the only source I can find for Pro-100 third party ink. I have been using OCP in my Canon Pro9000, but OCP says that they dont have ink for the Pro-100, and it isnt on their list to do...

Canon Pro 9000, OEM carts, OCP ink. This printer has been fantastic for a long time. I havent printed with it for some time, and it has just developed a problem. This printer has never had any problems of any kind. This is a sudden development. After refilling the carts, some of the cart...

Canon Pro 9000 Mk II OCP Ink German Refil Method Canon Orig. Carts. I did not print to this printer from June till Dec. 22. Refilled the carts before running a nozzle check. It turned out fine. Made full sized prints with absolutely no problems. I was expecting a bad nozzle check and a time...

After gaining some valuable basic information from this forum about refilling Canon CLI-8 cartridges I have spent some weeks, a lot of paper, and ink making tests to determine how I will proceed in this refilling world. My refilling experience comes from the BCI-6 days, top filling with third...

Here are two screen shots of my updated Excel Spread Sheet that shows the total (almost) cost of printing photographs. As in the past the ink usage for the Canon Pro9000 II comes from the research done and published by Red River they do good work. This update includes HobbiColors and Mis ink...

I have been making printer/paper/ink profiles for a few years with few surprises, but I got a very large surprise with OCP ink and Red River Arctic Satin paper. As most know, one makes a test print for the profiling hardware to read. Because an ink jet print seems to cure for a while after...

As requested, the spread sheet has been modified to include using CostCo Signature paper and OCP ink. It is interesting to me that the cost savings with the CostCo paper reduces as the print size gets larger. Unless the CostCo paper does as good as the Red River, I'll stay with the Red River...

Below is a part of an Excel Spread Sheet showing the total printing cost from three sources. All the comparisons used the current price of Red River Arctic Pro Satin. 1. The B & H price of Canon OEM ink was used because it is the best price I can find. The OCP price of 16 once bottles was...

Introduction Let me begin by thanking all of you on this forum for all your information, advice and help. This is truly a great resource for all refilling problems. I have had a lot of experience with refilling Canon BCI-6 carts for a Canon i9900, but none with CLI-8 carts with chips. My...

Trying to use the German method of refilling, I discouver that I need needles at least 2" long. Does anyone know a source for them. Thanks, Wil

I've had great success in filling BCI-6 carts for a Canon i9900 printer. After I purchased a Canon Pro9000 MK II with CLI-8 carts, I looked for refill options. The chip on the CLI-8 generated a lot of problems. I had great success with BCI-6 carts and Media Street Plug and Play ink...

I have refilled Canon BCI carts for years with great success. Now I have a Canon Pro9000 MK II with CLi8 carts and the world seems to have changed. I had great success with the BCI carts and Media Street inks and blank carts. Ink2Image has taken over from them and since they have blank carts...
