    Druckerchannel test of ink for the new Canon cartridges

    @martin0reg: thank you for sharing your experience, I understand now that there is not "the best inks", but some almost equally good/ bad ones, that I have to try by myself to see with which I can manage to have better results. It sounds more relaxing to me!

    Druckerchannel test of ink for the new Canon cartridges

    Yes, I understand very well what you say about the unknown/unverified sellers, I also wouldn't buy from that sites (I only gave them as negative examples). But I see that some (specific) inks from Inktec are sold by Octoinkjet, too - and, due to the very good reputation of this seller, for me...

    Druckerchannel test of ink for the new Canon cartridges

    @The Hat, is my english so poor that makes me look like a dumb?! Of course that I know what cartridges uses my printer and what to look for on websites!!! As about who Prodlinks/Sudhaus are and what Octoinkjet sells, I'm pretty well documented - you should have understood that from what I wrote...

    Druckerchannel test of ink for the new Canon cartridges

    From what I've read (in many reviews, including the article that you have posted) the Prodinks products are good, maybe less the pigment black. I suppose this is the reason for which Octoinkjet offers a combined pack - the dyes from Prodinks and the pigment from KMP - and I see this as a very...

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    Yes, I know, I used to be one of those guys :) And, though I agree with what you say further: I had, long time ago, to give up this hobby because, combined with my perfectionism, it proved too costly as both time and money. But, indeed, the printers were not so performant as today, and the...

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    @The Hat, from what you say, it follows that the old chips were better than the new ones: they could be replaced one by one and could be filled all at the same time (that I also consider much more convenient). What were their drawbacks? As for color matching, I think this is not the priority...

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    @Vorkolor I'm glad you confirm that the refillable cartridges can work in combination with the compatible ones. Meanwhile, I found this article from which I quote: "Thus, the Canon printers also work easily with a mix of compatible refill cartridges and Canon original cartridges. However, you...

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    Sorry, my fault. I made a confusion between Precision Colors and Image Specialists. I've certainly absorbed too much information about refilling, last days :)

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    Hi @The Hat and thank you for the clarifications. So the conclusion is that, in order to switch to refillable cartridges, I have to waste a big part of the very precious Canon ink :) It's a little painful, as I"ve just bought my new Pixma IX6850 and hoped to enjoy a little longer the original...

    Replace all cartridges at the same time when switching to refillables? (PGI-550/CLI-551)

    Hi everybody, I've just joined this forum to discuss the same problem. I have met this warning - that the refillable ARC cartridges must be installed all at the same time and not to be combined with the original ones - on several ink vendors/producers sites (e.g. here - if not german, you can...
