Searched on ebay and found some. http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Genuine-Empty-Canon-ink-cartridges-CLI-251XL-PGBK-250-PGBK-250XL-CLI-251-/390795570421?pt=US_Empty_Ink_Cartridges&hash=item5afd3b2cf5

I am sure empty virgin Canon XL carts are available at Ebay, no?

Now that would be awesome.

Yes, I meant CLI-251/551. It is too bad these chips are not resettable. Better collect the older Canon then.

Thank you for sharing, much appreciated. Your cli221/225 ICC profile was superior to the one I had custom made for my MG6120. I could have saved some money if I had known that your was so darn accurate for the IS ink. Maybe be a bit off topic but do the new 521 cartridges refillable and...

Thanks. Did ever play with the magenta color setting in the printing preferences to get it just right? I noticed a sight bias/shift towards red. It is especially evident when printing a grayscale test pattern.

Since I posted here two weeks ago I have bought the following printers: IP5200 = ad said never used but it is actually a used one but looks like it has been used very lightly. The two OEM Canon ink tanks were empty and the other near empty. Price was unbelievable bargain at $15.00 MG8220 = Brand...

I really don't care about print speed at all. But clogging issue with a print head that is built into the printer is another story.

Mikling, I avoided Epson because I read a lot of posts about clogging issues with Epson printers for the casual user. What is your experience on this subject as it relates to Epson.

^^^ I have played around with the color setting a lot and printed over 100 pages with different color setting and I can't get it right without affecting one of the other colors. I even tried many ICC profiles I have and none seem to work.

I need to hang around here more often. I never knew the ink colors for the 251/551 were any different from the 221 and 226. The printer came with after market pre-filled cartridges (Sophia global) which, except for a very visible brown cast on a gray scale ramp, it was good. I don't want to...

Wow, even the cheap after market refilled cartridges from china sold by the likes of Ebay, Amazon and Meritline are miles better than this. Had I known this I would have stayed with IS from Precision Colors rather than venturing out for a different flavor. Did I just flashed $50 down the toilet...

Just bought a used MG5320 and ordered some OCP ink. The result has been awful. While the scanned images here are not accurate (In terms of brightness), I hope the images give a bit of information as to give you idea what I am talking about. >>> Nozzle check gives very clean output. No...

Humm...That makes two of us.

Thanks for sharing. This would help a lot of people faced with similar situations.

^^ That is reassuring. Thanks much.

I took some of my purged and stored CLI-226 cartridges(did the purge about 8 months ago, dried them completely before storing them in a plastic zipped bag) and the sponge is dry and hard as a rock. I have already drilled a small hole for the German method. I socked them in a bowl of warm...

Thank you all for your input.

I have started buying and storing Canon printers to serve as replacements if my current Canon printer dies. I just bought 100pcs of used OEM Canon cartridges and I am wondering what would be the best way to store them. From what I have researched, I need to purge the old ink out first, let the...

Thank you, guys. You just converted me to a printer junkie. Given where the newer printers are heading, I will collect any of these printers whenever I can get hold of one. IP4200,4300,4500,4700,6600D,6700D or maybe MP640 or MP620 Just sent an email for the IP4500. Hope the wife won't complain...
