    Old photographer interested in DIY printing

    I have cleaned and use the yellow now, but it's not the easiest to clean, but if one takes their time and does 2-3 windex soakings, the yellow comes out cleaner than the Cyan's......pure white sponge actually. Have 4 sets now that are cleaned and ready for refill, but the Cyan and PCyan do not...

    Canon ip6600d printhead evaluation please.

    After draining and flushing the 2 sets of carts i started with for this printer i have concluded to my own mistake. Not checking ink flow was the stupid act of the month:he to which just adds to the learning curve. The PM cart that was in use had no flow whatsover, even flushed it showed no...

    Canon ip6600d printhead evaluation please.

    Please take a look at this nozzle check, although it's obvious what's going on, i am not sure if it is permanent damage or not. Started going bad last weekend. Did a nozzle check and only one stripe. Took the PM cartridge out and dribbled Windex on the inlet of the PM port...........let sit for...

    Though not related to Printing, some of you may find this interesting!

    Wow, I come to this site every morning and never browse thru all the other boards until lately.

I am a Millman (real cabinet making) by trade since 1974 and truly appreciate what it means to...

    Canon CLI-42 "EU only" setup carts

    Canon says no worries............like Mike said, recycling is stricter in Europe. I also received a few CLI-42 carts from ebay with same logo. Put one in the printer and it blinked as an empty does and showed the big red X. Did the reset and it then showed full. I did not dare run a print with...

    Goof Off again with the Canon CLI-42

    something of an update, This venture included 3 CLI-42Y carts to be cleaned. 2 of these were loaded with Windex w/ammonia, and 1 with Goof Off. Checking the carts for cleansing affect is verified by shining intense LED light through them to see whether or not all the yellow is gone as all 3...

    Canon CLI-42 "EU only" setup carts

    LOL Mike...............i'm sure by now they have realised they goofed by not inserting a recycling fee in hopes of people sending in their used carts to keep them out of our hands. I believe you are right about the inventory balance. I looked on ebay and found quite a few completed sales on...
