    The 60-hour Myth on Canon printers (Not Here-say)

    It does; they are seen very clearly on the bottom of the carts, especially on flushed/cleaned carts. I'll try to grab a clear picture of it soon. Posting to/following this thread because it interests me...

    OctoInkjet's shipping to US

    The delivery did indeed arrive Saturday, undamaged. All seems good after resetting all 8 of my empty cartridges. :thumbsup to Octo from another US customer.

    "Mark Forums Read" is directly below "Forums" at top of page. Why?

    Wow, that's some fast response and action!:thumbsup Didn't get a chance to see if the banner was wonky; it looks fine now to be sure.

    "Mark Forums Read" is directly below "Forums" at top of page. Why?

    Asking about this because it's awfully easy to mis-click the wrong one. If a person's not paying attention, they might reflexively confirm the action. I've accidentally clicked it a few times, but had enough mental wherewithall to not confirm.:\ Could it be moved to a separate and...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information and Submissions

    It seems it's no longer about being 'topical' to the forum, so here's my submission, a picture(NOT Photoshopped) by my own self: Photo shot at around noon, with a CPL filter, through glass, into the engine chamber of a modern Ferrari, circa 2010. I love the way the clouds reflected against the...

    OctoInkjet's shipping to US

    Well, this is interesting.:confused: I suppose I should attribute it to funds being transferred overseas and all that goes with such transactions, as I don't know the logistics of such things. However, there's new movement! USPS shows "TENDERED TO DELIVERY SERVICE PROVIDER" now, with mention...

    OctoInkjet's shipping to US

    Well, I didn't contact them due to my own laziness, but today's status now shows as "On Its Way to USPS" to a shipping facility in Seacaucus, NJ. "USPS Awaiting Item SECAUCUS, NJ" So, there's now movement. Finally.

    OctoInkjet's shipping to US

    I haven't contacted them yet. I'm figuring it's more likely to be shipping from the UK instead of New York. That would better explain USPS status limbo of "Label created, not yet in system." I'll reach out to them tomorrow if there's still no change.

    OctoInkjet's shipping to US

    I've placed and paid for an order for the CLI-42 chip REdSETTER from Octo. I live in the U.S. Email from them provides a tracking number, dated June 11. PayPal was used to purchase; the charge was applied June 10. FAQs about shipping on their website tell of a New York distribution location...

    Where is the forum's server located?

    Actually, just a few times while clicking links. I've noticed it primarily on refresh or navigation. No timeouts when trying to post a message. It seems to be just a hop or two from my end, not the other way around. It's been sporadic, not chronic.

    Where is the forum's server located?

    Well, it's been some years since I've actively combatted spam and used all the stuff to track the ultimate source, SamSpade won't install on Win7 64, and the usual Win-included traces and pings source to IP addresses I'm unable to identify, most likely due to my rustiness in such things. :( But...

    PIXMA MG5320 - Thorough printhead cleaning method?

    Yes, this seems to be the general concensus, and not just here. I'll contact Canon Parts for availability/pricing, comparing against price of a Canon-authorized dealer with new stock on eBay.

    Where is the forum's server located?

    I only ask about this because I frequently receive timeouts when refreshing a page or clicking to go somewhere else. Am I a very long distance from the server here in the US? The domain is registered with GoDaddy, with a contact in California, USA. Seems unusual to me that a US-based server...

    PRO-100 cart refilling: Do I have this right?

    Yes, well. :oops: Knowing that Octo and PC are something of competitors, but across the pond from one another... I actually purchased the chip resetter from Octo, saving several dollars, even though I am in the US. Syringes and tips are easy to come by and cheap. I'll only need the inks from PC...

    PIXMA MG5320 - Thorough printhead cleaning method?

    Aha! :celebrate That's maybe not the rub, then. As mentioned, the carts are from Precision Colors: Part of a complete refill kit including inks, chip resetter, and flushed OEM Canon carts. The carts and used head are working as expected, with the exception of not putting ink down to the...

    PIXMA MG5320 - Thorough printhead cleaning method?

    Yes, well... @The Hat : Are you actually confirming my query about non-OEM chips disabling color print? The used head from eBay has printed some, so is it illogical to believe that a new OEM printhead will restore function with OEM carts and a proven resetter? I suppose I don't understand the...

    PIXMA MG5320 - Thorough printhead cleaning method?

    Hmmm. No further feedback? :\ Respectfully bumping this thread in hope of some further opinions on the issue. I simply hate to trash this thing, as it has served me quite well until very recently.

    Introduction -- New Member

    That's fine and good; it boils down to whatever method one knows and is comfortable with. And you're very on-target with Intel vs. AMD arenas. My only point is that the userbase here does not display combative counterattacks or subtle goading to drive conflicting opinions away, and for that, I...

    Introduction -- New Member

    Thanks for the greets, folks. I always appreciate these sorts of friendly and helpful communities. So many others are largely fanboys and naysayers, deriding those who don't use what they've chosen. I see a noticeable absence of that here...
