I'll keep this brief as my prolonged absence from the forums has been caused by a lot of work and that's not changing so here goes.
I have a number of Pixma iP4200's (and a couple of other models) which have been modified and/or fitted with CIS kits at some point or other over the last few months to years.
Most have started having problems that are more indicative of ink ageing rather than printhead damage but chances are they will need cleaning up...
I'm offering these to anyone who wants them and can afford to pay for the shipping.
(I'll even ship to the USA if you're really THAT keen!)
If you'd like to make a donation to the Red Cross or similar by way of a contribution then that suits me fine too...
They are located in the UK and won't come in original boxes...
Printers will come with:
- set of empty cartridges (no CLI-8BK's sorry)
- used printhead (not blown up but will require TLC to get working)
- power cable
Models available:
- iP4200's (3 immediately available - 3 more soon)
- MP500 (1 available soon)
Also, I'll be using one of each of these models (ip4200, iP4300, iP5200, iP4500) to take apart and install an external waste ink tank on (so I can document the process). Those units will be sold via the Octoinkjet.co.uk site once I'm done and will include new printheads so if you're after one of those then keep an eye out...
Yeah, I know... rambling email but tired and bleary eyed... still very much alive though... Oh and wife (+ baby to be) are still doing great... 7 weeks to go... Eeek!!
