Thanking you in advance for your help. I'm having a stubborn printhead problem and I'm stumped. The nozzle check printout prints the pigment black area incorrectly. Everything else prints fine. The grid looking bars at the top of the nozzle check printout print with some missing grids near...

Text is showing signs of what seems to be a clog. With settings on "plain paper" and "fast print", text is very light and even lighter on about every 5th line. However, with settings on "matte paper" and "standard" or "high" the text prints beautifully. I have cleaned the printhead. I've...

I said I'd scream to the rooftops on my first Canon 220/221 cart refills and today was the day. I did my first refill and it was so fun!!! Can't believe how easy it is. These squeasyfill bottles and caps in the Octoinkjet refill kit are a breeze. So easy and clean. websnail Sorry to be such...

For all you master refillers I know this is a very basic question, but I am about to place into storage 2 printers; an HP C4180 and a Canon ip1600. They both use the double cart system, one being a tri-color. Both have quite a bit of ink left in them. Since the printheads are in the carts...

Just purchased 30 virgin OEM carts from Ebay and they seem to be in very usable condition with the ball still in tact. I've flushed and wick dried 12 of them with 18 to go. After reading some posts on a dried sponge possibly starving the printhead of needed ink moisture and the problems that...

While I've refilled an HP 98 & 95 cart, I've not yet refilled a cart in my MP990 printer with 220/221 carts. I did like irvweiner's idea for a toothpick dip stick method to refill and wanted to run this by ink refiller masters to be sure it makes sense. I've read a lot here and I want to make...

Have I understood correctly that you reset before you refill? Also, some YouTube videos show a reset procedure when the light on the cartridge inside the printer is blinking (showing that the cartridge is low or out of ink). I'm assuming that resetting the cartridge then will stop the blinking...

If anyone has info on this or knows where on this forum I can find the proper way to flush a MP990 printhead, I would be grateful. I need to know how to properly secure the cartridges so they won't leak while I'm flushing the printhead. Do I need to purchase clips for the 220/221 carts? Or...

If anyone has info on purging, flushing, drying the 220/221 carts, or where on this forum I can find it I would be most grateful. I've read other threads on this subject for other carts, but not these.

I've installed (one) of my 2 new MP990's and so far so good. I am going to refill and I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation on their favorite chip resetter. I see they can be battery operated or usb type. What chip resetter do you use for this machine? What is your...

Being new to all this, I do have some questions about ink. I just purchased a MP990 Canon all-in-one printer and have no idea which type of ink it uses or which type of ink I should purchase to refill the carts. Does it come with pigmented inks or dye based? And, when I purchase refill ink...

Is there an inkjet printer that you would recommend that can print higher quality photos that the cartridges can be refilled? And, which refill kit do you recommend for really good quality printing? I just successfully refilled my cartridges for my HP C4180 and used Inktec refill kits. What is...
