Newbie to Printing
Hi there,
This is my first post in the forum, I usually hang around preview but after following a number of links I found that this forum is very informative when it comes to printing topics.
I have a few questions and I need your help:
Question 1
I have a Canon Pixma ip5000 and been using Hobbicolors inks for the last 3 years. The problem was that over time I had a green cast which was corrected by profiling the printer.
As I am running out of Magenta I was going to buy just this colour and switch to MIS inks. Reading through the forum I hear that the new Hobbicolors UW8 ink is very good or much better than the old version.
What is you experience with Hobbicolors UW8 and MIS inks? Which one is closer to the Canon OEM? Any issue with MIS inks clogging the printer heads? I had no issues with print head clogging with Hobbicolors.
Question 2
Where can I buy virgin BCI6 cartridges? Is it better to keep refilling the Canon OEM cartridges?
Question 3
If I refill the original Canon cartridges does the remaining ink in the sponge affect the new properties of the third party ink?
Thanks for your help
