    CLI-8 cyan problem

    I have been refilling my Canon MP830 by German method for several years alternating between two sets of Canon cartridges and using a resetter. I have just had my second cyan cartridge apparantly go bad. It resets, but after istalling, printer tells me that there are more than one cyan cartridge...

    Canon MX850

    FYI - Canon eStore has refurbished MX850 all-in-one for $129.99 which I think is a good deal. Ordered one as backup for my MP830.

    Canon ip5200

    A local store just put for sale a few Canon ip5200 printers for $179.00. I don't know much about it except that it takes the 5 and 8 cartridges like the ip4200, 4500, MP830, etc. Is the 5200 a decent buy at that price? I have a refurb 4200 as a spare, but the way things are going I don't mind...

    Epson 1900

    New Epson 1900 is $399.99 at the Epson site. I would consider this printer if refillable or a reliable CIS kit is available. Anyone with experience with this printer?

    Canon 3600/4600

    Canon's new series of printers ip3600/4600 use the PGI-220 and CLI-221 cartridges. Although cheaper, they probably have a new chip - so we start all over for resetting? I think that I will buy a spare MP830 (or 850), or a 4500 befor they disappear.

    Which Printer?

    I have gone from HP to Canon printers and between my son and myself have the following: 3000, 6000, 9900, MP830. Print quality on my old HP's was very good with InkTec refill inks (56, 57, 96, 97 cartridges). Went to Hobbicolors - photos are fine but text is not nearly as sharp as the HP...

    Fading

    I purchased Kirkland paper (4x6 and 8.5x11) from Costco after reading many others using the paper. I am alarmed at how quickly the photos fade, presumably from UV as the partially covered areas were less affected. I have been using InkTec inks with no clogging issues and have had good results...

    Hp 45

    I have been refilling my old printer which uses HP 45 and 23 carts using normal syringe and a priming tool. I have seen posts describing filling through the head and thereby eliminating the need to prime because of the lack of air in the printhead. Can I use my priming tool to fill the cart by...
