Hello sneezer, what are the "strange tactics" you've tried?

If you liked Hobbicolors ink, why not continue using it and refill original Canon cartridges? Contact Dave, he can provide silicon plugs for you to seal the refill hole.

I'll be a little off topic here. If anyone thinks this is worth starting a new thread, do right away :) on30trainman, I've been using Profile Prism for quite a while (about a year) , and even if it's not perfect it's a good product. (never managed to get a good black and white print out of it) I...

So far so good for me with hobbicolors! I'm refilling the original carts and using an original redsetter I got on Ebay

Nice to see it also works with HP :)

embguy, you could maybe try NET USE LPT3: \\{your computer name or IP here}\i550 But they error says what it says, there is no printer shared at the location you entered. Are you sure about the name you entered? ghwellsjr, thanks for the tip. I'll try, but i'm not 100% sure this would work with...

Hello embguy, If the printer shows up in the "printers" panel, this trick will work, regardless if the printer is really on a network directly or via a router or locally connected via USB (my ip4500 is local to the computer). Even if a router is sharing the printer, try to follow the steps i've...

I was looking for a way to do scheduled nozzle checks on my printers. (every 3 days for me) I know MIS autoprint exists, but it sends a purge page without actually telling me the nozzles are clean. I've found a way!!! The trick is to capture the data sent to the printer for a nozzle check, and...

Hello sir, i'm sorry if this took FOREVER to get you the info, the printer has been in it's box since I started this thread.I took it out yesterday and yes, it does have a small door and once open you can see the tube going to the waste ink pad. ... and it's much much easier than my R220 was to...

I've been looking for that type of clip for a while. Does anyone know if Compubiz ships to canada??

Hi everyone, I got a NX100 all-in-one free with another purchase. It's still in the box for now, I'm not sure if I'll actually use it or give it away. I'm a little confused about the cartridges... it came with T088 pigment carts. Google tells me it could also be used with T069 dye-based carts...

Hello Serville, would you be kind enough to report back after a few refills of those hong kong cartridges? Empty CLI-8 and PGI-5 are quite expensive on Ebay these days... I've been able to find two sets at a "reasonable" price a couple of weeks back, but I'm not sure I'll always be that lucky!

It all depends what retailler are available to you I guess..... A few years ago I would get my HP carts refilled at Atlantic Inkjet... the ink was fine, but as they say, YMMV

on30trainman, I'm also using Profile Prism and will be using Hobbicolors ink as soon as my OEM carts are empty. I'm curious... have you profiled both inks? Is the gamut for the UW-8 really that much wider? pharmacist, I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to purge the oem ink from the...

I settled on this one... it's probably quite similar to tghe snapware one.. http://www.starfrit.com/Products/kitchen/Container/Regular/94603.aspx?sc_lang=en-CA

thanks everyone! I'll store them in a tupperware, but I think I'll also put them in individual plastic bags, in case something goes horribly wrong and one of them leaks. As for the purging for color accuracy, my monitor is calibrated with a Spyder, and I also own a copy of Profile Prism. I am...

Hello everyone, I just got an IP4500 to replace my old Epson R220 (keeps clogging, cd tray doesn't feed, etc etc)... It's still in the box until I run out of ink on the epson. I've found two sets of empty OEM carts on Ebay.. I've been reading up on refilling those for the last 2 days, and I'll...

Thanks.. So I guess it's going to stay in the box for a couple of weeks, and primed before installing.

Hello everyone, I purchased a CIS kit recently but i'm not quite ready to install it (my carts won't be empty before a week or two). It's a pre-filled kit... how long can I wait to install it? If I wait that long, will it clog or anything? Another queston, the kit simply states to install it...
