    Canon PRO-200

    What firmware hack? The hack would be to slip in code that took chips with identical capacities. I.e CLI-8 comes to mind. So delete and enter code that takes CLI-8 chips as use them for the CLI-42 or CLI-65. So anybody know how to hack Canon firmware? Same for the Pro-300. Use chips from PGI-9...

    Canon PRO-200

    In fact the "end" is here depending on how it is defined. I will give very low odds that the chip is resettable. It is simply too easy to "fix" that but stupider things have been done by Canon like the Fine Art Margins which was a real downer since over 10 years ago. However judging by the...

    Canon PRO-200

    Well actually these newer printers will save the user money in some cases. Like for Chiropractor bills when you lifted the big heavy old boxes. And Yeah, less waste for the environment, ya know you have to be responsible for the environment. But wait that dinky screen is sure cute. Those old...

    Canon PRO-200

    I had already had a superior magenta than the OEM CLI-42M in the Signature Inkset for the Pro-100 May 2019. Many users had already noticed the increased performance over OEM with this new Magenta. So yeah, Canon fixed that weakness. The other thing about black density is that Canon uses a...

    Looking at the P700

    Note what was stated prior " So my guess is that Epson is literally pricing the P700 to a specific price target that is attractive to prior P600 owners " Keith you got the plastic inserts in the tanks completely wrong and they were not there to provide better ink flow or whatever as you had...

    Looking at the P700

    At this point on a board mainly dedicated to refillers, it should be disclosed that the P700 and P900 share similarities not seen in an Epson lineup before. First despite what the reviewers are claiming, the P700 is NOT really a P600 replacement. The P700 is a smaller P900 with less features...

    Canon PRO-200

    Here come the guesses. Same printhead. Why? Based on what we saw on the Pro-300. The Pro-10 printhead shared the same carcass as on the Pro-100 except for some bits but the commonality was evident. I can see new chips on the Pro-300 because it will use an updated inkset. However, the Pro-100...

    Cleaning Pro-100 printheads

    I should have indicated pat dry and immediately reinstall and test. Any remnants of water will be driven out by the ink in the first prime of cleaning. To test the effectiveness of various cleaning methods a small experiment was conducted next but the sample printheads need to be laid out first...

    Cleaning Pro-100 printheads

    Now that "cheap" Pro-100 printheads can no longer be found it is now becoming necessary for the unfortunate ones who have discovered that Cartridge condition is vital to keeping these printers printing problem free. Method of refilling is important and even with the best of practices, the tank...

    Why am I getting ink on the backside of prints with my Pixma Pro 100?

    If you have been printing lots of "borderless" photos? Unplug the printer. Raise the lid of the printer. Now align the sheet as it would come through the printer. But with the bottomside showing. Take care to make sense of this part. Now look at the paper path and the positioning of the ink...

    Canon Pro-100 Support code 4100

    If this happened on the same grouping as on the Head Cleaning groups, then there might be something else going on. There are two groupings, these groups are physically grouped as well......perhaps even the cabling and electronic circuits. The aspect that it is intermittent indicates a potential...

    Canon Pro-100 Support code 4100

    The fact that the printer prints means exactly as stated, it all works or else it would not print. As Hat mentioned, we KNOW that reset chips are not accepted by some Canon utilities and Creative Park is jut one. This if we recall happened as long back as the CLI-8 days. This tells us that reset...

    My Canon PRO-10 on refill ink - and what happened to my PRO-9500II

    Some were advising to "wash" these tanks. Only wiping over should be done.

    My Canon PRO-10 on refill ink - and what happened to my PRO-9500II

    I warned of the issue of washing PGI-72 tanks in my last appearance on Jose's Rodriguez ( Toolman) podcast. There is a small air inlet at the top corner of the tanks and if water or any fluid enters there during any wash or soak procedure, the resulting fluid inside will cause the diaphragm to...

    Can DURABrite printers be used for photo printing?

    While you can print photos with Durabrite pigment ink. There is one aspect you should take note of. The most important is the level of expectation not from a standpoint of color but from the finished look especially from Glossy papers. Since all dark colors and dark tones will primarily be a...

    What is the meaning of this on the Epson P700 and P900

    That is so easy to fix. The previous generation had the memory in NVRAM and was part of the MB. Simply using as simple a thing as a password would lock that up. Next up is private public key. Then there is the option of only allowing entry by techs if the tech is connected to the internet and...

    What is the meaning of this on the Epson P700 and P900

    https://www.vistek.ca/store/439586/epson-surecolor-p700-printer#Specs Note on the ink shelf life. There is a little explicit statement. Printer is designed for use with Epson cartridges only, not third-party cartridges or ink...

    Looking at the new Canon PRO-300

    I have that song on LP Vinyl by the Musical Youth, My Linn does it justice. I also listen to it now and then on Spotify or TIDAL. Now the more impressive rockers version is this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k05n4xpXFeI To really appreciate it you need a subwoofer that moves the body...

    Looking at the new Canon PRO-300

    Let's start with a secret Watermark! in a corner. Pop a mask in and you have a secret mark in a little spot. That is one. The issue of Co on the edges or not is another. Basically, you can have control over it all combined. It is tedious but it is more controllable than the Pro-300 and it also...
