    are toners different between Xerox printers

    Here is the result of using 6180mfp refill toner to refill 6515workcenter cartridges. It worked. Print-outs look good. Absolutely no visible difference. I might add koodos to Xerox for the new style toner cartridges (the image drum is now a separate unit). 1. Simply swap the chip (available...

    are toners different between Xerox printers

    I have also done more research and found in one of the manuals for the Xerox 6515wc an explanation for adjusting the fixing temperature. That's something I never had to do, but is obviously an option. I was mostly worried about particle size. As that seems less of an issue I may have to use...

    are toners different between Xerox printers

    Can I use Xerox 6180 MFP 3-party refill toner for a Xerox 6515 WorkCenter. The bottles have not been opened, but are around a couple of years old. I am wondering what the implications are. Is the toner too old. How likely is it that the toner is compatible between two Xerox laser printers...

    Do I need to get grease for rail?

    I would be inclined to lubricate even at the risk of some paper dust in the print room. A wipe every 6 months or so would get rid of the dust. However I would never use 3-in-one oil. That stuff is generally the cheapest oil and needs to be replenished, because it does have a tendency toward...

    Mixing Canon and Precision Colors inks?

    @Fan of Printing: I have noticed that my colors are used at relatively the same pace, except the blacks/grays. I print mostly software code (text in color), but often 30 to 50 pages at a time, and I like the Pro-100 fast print, because it does save ink, and for text print outs that's just...

    Canon Easy Photo Print and Windows 10

    Pro-100 is recognized no problem, but there may be a couple of important differences. First I have Canon Easy Photo Print EX, and Win 10 Pro. I have noticed that Win 10 Pro lets a few things run that others have complaint about with just Win 10. I have however had problems installing legacy...

    bottom plate cleaning - ink smudges: print head/purge unit?

    Hi @The Hat, the window cleaner is new to me. I suppose you use a syringe to fill the purge bins. What about after the bottom cleaning? Do you need to remove the excess window cleaner to minimize the drain down into the waste sponge? And what about wiping it off the bottom of the print head?

    bottom plate cleaning - ink smudges: print head/purge unit?

    I hope others in this forum weigh in this (my) comment, because in my humble opinion @ikolt may have more than a smudge issue. When I look at the nozzle check I see rectangular patterns for CO. It tells me that the nozzle are not firing correctly, but I couldn't think of anything that would...

    3rd Party dye ink fade Test...!

    @The Hat: Thanks so much for this kind of work. It really helps to actually see results. It's fairly obvious that paper makes a big difference. I would not have guessed that. Some difference yes, simply because of the image rendition, but not to that extend. Again, thanks for your work...

    MX726 - how to clean the printhead?

    canon-do, or whomever: Please note, if you so choose, you use any of the tricks/hints/suggestions below (or whatever you may call it) strictly at your own risk. Troubleshooting this type of issue by yourself can be frustrating. Even if you take the printer to a shop you will likely be...

    Do Pro-100 C & M carts get exercised when printing photos?

    @Ink stained Fingers :) Now there is truth in a name. Haven't we all been there?

    Do Pro-100 C & M carts get exercised when printing photos?

    There are similarities between printer. A such the Pro-100 has 2 sets of 4 columns of nozzles, one column for each of the 8 colors. Each column has about 768 nozzles. @The Hat: Could you please let us know where the table originates? Is this something available for a particular job? I have...

    Do Pro-100 C & M carts get exercised when printing photos?

    Regarding Features One of the reasons why I like using the Pro-100 printer. :) When a job is printing, and you find that something is wrong, wrong job, wrong density, etc., simply press the Cancel below the power button :). The job simply stops, right where it's at :), and the paper ejects...

    Canon Pro 100s Vs IP8750

    Sorry no experience with Canon Canon IP8750. I can only comment on Pro-100, and earlier on i9900.

    Do Pro-100 C & M carts get exercised when printing photos?

    When you print any photos it is more than just the "Photo.." inks that "may" get exercised. It is really the color spread of the graphic image that the Pro-100 interpreters and calculates "it's" appropriate ink. The same goes for the black or gray, the best choice is decided by the printer. I...

    Canon Pro 100s Vs IP8750

    I have been using compatibles for all refills and have not been disappointed. That includes photos. If there is/was a difference it was not "apparent" on the photos I printed. The paper seemed to be a much larger factor. If I used good quality paper, I received good quality photos. Photo...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    Yes, I am glad that I finally caved in and installed Windows 10. It is a good working version, and the different look and feel I will learn, and mostly have already. I believe it is in one of the videos you mentioned that I learned about the 60 hrs, and how to prevent expensive cleaning...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    My apologies that I didn't use the exact wording. I am just in the process of installing Windows 10, and my Pro-100 is not yet installed. After all the horror stories on the Internet, I must say I am now impressed with Win 10. ALL my (legal) legacy software, including way back to Office 2003...

    My New Canon PIXMA Pro-100

    I am sure you will like the printer. I have had Canon inkjet for years. First the i9900 and now the Pro-100. "My" main reason is the paper feed. It is crisp, you don't fight with trays, and the paper alignment is essentially perfect (because the printhead calibrates its position to the...

    Pro-100 Cleaning Page

    That is interesting, that the Standard Nozzle check does all the nozles. I wish Canon would make this sort of info "easily" available. On their website there is not a preliferation of info. I get the feeling that there is deliberate effort to not provide this sort of info. Perhaps it's only...
