    Refillable Carts for PGI-5 and CLI-8 with ARC (review)

    I did a quick search and did not find anything about these so I am posting a review. After years of refilling BCI-3e and BCI-6 carts, my desktop printer died and I moved to a printer that uses the PGI-5 and CLI-8 carts. I had been using G&G cats (from meritline) because I can get them for...

    Meritline ...BCI-6 cartridges...are they all G&G?

    No one asnwered me, so I took the plunge and ordered them.....YES THEY ARE G&G. All of the ones that they shipped were G&G, either single pack or mutiple pack. Very happy with the price and G&G is one of the better compatables from what I have read. I have used them some (minimally) and have...

    Hobbicolor questions

    I was doing some web sufing, and stumbled upon this discussion on dpreview (perhaps already known to many of you) about inks and fading. After some testing Renard seems to have identified (from characteristics, color, and fading properties) some of the manufacturers of some inks. Unfortunately...

    Used Canon i860 - storage suggestions

    I was out bargin hunting at the garage sales yesterday, and purchased a used Canon i860. I actually purchased it from my next door neighbor for $5.00 (don't you love garage sales!).

    Cartridge clip for refilling Canon BCI-6

    Steve, Yes! Thank you, that's it! Do they work well for storage? Have you used them to hold the cartridge during refilling, and do they work well? I am currently using the orange clips, which I attach with rubber bands - it works but it is a bit tedious.

    Cartridge clip for refilling Canon BCI-6

    I had a link for a cartridge clip for Canon cartridges that could be used for storage and refilling. It was actually a clear plastic box that the cartriadge snapped into and had that clear, spongy rubbery stuff (sylastic? silicone?) to seal the outlet hole. Someone had even posted a photo of it...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    My understanding of Inez' hesitancy on refilling has more to do with potentially harming the printer by refilling than an actual inability to do the mechanicals of refilling. I understand that she is a little hesitant to refill if there are economical after market cartridges readily available...

    Kodak Ultima Photo Paper

    I checked out another OD nearby and found the Utima line on discount there as well (for 4.01 per package). The newer line beside it was "Ultra", so I guess that Kodak is changing the name of this type of paper. So far, I have seen it for sale only at OD. DRC - thanks for the advice. I may pick...

    Music Image, Have you tried Hobbicolors? They have very quick response to emails, and I think they will ship to NZ. You can contact support from their website at www.hobicolors.com, "contact us". Their website needs to be revamped, but I can personally say that their service is next to the...
