This is a problem every serious photographer and possibly every customer who gets the print faces. Every camera produces some colors CRT can not display. Every CRT displays some colors inkjet printers can not print. Everyone wants the print to match CRT and everyone wants CRT to match their...

If R2800 or R3800 magenta and light magenta inks are used in R2880 and R3880 will there be a green cast as the magenta and light magenta are not as sting as should be? It seems if you can't do it one way then you can't do it the other around either. I don't know. If I do get the R2880 I will...

The magenta and light magenta ink used by R3800 and R3880 are different. They are not interchangeable. I am in the process of acquiring a R2880 which uses the same set of ink for R3880. I was told that R3800 magenta and light magenta ink can not be used on R2880 nor R3880.

How did the first batch work? Perhaps you got a bad batch this time? "Feeling" is not a good troubleshooting method. I use Hobbicolors dye based inks for my Epson printers too for about a year now. The colors are not different from OEM. They look fine to my eyes. You may want to check out your...

If your printer is only 5 weeks old and the cartridges are not out of ink Canon should replace your cartridges under the warranty. I am not sure how good Canon will treat customers in India. I hope they are equally good as they are here in USA. In my experience they do provide replacement for...

The print head is probably damaged and can not be fixed.

Are you sure your cartridge is not out of ink? Canon printer is warranted for 1 year (some stores may give only 3 months) you probably want to send it to the store where you bought it. They will likely replace it for you with a new one and a set set of ink cartridges. You can call Canon and it...

Panos, I am a customer of Image Specialists products. I am naturally concerned about any possible problems of the product I use. Presisioncolors is a distributor of Image Specialists. The presence of Precisioncolors on this forum naturally puts it in a position for any Image Specialists...

Mikling, thank you for the clarification. If I am not mistaken the affected ink is labeled with CL-221YD, which is one of your custom formulated ink (you have CL221YD and CL-221YD). It's great that you took care of the issue and I should be OK since I got my IS ink from a US dealer. The IS WJ797...

If I do take a vacation I hope I can enjoy the time off not to think about paying a premium for IS ink then suddenly hearing that the ink will react to Canon ink to crystallize and possibly choke my print head to death. I have looked at my CL1-221Y cartridges. None shows any problem. My ink...

Sure, I will try to contact Image Specialists. Mikling, is there a IS part number of this problematic ink that you can give? You don't owe me one but I think you do need to disclose it to this forum. It's great that you are taking care of the problem. If it is an IS problem you will want to be...

So this means there is a problem in the ink. I just searched both at Image Specialists web site. I found nothing. I think the manufacturer owes us an explanation. Or is this another custom formulated ink? Please tell us the IS part number of this ink. I get my IS ink from a US dealer. I want to...

Never heard of CL-221YD nor CL221yD. My cartridge shows CLI-221Y. This is a freaking scary issue. Please explain and be very clear. Thank you.

Was this an issue of the ink manufacturer (Canon, Image Specialists), or an issue at Precisioncolors? I have not seen Canon or Image Specialists issuing a press note or anything about this. This sounds very serious because print head damage was involved.

Jimbo123, your MP830 uses the same print head my ip4300 uses. My ip4300 has been a work horse for me for over 6 years. I probably have printed tens of thousands of letter sized documents too. I usually print one side then will print on the other side later. The count for printed page is at least...

It is an innovative idea. I wonder how practical it is in actual daily refilling. Will the tank leak after inserting the paper clips?

Mikling, if you have a hard time understanding how the fiber runs in the the horizontal direction you can look at a piece of yarn found in this site: http://store.knitting-warehouse.com/yarn-caron-dazzleaire.html The fiber in a yarn thread is running in the direction of the length of the...

Your understanding of how the sponge works is wrong. This picture proves it. There is nothing wrong with the German Method. You can pierce the sponge a thousand times and the cartridge will still work. You still don't get it. Why? Because the fiber runs in the direction of the needle. You never...

How did you miss it that the fibers are running horizontally? You pictures show that clearly, don't they? My suggestion to you. Stop making your own interpretation from the look of your pictures. Look for Canon patent documents. That's where you will get a real clue. T. Hollenback

Imaggie, I am surprised that Epson did not give your friend a replacement printer. It would have cost less for Epson to repair the printer and your friend would have been much happier.
