    Refill megatanks

    Can the bottles that refill a G6020 or other megatank printers be refilled with my old canon ink. Or is it just easier to buy the standard canon refills.

    Want a great printer deal??

    If you need a good deal on a printer here in the USA check this out.. It even includes free shipping.

    My way for flushing cartridges Top fill or German Fill.

    Ive been refilling for several years now but had no experience flushing carts. I believe flushing can be best done thru the ball hole. Here is what Ive been doing lately. 1. Remove tape that covers ball just enough to expose ball. Use a razor knife to cut out a circle. The remaining tape is...
