hi, gh I knew to take along ink, but didn't think about paper. When you remove the ink, do you use the Windex mixture, or distilled or tapwater.....or something else? Do you try to dry afterwards to get water out of the nozzles? Thanks for the help! Fred

I'm trying to archive a few printers to be able to continue re-filling (German method). I have a nice, running ip4200 and 2x NEW ip4200's in storage. Are used Canon MP530's a good idea? I see 2 on local CL for $50 and $25 each. I think the printheads are the same on the ip4200....which have...

Just got my squeeze bottles from Websnail!..........Very nice and really easy compared to syringes. Fred

I have used both 20ga and 18ga.I much prefer the 18ga(if sharp).

You are really lucky not to have burned up the print head.

From a previous thread on using "AA" batteries and a link to using an AC adapter as well: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4528 .

There are posts on using a wall wart as well as AA Alkalines(2 AA alkalines in a battery holder). See link: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4528

That makes sense...........and explains why simply removing/replacing a cartridge has no effect.

Thanks,guys....just what I thought,but wanted to be sure. So what is the "event" that causes the chip to need to be reset.Is it the low ink warning?Or a count of something by the printer?

If you remove a chipped cartridge(in my case a CLI8 for a Canon ip4200) and immediately put it back into the printer(*same* exact cartridge),it does't require a reset,does it? For example,I remove all my full and recently reset cartridges to add a small piece of tape over the refill holes...

I have 2 different Terumo brand needles in my hand as I type this.One needle has a small flange that would screw(lock) into a syringe with an internally threaded barrel(luer).It also will slide onto a non-threaded plastic syringe for a fairly tight fit.So it's dual use. The other needle,an...

Most are slip-lock and have no threads.The threaded version is much more secure,has obvious threads *on the SYRINGE*,and costs more.

I've used several different plugs(including the Hobbicolors-the ink I've used for a long while) and never been fully satisfied.I have not used a plug that seals 100% tightly and 100% of the time. Like nanosec,I never let the cartridges get dry on the "foam" side as I don't want to take a chance...

Call us liars all you want.But that doesn't change the truth.Maybe your technique is lousy for the German method?

Ten seconds is EASY to accomplish.But I used needles for 30 years(until I retired) to inject anesthetic into living,breathing,moving human beings.This is WAY easier.The cartridges never move or complain.Just takes getting the cartridge into the correct position and the tactile sense to put the...

Gee.........Canon having to rationalize something about one of their products........Who'd have thunk it!!!??

I just did a simple mod on my Sudhaus Redsetter($20 on Ebay) so that it can use AA Alkaline batteries in place of the Mitsubishi CR2032 3V "coin" battery that it uses from the factory.I planned on getting a Radio Shack AA battery holder(2 AA = 3V),but I just cheaped out and made a simple holder...

See new post on this mod with AA batteries. Link: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4528

How does the ip4200 fit in?Is it as reliable as the ip4300/4500?Reason I ask is that I have 3 new ones that I got at CCity before they went under.

Think I'll try the heavy aluminum tape by Nashua(the REAL duct tape).It's dead-soft and molds very well.it has strong adhesive,too.I may try Blue Tac(would be very easy) if I can ascertain it will stay in place well enough.
