Following the unfortunate demise of my Pixma MP760 in spite of valliant efforts of the THE HAT I have now obtained an ex demo MP620. It appears brand new and has a full set of inks. Also provided was a perfect nozzle check and a Canon photographic test print.
Some items are similar but hope to explore its wireless options shortly. NO paper manuals of any kind and the downloaded user manual runs to 812 pages. Obviously I am going to find refilling a lot more difficult than my previous BCI-6 carts, plus the chips. So will need a resetter. I also have some of my old BCI Octoink ink left . Only a smidgeon of pigment black but a full bottle of Photo Black. Would it be O.K to use up this old ink ?
Next will be refilling method, I have the necessary equipment for all 3 methods. i.e. TOPFILL/DURTSTITCH/FREEDOM with this more demanding CLI-521 carts. what do other members prefer?
I was thinking of buying 1 set of compatibles when the first refill is needed. The idea being that it would give me time to refine my technique. I was thinking of trying the Freedom method first so as not to drill the case in any way. I most say the low cost of compatibles surprises me if you only used them the once. Compared to buying bulk ink, resetter,spare carts. plus P&P. The main drawback is knowing the quality of the ink, and whether it is going to harm your printer.
Anyway any suggestions welcomed
