    Pixma 4500 AC power adapter module

    Think this one might fit? Looks like it has the same voltage ratings but that doesn't mean they're on the same power pins... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Canon-PIXMA-iP4820-Printer-AC-Adapter-Power-Supply-K30314-/280849055540

    Epson artisan 810 CISS problem

    Where did you get your CIS from? One of the defective refill kits I bought, the crossbars that push the chip bar against the pins weren't long enough. It needs to be very very tight. I used some thick masking tape around the bars to increase the pressure. It worked, but the rest of the system...

    anyone have experience with refilling epson nx330 'small in one'

    I have had nothing but problems with that system from inkjetcarts in my 1400. Some leak out the thin side plastic sheet, others the lids seemed to not be airtight and drained into the printer overnight. It doesn't matter that it's a different model, the blank carts themselves are all the same...

    GOING THROUGH PRINTER HELL-Need recommendation on 8.5 x 11 art printer

    OEM means Canon branded. Original Equipment Manufacturer. The expensive ones. I forgot the Artisan has a bottom feed paper path. I would definitely try to find a top feed printer for heavy or unusual paper types. They're getting rare these days, the Artisan 1430 and the R2000 and higher models...

    Costco Glossy Instant $9.00 Rebate

    Hopefully just a "back to school" related discount! I should see if I can find a friend with a Costco membership to get some for me. I wish Staples had a good letter sized photo paper with their $1 rebates, the HP Everyday is great for proofing but not much else. The Photo Matte for $1 (after...

    Known good supplier of refillable carts for 1430?

    I have had nothing but problems with inkjetcarts products recently, carts leaking all over the place and chips not reading right. I have been buying from them for years and suddenly the quality has gone down the drain. I got new inks and carts from Precision Colors and they worked just fine, and...

    GOING THROUGH PRINTER HELL-Need recommendation on 8.5 x 11 art printer

    Do you not have a choice in papers? If you are only using them for a few weeks I don't understand why you would use expensive canvas paper to begin with. If you can change brands, you may want to try Red River's instead...

    Epson SX445W part blurry prints

    Great! At least it was an easy fix. Thanks for posting your solution, too. Too many people never post what eventually worked.

    Epson SX445W part blurry prints

    Since it seems to be happening at regular intervals and not all the time (which it would if it was a printhead issue), I would try cleaning your feed rollers. Unfortunately, if the roller motor is damaged, I don't think there's much you can do about it.

    Which is the best home inkjet printer?

    From what I've seen, color laser manufacturers have long gone the way of inkjets and a lot of them sell junky printers with toner cartridges even more expensive than inks. Also, I've found that most aftermarket toner suppliers are so expensive (usually only 25% off or less than OEM prices) that...

    Which printer do I want to replace my recently deceased Epson 1400?

    The problem with the 1430 is only the newest of the new chips out there work with it. Bad vendors are probably trying to get rid of their 1400 chips by sending one anyway and "maybe it'll work". I've heard odd things about the 1430 being less well built (which is weird since it looks like a...

    How does Kirkland glossy compare to Canon Plus Glossy II.

    Does anyone even sell universally compatible swellable paper? I know for HPs you can't use their higher end papers (which used to be swellable, not sure about the current generation) in other brands because the colors are a train wreck (though I guess you could try making an ICC profile for...

    Which printer do I want to replace my recently deceased Epson 1400?

    There are refurbished Epson 1400s on sale at the Epson Clearance Center for $179. I have one running with pigment inks using cartridges and inks from Precision Colors. I use Epsons because I'm paranoid about running a printhead dry, and an Epson will recover from that but a Canon will simply...

    Inkjetcarts Ink

    I've been using their products for six years without problems and in the last 3 months I've had more problems than the entire previous time with them, and only received replies that it was somehow my fault because they're a perfect company that never ever sells bad products. I don't know whether...

    HP Photosmart C-6180

    The C6180 takes those funky little 02 cartridges (if you have a CVS nearby last month they were clearancing these things out at <$4 so you may want to pop in and see if they have any left!). It's intended mainly as a photo printer, so the 02 black is dye. HP office printers usually have more...

    Refillable 676XL carts for WP-4020

    I've been buying from there for six years but the refillable carts I got for my 1100 and 1400 leaked everywhere. One set leaked out the side walls, the next set wasn't airtight and the ink would drain into the printer overnight. I bought multiple sets and kept getting told it was entirely my...

    Does this company exist?

    For me there's a point where I put up with somewhat bad service if there's a major price difference. I didn't want to throw out numbers in my last post but I could swear MIS was selling 2oz bottles for the same price as everyone elses' 4oz bottles at the time ($18-20). $15 seems to be the going...

    Does this company exist?

    I remember about 5 years ago looking at them for ink and it was just too expensive compared to several other vendors. I liked their blank carts better than some others I had tried, and I thought their bottom fill method was also better (and less messy) than the air pressure method from the fill...

    A very simple cartridge question.

    When it happened, I bought a new set of carts and they worked. I would soft reset with SSC about every six months, I was always paranoid about hitting the waste counter limit. The R220 burnt out in January, no matter what I did the black would not work. I tried multiple cleaning methods and...

    A very simple cartridge question.

    The dampers I bought for the dye printer are finally holding. Last night the cyan leaked out of the pigment printer. I give up. I'm buying a completely different system from someone else now. The only responses I ever got for problems I had (I also had a set of R220 auto-reset carts suddenly...
