Well I got all 24 carts filled and plugged. :) It seems to be taking a little bit longer on some carts vs others to become evenly saturated through the sponge though.

I had some ink from precision colors for my mg5320 that started turning to globs. However the bottle had been open long before the expiration date and didn't start turning to goo till a year after. I'm so glad I have a pro-100 now refilling is much better and I don't see myself having stored ink...

You're the man! Thanks Joe.

Alright Joe, I flushed all 21 of them. Man my fingers are sore from pulling that plunger.:sick However, there was a bit ink still in the cart right past the port that takes a hell of a lot Windex to get out. I didn't really have enough of it to get all the ink out and do all the carts. Do you...

From the start :D. Of course I have the clips on. Maybe that's the problem. Edit: Yep keeping the clip on was causing the problem. Sometimes I'm not so bright. o_O

Hey Joe, So I flushed 7 of the carts. I'm rather surprised how easily the Windex removed the ink from the sponge. Anyhow I couldn't get all the color out via the Windex flush. The color seems trapped in the maze and on the opposite side of the cart making a L shape of color ink. I ran 60ml of...

Those carts were so young with there whole lives ahead of them. :mourn:

Wow. The living legend answering my question. Thanks Joe! I love your youtube channel. I guess I have 24 carts to flush :celebrate

So I bought a set of 3 used pro-100 carts :D unfortunately they seemed to have been used quite a while ago ;( They have a layering on the sponge where the top 60% is lighter than the bottom 40%. The color is also not uniformed but dots of dark along with lighter color ink. Knowing that the...

If I get a pro-100 should I get the 2 year squaretrade plan for 32 dollars?

How so? The pro 100 is $300 dollars.

I'd like to get something that is of comparable quality and with the ability to refill ink. Are the MG6820 or MG7720 any good?

I was pretty psyched about this too till I looked at the specs. I too also noticed the lack of distinct black dye. I thought maybe the big black reservoir is dye but it's still pigment. It also prints at half the dpi of my MG5320. A couple thousand fewer nozzles to for what that is worth and my...

A while back I found a Pixma MG5220 at a thrift store that a bought for a few bucks. I took out the cartridges and print head and just left it in my closet. I'm looking to clear out some space so I intend to ditch the 5220 but I wanted to know if there is anything else in it that might be usable...

Well I ordered the Verbatim AquaAce glossy printables and the end results were quite stellar. Much more impressive then the printing on must commercially pressed DVDs. Again, Thanks for the help :thumbsup

Thanks for the advice.

Hi all, I recently bought a pack of RiData InkJet Hub Printables (DRD-4716-RDIW50N2) (www.meritline.com/ritek-ridata-16x-dvd-r-white-inkjet-hub-printable---p-18395.aspx) to use with my printer and the results were far from good. The printed disc appears to be cover in tiny bubbles and it looks...

Hi Guys, After recently purchasing a couple sets of empty 221/220s I took a look at the thread on purging, but still ended up with a couple of questions. One, seeing as the cartridge around the sponge is opaque how can I tell if the sponge has been shifted. Two, is it absolutely required to...

Thanks guys. I'm glad to know there's a solution to the problem. I think I'll go ahead and switch out carts for the refilling convenience. Though I'm sure it would still be a good idea to weigh them when they're full.

Hey all, I'm currently having a problem with my cyan cli-226 cart. I refill my carts by calculating weight but with my cyan cart I can't refill up to the stock weight of 20.3g. Instead I'm only reaching 17.9g before it starts overfilling. It may be the same volume but of course it's not the...
