Hey'a everyone,
I've been reading your forums, and I have to say it struck me how nice you all seem! So who's acting, cos you can't all be THAT nice....lol.
Anyway, being totally new to this, I have some questions. Please use layman's speak, as I wont understand the terminology else...
Ok, firstly, I have a Canon Pixma ip4000.
For this particular printer, which is better (more economical), CIS or refilling?
I have read about Hobbicolor's fantastic service (and reputation), and if it works out as cheaper than I may be able to get in NZ (including postage, exchange rate, etc) then I'll have a go with them. If I do, which kit would I need? (Have looked on ebay for the available kits).
Aproximately how many times can a cartridge be refilled before the cartridge itself starts to deteriorate and become unfillable?
What is an OEM cartridge, and what's the alternative called? (sorry, told you I was a newbie...lol).
I currently buy Canon compatible ink cartridges at $10 NZD per colour (aprox. $6.34 USD at time of this post) and have no postage costs. Can I fill these compatible cartridges with ink, or do I have to get the canon manufactured cartridges?
And final question, does anyone have a really sweet, gentlemanly father who I can match up with my 'Powerful Choleric' personality type mother?
Ok, that should do it for now.
Thanks....
Cheers,
Me
