    That heart melting moment when you go to check on an FAQ article you wrote to help folk fix something fairly simple and you get this gem of a feedback for it. I didn't edit it to remove the swearing but sometimes you wonder why you bother... So, with a microsecond of concern that humanities...

    Canon printers. How many of us are still refilling?

    Well... FWIW, I have customers who've gone that route and tried things out. From last count the success rate has been around 30-40% but these are people who've taken a punt and not expected miracles. Long term I've not had any data come back but these were mostly people I've spoken to at length...

    Canon printers. How many of us are still refilling?

    There was a news release recently that indicated Canon was pursuing legal action against some retailers for distributing and/or manufacturing the fake (reconditioned) printheads. Can't find it at the moment but it seems Canon have taken notice. That said it's a shame that Canon haven't...

    [color] profiler V.20 powered by ArgyllCMS. It's got me beat!

    Just as a thought you may not have the app in the right directory or the PATH variable isn't updated to include the Argyll executable.

    Genuine Canon bulk pigment ink ? Will it fit ?

    :clapYep that will work for pouring out... You do need to allow air in to allow the ink to exit though. For this I use a sharp needle with a long piece of tubing attached as a sort of vent chimney. You make sure the end of the vent tube is about a foot or more above where you'll hold the...

    Epson XP-15000: how to mix dye ink with clear ink base to obtain red and grey using CMYK

    Interesting... Did you not have any of the WJ807 base fluid? Can't remember if I've ever provided you with any of that... Worth noting that the Paul Roark B&W recipe's use with 807 Base or the WJ804 GLOP as a CIB, with pigment inks as well so might that be worth trying too? I have the...

    Interest in EU group buy Hongsam inks (Evernew dye + pigment)?

    Okay... As I'm in the process of reviewing our inks and the like going forward I'm open to purchasing a small amount of these inks for decanting and making available via the OctoInkjet store. We've done it with other inks like the ingredients for Paul Roark's B&W ink set so this isn't too much...

    HP Firmware lottery - Again

    In case anyone has an HP printer that has received that joyous of all wonderful gifts, ie: a firmware update over July/August (2022) then chances are your compatible (non-OEM) cartridges are no longer being accepted all over again. I think this is the third time they've pulled this stunt despite...

    Pro 10s banding. This only happens in muddy mid-tones, bright mixed areas are fine. I have tried head re-alignmen.

    Rumours that I threatened it with being lost in the returns system post-Brexit are being strenuously denied but hey, if it works... ;)

    I don't know if I should cry or puke.

    Honestly the iP4500 was in my opinion one of the best built printers before Canon started down the "cut quality, lower cost" route so if you can get a decent unit with sealed printheads I'd seriously consider it. That said, consider that printer drivers may be an issue if you're using a Mac. As...

    Pro 10s banding. This only happens in muddy mid-tones, bright mixed areas are fine. I have tried head re-alignmen.

    Technical issue with the forum software it seems... I've edited the post to provide a link instead but here it is again

    Pro 10s banding. This only happens in muddy mid-tones, bright mixed areas are fine. I have tried head re-alignmen.

    Late to this but I had the benefit of historic orders to go on. Chances are that one or more of the cartridges (photo black and grey are "good"(?) candidates) has degraded ink flow due to the ink starting to clog up the mesh/sponge located in/around the outlet area. I'll lay odds that the new...

    B/W printing with the ET-8500/8550

    To save any blushes later I should note that I only have any insight into the Epson B&W inks as per Paul Roark's recipes and due to time constraints most of my experience is third hand through customer shared info and from Paul himself so I'm no expert in the subject.

    Pro-300 refill videos now up

    I normally don't plug anything remotely like this but as I really just want some kudos (I hope!) for the effort and hard work I thought I'd share it more directly and risk the wrath of the fire axe wielding mods for once. I've completed a set of four videos all relating to the Pro-300 covering...

    piese of plastic come out with paper Epson ET-2760

    Have gone through the ET-2750 I have here and the only place I can find plastic like that is protecting the tubing for the CIS system and it's a longer piece so not much help I'm afraid.

    Constructive Crit' please

    And in other news... I've added a few more videos this past week covering. Full set swapping for the Pro-300 although it covers the overall process for those with and without chip resettable cartridges. Flushing & initial refilling cartridges that have never been refilled before (primarily for...

    Constructive Crit' please

    I know where you're coming from with this. The difficulty I see with this is that the only way to guarantee that a user puts the full amount of ink into the cartridge is to do one of two or three things. Have a table of cartridge weights that indicate when a cartridge is full (probably the most...
