it worked!!.. however, instead of going through with tap water, i was flushing it many times over hot water. Finally, i used a syringe and push water through the ink pad which finally pushed out visible tiny solids from the nozzle. I repeat the syringing until only clear water drips out from the...

so, both hat and mike do not think it has anything to do with burnt head? that's a relief. I will try mike's method 1st as it seemed easier. thanks

Hi, I was busy moving house and did not print on this printer for 2 mths. When I did a nozzle check just now, all colors except matte black were printing perfectly. The entire matte black print area was empty. Ink is fully filled with precision colors, and when i used my finger to push the...

I was wondering, since ARC chips are auto resetted upon lack of power feed from the printer, I wonder if we can solder a circuit onto the chip, add a battery supply strap to the top of the cartridge with a contact switch to cut the power supply and reset the chip as and when we need regardless...

I had this problem recently with my i990. Nothing I do will work until i replaced the printhead. Good as new now. Check with your local canon service center for spare parts. my local CSC has printhead stock for a printer as old as my i990.

darn.. jtool: pmed you. mikl: ordering some stuff from you, pmed you.

jtoolman: any news with the weink pgi-9 resetter?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If this works, i'm ordering from mikl too, though shipping is gonna be crazy. AND, CONGRATS!! not sure if you can call yourself retired with a newborn grandchild to tend to..more like re-tire yourself every 3 hrs for feeding the little one...:lol:

I received a reply from weink, they confirmed that the chip reset tools work for ALL pgi-9 carts. Well let's wait for the actual test from jtool

thnx!!! hoping that it works well and i'll be getting one too!

I'm wondering if the PGI-7/PGI-9 chip resetter sold by weink http://www.weink.com/catalog/canon/0077.htm works for all pgi-9 carts. It looks like the same blue one presented above but this is selling for 69 bucks which is considerably more expensive than the CLI-8 ones we see online?? Is it the...

so what you r saying is that even those arc or one time resettables are also unqiue to their respective color carts? thnx

i was just wondering, can i pop the chip off say a yellow pgi-9 cart and attach it to one of the 2 non resettable pgi carts? will the printer recognise it as the correct cart because it is in the correct slot or will it reject with an error because it is detected as a yellow cart? reason why im...

Hi Hat, what about your blacks you are using now? All I.S? What is the KMP pigment U+220 Black I see in your signature? Also used with 9500? Also, I have a problem getting I.S from where I stay (SINGAPORE). There is no distributor here. Which online shop should I get the ink from? Thanks again!

Hi, I've went through the forum and picked out that the best 3rd party ink to be used for the 9500 comes from Image Specialists. Here's the list from their catalog: PGI-9C : WJ2115 PGI-9G : WJ419 PGI-9GR : WJ1157 PGI-9M : WJ6162 PGI-9MBK : WJ1159 PGI-9PBK : WJ1158 PGI-9PC : WJ2116 PGI-9PM ...
