Well... It will be interesting to see how this develops. Will the printers now be more expensive? There must be some strategy to make money of us, the users. So until my Pro-100 craps out I'll just sit and watch.

Kind of ditto. No extra tape, etc, just the orange clip and the fill-hole plug. Then I store the refilled carts in a Zip-Lock bag, but squeeze out as much air as possible. HOWEVER, there are different Zip-Lock bags. Some use material that vent vegetables or fruit gases. So I look for the...

@Photo... The pressure inside the carts is EXTREMELY sensitive to pressure changes. So the few drops out the top, with the orange clip still on the bottom, is always possible. I am surprised when it doesn't happen. Same with the few drops out the bottom, with or without the top plug in, I...

Most important rule to remember is this equation YI+W=YG, Yellow Ink plus Water equals Yellow-Gel. After a water based flush of the head do not immediately try to run inks through the head. The Yellow will turn to Gel. After a water flush you definitely need to flush with an Ammonia based...

As the posts under this topic are a bit about telling stories, I have one. This morning I am reading an article in the paper about some news media entity tweeting things that turn out to not be correct, because they didn’t fact check before posting. Well, that’s what happened to me a couple of...

Hi stratman. When I say it's my fault I mean it in the sense that I did no research, so I instantiated the Yellow Gell, hence "my fault". I just want to express that I place no blame neither on Precision Color nor OctoInkjet. Actually the opposite, both have been a great help in resolving my...

I don't have much success in printing B&W when I let the software decide what inks to use, because then the "B" is usually a combination of different density(?) of colored inks. It usually never appears as good B&W. I am not sure your printer is working correctly, but I would leave the...

I suppose I was trying to avoid the naming of my materials, because I did not want to offend anyone. I am glad it's not about finger pointing, although I have clearly identified that the finger points at me.. As you asked, in order to help the forum let me then give some details. For a short...

Back in February I definitively had Yello Gello in my Pro-100. All due to my fault. After reading/watching a large number of advice articles/videos, I decided to chance my skills on a print head flush. All channels, because I had a clean set of carts to fill with new ink. For the head flush...

So far I have used only the top fill method. Yes, the Yello Gello was pretty well due to refilling, but mainly because I simply investigated "nothing" until I actually had the problem. It was ink to ink incombatibiity. But I can't claim incompatibility, because if I had studied the sources I...

I am happy that @stratman and @mikling (and @Hat is probably watching) are here to keep us on the straight. I was not aware of the design considerations involved in choosing the plugs. Very interesting and certainly should be carefully considered. The issue with my Yellow Gello issue was...

Hi All. I don't want to speak against any advice regarding the Yellow carts. But (unfortunately there is always a but) I have had no bad results. At least not until now. There may however be good reasons. One, I live in a city at higher elevation. Our house sits at 4,200ft, and sort of mid...

Hi photo, both of my orders of OEM CLI-42 carts from Octo came with one CLI-8. I actually didn't know that it was meant for "practice". Since I have entered the refill period of my life, I have gotten to like the top fill method better. Three things I like to pass on. First, there is (was)...

Now this whole thing makes sense. Not sense as in I agree, but sense why it's only in the US, by a company other than Canon. Thanks for explaining that.

I read (on Canon site) that the Rebate applies to the 50 United States,the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. So it's not good for Canada, or elsewhere for that matter. Too bad that Canon is that restrictive.

I have gone the route of converting (me) from 3rd party carts to refilling. It has taken a number of months, but that's due to my sporadic efforts. I had used 3rd party carts for 2-3 years, but even they became costly. On the good advice here, and YouTube, I purchased 2 sets of OEM carts, the...

For myself, I wouldn't give up yet. I have been doing a lot of cleaning lately and have had good results, although every one of the symptoms were different. I still wouldn't rush into a new printer. I would do a full flush of the print-head first. It's a long shot, but I would recommend...

What gauge would those plastic sheets be? What normal purpose would those sheet be used for? I wouldn't mind trying them. If they go through the printer more than once, that could save paper, because with my scheme it pretty well means a wasted page every time.

It is neat to see where all the communications originate. Seems to makes the world a smaller place. That's why I am (sort of) in favor of showing locations. But of course it's everyone personal decision. All the best in regards to your printer problems.

I had a similar problem, not with the IPF-750, but with an i9900. That's why I wound up upgrading to my Pro-100. It started the same way. One colour started missing lines, then some more, and then a second colour started similarly. I did the nozzle check, replaced carts, with no improvement...
