    Inkjet printable disk printers

    Because Epson holds the patent in the US. The only option is to buy a printer destined for other markets or hack them. ADDED: Sorry iP4XXX, I didn't see your post before posting mine.

    Inkjet printable disk printers

    Buy one from Canada, they're enabled for disc printing, cartridges are the same as US. I bought my first iP4500 from someone in Canada so I could print on discs. EDIT: I found one for you in Vancouver if it's still available: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/sys/1892030645.html

    Calibration - please help

    Hmm. I get great prints out of my iP4500 (just slightly off-color from the flyer paper). @stratman, I get mine from HERE. Yes, they are pricey but I only use them for the discs I produce for sale. For my personal use, I use THESE

    Calibration - please help

    strobemonkey, which waterproof DVDs are you using? I use JVC (TY) Watershields. The images printed on them vary slightly from the HP Brochure and Flyer (glossy) paper I use. I've resigned myself (so far) to live with the color change from what I see on the screen to what prints out on the flyer...

    Is this possible ?

    I think cutting the top section off above the sponge section would destroy the integrity of the vent channel.

    For "washing out" your carts, do a "flush" or "purge" search to find some good threads on the subject. Here are two: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=311 http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5290

    Canon states not to use extension cords/multi sockets

    Doesn't make sense since most outlets in a room (and usually more than one room) are on the same circuit breaker. How many amps does the MP560 use? It can't be more than one can it?

    Cartridge chip on Canon IP4500

    Use an eraser to clean off the contacts on the cart chip. Are there any obstructions in the print head carrier that is preventing a good contact? If all is good and it's still not recognized, go to Octoink.com, websnail has some empty OEM CLI carts for for sale (well practically giving away)...

    Selecting Printer

    Depending on where you're at, iP4500s can still be had for a decent price from time to time. Check out Craigslist. It uses the larger CLI-8 cartridges. There's one being advertised in my area for $30. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ele/1900904687.html

    Got a free Canon MP560, is it a keeper?

    @tnlem, if in the US, you can get Image Specialists in from Presision Colors (mikling - a member here)- http://stores.ebay.com/PrecisionColors . Hobicolors ink and IS ink are the two most recommened inks here. You won't go wrong either way. For the cli-221 resetter, they can be had from forum...

    Single light colors

    Huh???? The ink colors obviously won't look the same when printed on black paper as they do on white, but the lighter colors should still be visible on the black paper. Wouldn't they? @grasmere, a little more information on what you're tying to accomplish would be helpful. What printer do you...

    refilling using squeeze bottles - w/pics and video(new)

    I wonder if the third and fourth items here are what Irv was thinking about: http://www.valueplastics.com/search/fulllinedoublecheckvalves.aspx But once you squeeze the bottle to supply ink, how how will air get back into the bottle for the next go? Unscrew the check valve? This site has some...

    Color proofing for large-scale digital printing on fabric

    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    It shouldn't be long before someone develops the "German window installation method" where you use a Dremel tool to cut out a section of the side wall and install a clear plastic window. Just wait, it'll come.
