From the pictures on the ebay listing, I am pretty sure these carts are made by Skyhorse. I've been using this brand on my previous Epson printer (R220) with great results. Sure, you won't get as accurate colors as when refilling OEM with Image Specialists ink, but still way better than G&G and...

I always had great results with Precision Colors (Image Specialists) ink bought from Mikling, a member of this forum, on both my Epson and Canon printers. Plus, I am now using his prefilled cartridges for my Artisan 800 and they are very good so far. No ink flow problems at all! I know he sells...

From my experience, you can get a better out-of-the-box color rendition (similar to OEM) form Image Specialists ink than from Hobbicolors. I don't know who makes Hobbicolors ink, but it is way too off for my taste. I know that profiling can correct that problem, but I like to have a good quality...

I recently got the amazing Epson Artisan 800 for a bargain price and I must say that I really like it so far. This means the IP4500 has to go (lack of space)... unfortunately. The damn thing is working like new (check the recent nozzle check below and the EEPROM printout) and I always refilled...

Another question for Mikling. How compatible is the Kirkland paper with the Artisan series? And how about when using your IS ink for refilling?

I decided to go on with the Artisan 800. I have read a lot of reports from people saying that Epson sent them a replacement printer without too much question when their Artisan failed. As the warranty is quite long for an inkjet (2 years), I am feeling pretty covered. Who knows, I might end up...

Thanks for the input! Did you ever experience any feed problem with either the 700 or the 710? Based on your experience, is the 710 better than the 700. How did the 700 failed?

So Mikling, are you considering this deal to be a good one? From what you know, is the paper feed mecanism on the 810 is any different than the 800?

Thanks guys! I guess I'll wait for the 810 to go on sale... For those who are indeed interested in the Artisan 800, you can get it for 100$ CAN at Bestbuy.ca (online only). The deal is ending on april 15.

I spotted a really nice deal to get the epson Artisan 800 for 100$. I already have the great Canon IP4500 which is running like a charm, but I am really tempted by this Epson as I need a scanner and would prefer an AIO over a printer + a scanner... My questions are: - Is it true that the...

Yupkime, Yes, I was referring to the orange cap for the outlet hole. Didn't know that electrical was strong enough to make a proper seal. Will sure have to try that next time. Grandad35, Thanks for the suggestion! I may be ordering a couple of those to see how they perform.

I just found this recycling company in Canada who sells Canon Cli-8 empties: http://www.greentec.com/Default.aspx. Ready for purging and filling and only 1.50$ each. Does anyone know of a source to buy sealing caps, similar to the OEM ones or just as effective? Thanks!

You can get the TrueStar cartridges from Abacus : http://private.abacus24-7.com/Canon-PIXMA-iP4500.htm. There is also this guy on ebay selling remanufactured Canon OEM carts filled with OCP ink : http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/Ink-It-Up-4-Less-LLC. Those should be just as good as the TrueStar ones...

I second the suggestion about IS ink from mikling. Pretty good ink and great prices. I currently use it in my IP4500 with great success! But I didn't know about IS when I had my R220. Back then, I used to buy supplies from Ink.manufactory (http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/ink-manufactory) at a great...

After an unsuccessfull ebay transaction trying to get a Canon resetter from a HK supplier, I decided I should check the local market. I found this resetter from a Canadian online seller which I used to get blank inkjet printable cd-r from : https://www.blankmedia.ca/proddetail3.asp?id=1484...

I once bought a refill kit from their ebay store for my Epson R220 and was not satisfied at all by the quality. I asked many times who was the manufacturer of the ink. Even if they've never clearly mention it, I thought I was getting Image Specialists ink (thay gave many hints leading to that...

The Source by Circuit City (in Canada) have the IP4500 advertised for 79,96$ in Clearance. I called my local shop (in Montral) and they told me that it was the floor model at that price. Might still worth the 80 bucks if you didn't have the chance to get the IP4500 when it was more widely...

Don't know about all the stores you mentionned, but my supplier for the past year has been ink.manufactory (ebay seller). They resell Skyhorse products at a pretty good price and I am more than happy with color accuracy and product quality. I never had a clog on my Epson R220 since then. Colors...

After trying both of these brands in Canon and Epson printers (IP3000, IP4000, R220), I must say MMC is way better in terms of color accuracy. I always got that greenish tint and those wrong skintones using G&G. Sure, if you can calibrate everything, G&G will be fine, but MMC is better out of...

Hi Gary, I understand how canons can be frustrating when they stop to print in the great way they did when new. I had a couple of canons from the i and ip series and had problems with all of them when trying to use compatible carts. I find that they prefer refilled canon OEM carts. Anyway, this...
