    Empty OEM Canon carts : Worth offering?

    Very good, thanks. I was just going by what it says next to Shipping in the item details... "Calculated at checkout". But thanks for the workaround. I'm going to hold off ordering until you get the empty carts up on your store. I hope your summer holiday isn't too far off.

    Empty OEM Canon carts : Worth offering?

    Yes, I think it's a good idea. A public service kind of thing. I'm sure they won't last long. While I haven't looked lately, I wasn't able to come up with any empty OEM carts to use as a backup. Any idea of how much it would be to Post to the states? I might be interested if not too much. I'm...

    Got a free Canon MP560, is it a keeper?

    OK, in that case, the 560 is not for you. Put it up on craigslist, you may get a few bucks for it. I'm the other way around. I had an Epson R200 and R220 with a CIS but got the Canon 4500 after the Epsons died. I wanted to continue the CIS route but found that Canon's don't work well with them...

    Got a free Canon MP560, is it a keeper?

    Ahh, I hadn't thought of that. Very good point. However, the needles aren't going to pose a problem for school officials, are they? Good suggestion on the bottles. I've seen them mentioned here before but hadn't given them much thought. But it is a pain having to clean out the syringe after...

    TJ, save yourself some (a ton actually) money and refill your carts.

    Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II ink

    Irv, expand that into a novel and you'll have publishers beating down your door to publish it. I'll be the first in line to buy the $1.99 paperback version with your surplus bond paper no less!! Seriously, you have a gift of writing, my friend.

    Pointer to an old thread w/ Grandad35's flush method description

    I'm not sure. You may have to poke around here to see if that's been answered already. If/when you do get a resetter, I bought mine here: http://stores.ebay.com/Tales-of-Tamoor I bought the less-expensive version for my iP4500 and it's still going strong after a year of use. I guess that...

    Got a free Canon MP560, is it a keeper?

    Keep it. I thought about using the german method but decided to go with the top method. The first time is a little difficult as you have to remove the inlet hole stopper ball. But after that it's very easy. I use IS ink from here...

    Pointer to an old thread w/ Grandad35's flush method description

    Glad to be of service!! One at a time as the printer indicated that cart was low. I didn't really do any before/after comparisons for the ink color, but from what I read on this forum, IS ink is very close to Canon ink so I didn't sweat it. I saw in your other threads that you have a iP4700...

    Pointer to an old thread w/ Grandad35's flush method description

    Here it is: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=311 Did you search for "flush" as the keyword and "grandad35" for the username? It returns just one page. But I will tell you that I have yet to flush/clean my OEM carts. After the original ink was about empty, I refilled with IS...
