    MG8120 or MP990?

    which is irrelevant unless you have a Canon HD camera If you did need this feature, the mg6120 has it for $130 The black gloss finish on my MG6120 is not gonna last long. The touch sensor buttons are cool though If I planned it better or found this site before I made my purchase, I would have...

    any pics of the rumored opaque CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520 carts ???

    my conversation with ebay reseller below, pics he had in description showed a sealed canon box with no image of carts on front: certainly doesn't confirm anything and I just can't help but contribute to a good solid conspiracy theory. :hide Maybe Ron from Reliable Copier service is in on...

    looking for a new printer, hoping to refill (eventually)

    I just purchased a gray 221 cartridge from office max last night (southern california) It was a single cartridge but was still the old style with clear reservoir. The picture on the outside of the box showed the clear set/release tab. I bought two sets of 221 clear reservoir carts off of ebay...

    HP Everyday Photo Paper- dust/debris all over straight out of the box!

    Anyone have any issues with 3 Star HP Everyday Photo Paper?? The ink won't set in certain spots. Looks like dust settling in the ink. I figured there can't be that much dust inside the new printer. Maybe the ink is wet as its coming off and dust settling there. Nope, thats not it... I check a...

    The Lamogio method . Maybe works with 226/526...

    Efficient is certainly a relative term in this instance- I see an aluminum cnc'ed jig built to secure the cartridge. It would have a preset hole in the front for proper needle alignment (german method) and fences on the two sides where material would be removed with a specific dremel bit (or...

    The Lamogio method . Maybe works with 226/526...

    The purpose of this experiment is to prove canon can not stop people from putting their heads together to find efficient ways to bypass any anti refill measure they can implement At least thats how i see it! I would pay more for a factory printer with a relible oem designed refillable or...

    I'm looking at my CLI 226 Black cartridge -- And I'm looking back at this post outlining the German refill method: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4315 And I'm realizing that the window on the bottom of the CLI 226 is clearly transparent and exactly the same as CLI 221.and...

    Pharmacist: I have a vintage bicycle generator light that was made in East Germany under the regime-- It is constructed and designed excellent and functions perfect to this day I certainly agree with what you say-- consider BSA and Triumph motorcycles in the late sixties early seventies...

    The Lamogio method . Maybe works with 226/526...

    I love the carnage! Does anyone have the ability to lay out an approximate estimate of where the needle should enter into the front of the cartridge and where it would have a clean shot to the reservoir? (german method) the sides of the cartridge are very true- they could be milled slightly...

    How do people refill the canon cli-225 & cli-226 ink cartridges?

    Hey ghwells, I went to Damien high school in La Verne-- I had a question for anyone familiar with the German method- are the cartridges built in such a way that you can accurately designate a spot by which the needle would be able to make clean pass into the reservoir? Is the sweet spot the...

    How do people refill the canon cli-225 & cli-226 ink cartridges?

    It seems in recent cli 221 production runs, canon has switched to opaque cartridges exactly the same as CLI 226 with a different chip and label. Avoiding the 226 and opting for 221 based printer would be ok until the supply of older clear 221 cartridges is exhausted. The switch to opaque 221...

    How do people refill the canon cli-225 & cli-226 ink cartridges?

    Thanks for the lead- much appreciated One last question, I read a few threads on flushing when refilling OEM cartridge (recently emptied but still saturated with original Canon ink) with compatible aftermarket ink, should there be any concerns other than a slight color variation if I forgo the...
