I had a cheap set of drill bits laying around so I used them and as it turns out that the bit marked as 5/32" was not the right size... go figure. I went and bought a new set and now the plug sits a lot better.

Thanks for your input Joe. I did what you said, and got some funny looks from neighbors as I did this outside. There was movement, but most was the top of the sponge as it moved about 1" and very little on the bottom. I believe that the sponge is locked up somehow, so I went ahead and cleaned...

I attempted to flush my first cli-42 cart, and that part actually went very well. Absolutely no traces of any of the original OEM yellow ink left over. The cart is weighing in at 14 gm so its ready to be filled. When it was clean, I dripped some ink in the outlet port, then I commenced to...

Thanks for the tip!

I did a quick search on eBay for some empty pgi-72 carts and found nothing. Are these rare to find?

Thanks for the information! I didn't even think to look for the pgi-9 carts. One question: If the cart is extremely dried out, will the distilled water be enough to rejuvenate the sponge? I'm still on my original carts in my pro-10 and I want to gear up for refilling. Is it best practice to...

Hi Guys, I've been looking around for any tutorial concerning the flushing of a pgi-72 cart and had absolutely no luck. Can someone please enlighten me on this process? William

Thanks for the update!

Just picked up a new Canon Pro-10...

I totally agree... and I have spent many hours watching. :)

Thanks for all the replies! Being able to reset/refill the carts is a major plus, however, Precision Colors has on their website that a solution is close at hand for the pro-1. My main concern is how many pictures that I print, and right now I average around 5 a week and most of my printing is...

What printer would you choose? A used canon pro-1, which I can not visually check out first and probably the inks are low or used up, OR a brand new canon pro-10 in the box for the same price. I love the idea of having the larger capacity carts for the pro-1, along with all the research that I...

Just curious, was the first print OK?

Do you need special software to view the information while in the service mode?

I'm in the Chicago area, and I see the Canon Pro-100, still in the box, on Craigslist for $100 all day long. Currently, I have several and was thinking of purchasing more, just to sell off the ink and print head so I can have a spare body just for this waste ink issue. If I can make $70 (after...

My wife is a cathedral artist and a lot of her pictures goes on A3+, so when I can find a good deal on that, we usually stock up. But the last week or so, she's been wanting the smaller sizes, 5x7. Personally, my favorite is either 8x10 or 8.5x11.

Hi Guys, I'm slowly building up a supply of photo paper, but the wife always wants something different, so I have to hit the internet OR go to a local business. What are your favorite sizes that you most often print to? Have you found any places that consistently have "great" prices? I have to...

Thanks for all the responses... Frys had a sale on some photo paper and the information threw me for a bit. It's weight is 230mg and the thickness is 11 mil. You never stop learning, do you! :)

Hi Guys, Can someone enlighten me on how photo paper thickness is represented? When I look for this in the stores, I see a mixture of "mil" and "lb" stock. Is there some kind of cross-reference I can use to convert one to another? William

Believe me... it was quite the surprise! People say craigslist could be dangerous at times, but when I arrived and seen the state police car in the driveway, it made all my fears go away. :)
