Guys, thanks for all the comments. I've just been taking a closer look at my supplier's website and I'm starting to see how confusing it is. https://www.consumables.co.nz/shop/online-shop/ink-toner-ribbons/inkjet-cartridges/canon-inkjet-cartridges/canon-multifunction-printers/canon-pixma-mx726...

Thanks, Stratman (love your avatar - bzzzz!) Your info is MOST helpful - spells it out clearly. And no, I don't have an MX720, just the MX726. I must correct that in my details. But I also have an MG7760.

Thanks, Stratman. So the supplier was in error in telling me that the ink from the big 650 cartridge was the same as used in the small 651 cart? (Both pictured) Something else: He also said that when it runs out, I could replace the large black cart in my MX726 - a 655 XXL - with the 650XL...

Canon MX726 - Win7 Accidentally bought the compatible Big Black cart when I just wanted the small one (photo) Sending back to the supplier is uneconomic, so I just ordered another. My question: The supplier says the ink is the same. Any reason why I can't just drill a small hole in both carts...

Sorry for the delay, been without a computer for a few days. Ok - headsup: The yellow cart was around half full, but nothing was coming out. Color prints were missing yellow tints and Nozzle Checks showed only a white space on the page. The cart was the last remaining original Canon, I'd...

Thanks, Stratman. I'll check out your links, too. Detergent? Just a supermarket dishwashing liquid (for hand dishwashing that is. My job :-)) Windex in NZ? Looks like it comes from USA. $17. Must be mostly freight cost. There has to be a local equivalent, I'll check the bottle labels :-)

Bud Stansbury does collections of pics and docs for disassembling\reassembling several printers, including the MP830. There's a small fee. Sorry - I've lost the link. Someone else might have it. LOL, everyone keeps saying, 'Windex, Windex!'. But it's a product that's not for sale in NZ. There's...

Thanks, Hat and KDSData. Hat, I'm guessing you were looking for a scan of the printout? I can do that, but I'll try a new Yellow cart first. The printer status says it's full but in reality it's only half full. It's only a compatible cart - not Canon - so the chip could be unreliable or bad. Re...

I've already done a CLEAN then a DEEP CLEAN but there's no yellow output, even though the cart is showing 80% full in the status window. I'm thinking that the printhead could do with a clean? Advice, please :-)

The Hat, I'd like to study refilling tutorials that are relevant to my MX726 and MG7760 printers. Can you point me at some, please? And on that subject, I don't understand why your own signature references - 'Top fill Method' etc, aren't linked.

Question: Why does the opposing team still knock into the player after he scores? In American football, that would be a penalty since the play is over. I didn't watch that video, but the action you've described is usually a matter of the opposing player's momentum. It's rarely intentional. If...

The Hat, ta for that info. Just had another email from Rihac about price. A link shows '$14' for ink but it's not clear exactly what that's for. Like, size\quantity. I'm guessing it might be for a 100mll bottle. Is that what you guys pay? So you reckon I should only refill the original carts? I...

LOL. Actually it was 108 years. But your guys played well and ours didn't. Deserved win. Asian inks, yeah, I'm beginning to see Korea mentioned. Not North Korea, I hope. The refills might be radio-active :-) Anyway, I made contact with Rihac Australia, and they seem to be willing to ship to NZ...

The Hat, thanks for your comment. There are a couple of reasons I asked here instead of Google. First is that I wasn't sure if the MX726 and the MG7760 used the same inks or if I'd need to find sources for two different types of ink. Second, I don't think a lot of self-filling goes on in NZ...

Hi all. It's time I started getting to grips with filling my own ink cartridges. My printers: Canon MG7760, Canon MX726. My question: Is there anyone here who can tell me where to buy bulk ink for these printers in New Zealand? If it makes a difference to the ink type I require, I doubt I'll...

KGTheMc, thanks for the template 8-))

CD printing software: Here's a heads-up on my last heads-up :) After vociferously extolling the virtues of Canon's CD-Label Print, I've reluctantly had to do an about-face. I was wrong - the software doesn't cut it. On my new MG7760, anyway. Problem was, I couldn't get it to accurately center...

Sorry, PeterBJ, I didn't see your question. No, I didn't need to use the aomwin110ea23 patch. The whole exercise was disconcertingly simple :-)

Hi all. Here's a heads-up on my 'attempt-to-use-my-new-MG7760-to-print-CD-labels'. Dunno what I was getting all het up about! After mulling over which software to use, I took the path of least resistance and installed Canon's CD_LabelPrint 1.4.2 (9.56MB) onto my W7 machine, located my...

msmart, thanks for that. Most interesting :-)
