ok the plugs i recieved from mis will not work partly do to my own doing, inserted 1 in a new hole not the OEM fill hole, the plug fell inside trying to remove it, then i tried in in the OEM hole which is ok to remove but i made the hole a little larger to use the colored silicone plugs that i...

on the canon cartridges if you drill your own fill hole the plastic is fairly thin and a plug with out a lip or tab could be pushed right through, but if you remove the OEM plastic ball that canon uses to seal thier fill hole there is a "tube" that sticks down that gives a little support for a...

ok i just ordered plugs from mis but they are for epsons so i will see if they work

i tried the german method several years ago with the CLI-8 cartridges that have full view of the sponge area, at times i would get an over saturated sponge and a small leak from the hole where the needle entered, with the cli-8 it is much easier to detect and make adjustments for over...

there is not enough room on the side between the cartridges and you can't do it in front because it needs to lock in

ok here we go again the cutting wheel i used was bought at the local home depot for $3.00 it is called a diamond wheel and it was attached to a pencil like attachment for my black and decker dremel type tool, the cutting wheel didn't so much cut the plastic as it melted the plastic so when the...

in a couple of hours i should have some pics and a step by step, i can't believe it i had it all done i was attaching pics and i lost everything UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH i'll start over few minutes

now that is a plug that i have not seen before, it looks very interesting wish i had seen them prior to drilling out the last set of cartridges, but i will be ordering them to see how well they work, is it my understanding that you can inject through the plug without removing it, i would think...

i spoke with mike he doesn't carry the low profile plugs, i have the 2 other plugs he carrys, but they are too thick, does anyone know of someone in north america that carrys the lower profile plugs

as of yet i have not tried them, i am waiting for a responce for those plugs, i was wondering what the internation shipping will be on them and i don't know if they will solve the issue, so until i receive them this is the altenative and if canon makes the clearance even tighter in the future...

for those of us that do not want to give up the top fill method due to canon designing tight clearances on the newer printers, i am now using i little different adjustment. previously on the 560-640 and 990 printers i was cutting a slot in the upper case so the top of the cartridges could be...

it sounds like one of black the cartridges may have not seated completely and leaked, but the bottom of the print head needs to be wiped off carefully

the hat is correct, i stopped using the pigment black in my 220 cartridge several months ago, i now use just black dye and the print is darker, i may be giving up the smudge "proofness" of the pigment black but i don't use a high lighter so it is not an issue for me

this thread started because of appearance, if the bottles were smaller and filled to the brim would people think boy i'm getting a little extra, my pet peave is paying shipping charges but that is all part of the expence that people doing business have to deal with, i really can not even...

on the canon cartridge i used the hot glue after some time seemed to help, on the hp the label covered the refill hole which has a very small serpentine air passage. one thing i noticed if i put the cartridges on end (so the print head is in the 3 or 9 oclock position) the leaking stopped, in...

when i filled these 2 cartridges for a friend both cartridges will not stop bleeding ink the canon more so than the hp, i did place a piece of tape over the hole i made in the canon cartridge and i replaced the label for the hp cartridge, so did i do something wrong or could it have been that i...

most recent post for cleaning printheads seem to be using windex, what is the active ingredient that is getting results, soap or is it the ammonia that is in the solution

IS has been working very well for me in the 4200, 560, 640 and now a 990, what i have changed though is i no longer use black pigment, i use black dye in all black cartridges now, i just didn't want to use 2 different black inks, now my text looks sharper but i think that is because the black...

hmmmp i didn't read the thread very well i should have read #3 better, but your final solution or conclusion to your issue will be welcome info to this ever evolving refill process
