i'm sorry i just can't read 14 pages of this posting again, but if this is about drying the cartridges, after flushing with solution i take a wet/dry vac to the exit port and you can see the liquid come out of the cartridge, that way you can dry it as much as you want very quickly, also it...

i have not tossed the printer on the scrap heep yet, i think it will make an interesting project, as far as disassembly for purge unit, ink pad replacement, and checking the print head with a meter

just spoke with a service tech about the B200 error code he said usually that means that both the logic board and printhead are bad, canon also said the boards are no longer available oh well ashes to ashes

ok a new print head from canon is around $45.00 i will now see what a logic board cost as this maybe a project down the road as this model with 220 cartridges will soon be a thing of the past if not already, i really like this printer, this would be a good project, however with this code i can...

hmmmmm several options i am going to try the scaling first

pixma mp990, the image is a chart that is saved as a word doc, i open msword and go to file, print, properties, and select glossy 4x6 paper. win7

ok the problem that i am having is, a 2x3 inch image that when i print on regular 8 1/2 x 11 plain paper it prints at that size, but if i try to print it on to 4x6 photo paper it wants to fill the whole paper, i guess what i'm trying to do is print a "wallet size" but at a specific size, i can't...

after following the above link, all good suggestions that i will try except for the taping method, also can i take a good print head from a MP560 and use it in the MP620, i believe the printheads are the same, but i was wondering if the printheads get "married to the motherboard on the printer"...

Ok a search shows that it is a voltage issue or an over heated printhead has anyone had any success other than a new printhead?

i have tried to leave the ball in, and drill a 5/32 hole for a plug, i did not like the new hole i made as the wall of the of the cartridge is too thin and i didn't feel i get a good enough seal, when the ball is removed there is a "tube or collar" that extends down giving the plug more surface...

for those that may be interested, i mailed a set of refilled cartridges across the country with clean dry results, they were packed in a plastic container as in the photo above, no tape on the vent maze, the only precaution i took was to place each individual cartridge in a small zip lock baggie...

woot has the white one for $79.99 plus $5.00 shipping it is a one day sale or until sold out one thing i noticed at the bottom it says printer comes with starter ink good for 80 pages LOL WOW any ways can we get a quick review on this printer are the cartridges resettable just incase i may want...

I believe this is a non-issue now, I went to the post office and asked if I sent a package from NY to Florida will it go via air at all, I said I wanted to avoid air. they said all I have to do is specify ground only, and that would take longer about a week.

thank you that is exactly what i'm looking for

has anyone weighed a new 220 black or a 221 cartridge when they were new before using them, as i am interested how much an OEM weighs compared to my refills, after i find a scale i plan on weighing a new 221 gray cartridge with a clip that i normally use for refilled cartridges so at that time i...

the plugs that i use for the low clearance printers, are the colored plugs with a tab, i like these plugs because they mushroom out at the bottom when fully inserted, but there is the issue of clearance, so once inserted i take a razor and trim the plug flush with the cartridge, yes i lose the...

yes that is the foil tape that everyone is talking about, when items are mailed and i assume that at some point they may go via cargo plane in an unpressurizer cabin, so say at what 20,000 ft what is the difference in pressure than at sea level, i think this is my concern

thanks each one will go in a seperate ziplock bag with foil tape over the maze

ok i know i asked this last year sometime, but maybe there is a better idea since then. most of my refilling has been for family that is local, but now i have a relative that is residing out of state and i will be mailing refilled 221s to them. So what are the issues or best way to mail the...

i have seen non-oem sponges that are 2 piece like canon OEM, but the after-market sponges were a foam material where as the canon are more of a fiber, and yes i still have not found an after market cartridge that performs as well as a canon. i know i have mentioned this before, i use a wet dry...
