    Canon i960 print head leak

    Here's what happened. The i960 had been great at not drying out, in spite of very infrequent use. Recently it began to show streaks in the nozzle check and some of the tanks looked empty, so I decided to try a cleaning and refill it with aftermarket ink. This was a 6 color CoYlBod Dye Refill...

    Fade-resistant bulk ink options for XP15000 (what combination)

    Hi all, about two years ago I started refilling my XP15000 with third-party ink (Inktec from eBay, CMYKRGy).
