PGI9 first refill.

[rodbam]

I've just done my first refill with the pro9500 PGI9 cartridges. I bought a complete empty set & every cartridge filled without any mess & was a lot quicker than I thought by using the dribble method.
The carts took a steady stream of ink until they were full, I didn't experience any noticeable slow down in absorption as the cartridge was near full so this method should be called the stream method because it was a lot faster than the word dribble implies a.
I now have to put them in the printer & profile the IS inks to my different papers but I need to put me feet up rest before doing that
Thanks for all the PGI9 posts we had this past while it made filling these carts easier than my CLI8 & CLI6s. I'm a happy chappy.

Hello Happy Chappy,

You're into the serious stuff now. You need to change your signature description.

We are all suffering sub-zero temperatures here, now tell me your basking in 30C and make me really jealous.

Regards Emu

It's only 29C today Emu so that should help make you feel better

Hi Rod

I'm happy for you!

Incidentally, I see someone has kindly listed Pro9000 and Pro9500 service manual sources among others. I have downloaded the Pro9000 PDF at

and it looks OK.

Thanks Emu, I've just downloaded them.

Please note that these manuals are for the first versions of the printers, not the Mark II versions. I would not dare using service mode operations from a wrong edition of the manual.
