    DVD printing

    From what I could find out about the disks (made in the UAE) they are the same MID code as the good old Verbatims with the AZO dye coating.. Any decent burning program will confirm the code MCC03RG20 See the link...

    What happens if I 3/4 refill and reset cartridge?

    So if your brand new original Canon cart is inserted into the printer, registered as full, develops a fault which lets the ink run out, the printer will happily print until the head burns out?

    Storage Clips for Cli-8 anf BGI-5bk

    'Wisconsin Clip' sounds good. Pity you couldn't have contrived to be from Scotland, 'Scottish Clip' has a hint of frugality about it.

    German Method Again

    I agree with Mowerman90. I only refill a cart if it's signaled as empty - I did it first because It seemed that I had to perform more cleanings after the nozzle check when I topped up the other carts.

    Question about German Method refilling

    Your caution does you credit, but the printer telling me that it was time to refill is the least of it. I fill each cart as prompted -only that one - even if others are getting low.
