when you print on plain paper you are using the PGBK cartridge when you go to matte or gloss paper you are using the 221BK cartridge which is dye based ink, it sounds like the problem that i just went through, look at this thread on how i flushed the printhead...

YAHOO just before flushing and after prints

just finished flushing the printhead with warm water, fitted a plastic tube over the inlet on the printhead and blew through air through the tube and flushed each color one at a time, used a can of compressed air to dry off the contacts and i am getting a perfect nozzle check, now we will see if...

i will try to purge one cartridge before i attempt to flush the printhead, i do not think it is the purge unit as i would think all of the cartridges would act as being clogged here is the scan

a scan will be posted later today, the clog is the PGBK that i fill with dye ink, but i have not seen the cleaner that LA is using

yes i have stopped using pigment ink in the PGBK cartridge as i have replaced the pigment with dye ink, as i don't have an issue with smudging and i would just rather use 1 black ink. with that said after 4 or 5 refills i am starting to experience clogging of the PGBK area of the print head...

it is an iphone4, what i am looking for is info on the canon airprint, this is the info i have found so far but not for the mp640 A firmware update for the printer may be needed to support AirPrint. You will need a PC (Mac or Windows), a USB cable, Firmware utility (download from our site)...

it looks like the newer models can print from a smart phone, does anyone know if a firmware update for the mp640 will allow smart phone printing

i used those storage clips several years ago, i thought they were very good at the time, then i noticed that the clips were putting a lot of pressure on the little tabs on the front of the cartridges, i tried a thinner pad, but then i switched to the clips that mike sells at precision colors

if you go to this thread http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5004&p=6 #48 you will see a photo of the plugs that i have trimmed flush,without any tape this is something that works for me and i have been quite satisfied, the only additional thing i now do that i never did before...

one thing i have noticed and i am referring to the CLI-8 cartridges only because they are totally clear, when the software indicates the ink level is empty and the reservior is empty, the sponge area is still about 30% full i think i am putting about 10mls into the reservior, i will pay more...

i started filling CLI-8 cartridges and now filling 220/221s and i have gone through 16oz of each color and close to 48oz of black i have used 3 OEM sets of cartridges for the CLI-8s and i have only 2 sets of the 220/221 that i use, that does not count the cartridges that i fill for friends, a...

maybe i didn't see it but has it been stated that these are OEM cartridges that are being used, only because it appears to be a typical starvation issue, only my 2 cents which is now worth 8.5 cents

pulling the power cord has nothing to do with cartridges being out, but think about what a first time filler will go through once they pull a cartridge out, how long will it be before he gets the cartridge back in. especially never filled before

especially for a new refiller, get a second set of cartridges and make sure they are OEM, the easiest way to discourage a new refiller is to use compatible cartridges that may have flow problems among other issues, by having a second set of cartridges, al can pull the empty pop in a full...

where are you located states euro downunder, that will determine where you get your supplies from, first buy another set of canon cartridges so you always have 1 set of OEM cartridges already filled, your can either buy new or used ones off of the net, my personal preference is to top fill, but...

on your bci carts you can see the sponge correct? do they look like they have a lot of ink in the sponge, if they do place the exit port over cup and blow through the maze vent this will vacate any ink in the sponge, then try to refill once again, maybe after refilling the carts so many times...

here is a picture of the plugs that mike sells, after the plug is inserted i took a razor knife and cut the top of the plug flush to remove the plug just take a pin or other "pick" and pry the plug out, after doing this i have let the cartridges sit for several weeks in the cartridge clips and...
