Is there anywhere in the UK where you can purchase top quality inks direct from a shop or specific address rather than over the internet ? I Define top quality as ink that the majority of frequent users of the forum use. I Have no real problem with ordering via the net but if somewhere was in...

Thanks for the responses. I Guess it's simply not worth taking the risk as an extra bottle of ink is around 5.

I am sure this question has been asked before but a link to the reply would be helpful thanks, I Use CLi8 &PGi5 carts in a Canon MP 610 printer and recently purchased some refill inks from another supplier. The inks are dyebased for the colour carts and pigment for the PGi5. Can these inks be...

I Guess asking what the average life of an ink jet printer is similar to asking how long is a piece of string as the answer will depend on a number of variables such as the amount of use, type of printer etc. So I will break it down into sub questions. 1. Are the main makes of printer such as...

Have been refilling cartridges with no problems for some time with no problems but on refilling an original Canon CLI -8C which I have refilled and used about 5 times a nozzle check showed no output. Replaced with another cartridge and everything is ok, so that rules out the printer. The...

Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks !!

I wish to change the battery on a redsetter. Having done a brief search on this subject through the forum I have found lots of information on the actual battery change and use of AA batteries etc but what I am looking for (and I know it's there as I have seen it ages ago) is specific information...

Some excellent tips but I have always sealed the hole using a warm glue gun, it only takes a second and gives me peace of mind

When you say CLI-8, don't you mean PGI-5? Yes I did mean PGI-5... sorry about that.

Thanks for that ! 90% of the time I use the printer for Photos & Disk Labels so the colour carts get a lot of usage, I guess the CLI-8 cartridge is used more for letters & documents. The message which appears about the colour carts needing to be refilled has been fairly accurate but the CLI-8...

Can someone give me detailed information about what the cartridge chip does (In my case Canon 610 Printer) For example does it register the cartridge needs refilling after x number of operations or does it record the amount of ink used by that particular cartridge each time it is used ?

Is the ink in the PGI 5BK cartridge the same ink as in the CLI 8BK ? ( Canon Printer) I am a bit confused on this one as one supplier I ordered from indicated the same ink could be used in both cartridges but some sellers have individual refills for each of these cartridges. Can some one...

Thanks for that.... I will certainly put an order into websnail next time I require some ink !

The Hat, To be honest I have no reason for doing it... I Guess I posted the question in case anyone else had tried to do it. Looking on these forums there is a vast range of information about every aspect of ink jet cartridges but I don't think anyone has gone as far as trying to change a sponge...

I Guess no one would want to do this but is it possible to cut the top section of an ink jet cartridge which is directly above the sponge and replace it with a new sponge ? The top section would be sealed back in place using a hot glue gun. Prior to replacing the sponge it might be possible fill...

yes, shipping costs are reasonable. Just wanted to make sure I was not getting ink from America if there was a supplier in the UK. Thanks for the info

Have used Hobbicolor inks and am well pleased with them but are they only obtainable from America or are there any outlets in the UK that sell Hobbicolour inks ?

I Had a Lexmark C 510 printer.. note the word had, I ended up taking it to the local dump (Hope such a statement dosen't get me barred from this website when you consider the amount of work done by everybody in sorting out and researching printer problems) First the cartridges, around 60 plus...

for what it's worth, I Just remove the printer head, made up a solution of tepid distilled water with a few drops of amonia and slowly (and I emphasise the word slowly) squirted (Using a 20ml syringe) this through each print head where the cartridge sits. I do this until the water coming through...

Thanks for the comments. To be honest it's not a major problem as all I have to do is press the on button for the printer to get back on line. The Printer is approx 2 years old and has had considerable use so I will keep it going until it gives up the ghost. I Have a spare IP 4500 (refurbished)...
