Grandad35 Thats all well and good but what are you going to do throw out the ink, seems like a waste of money to me. Its probably for a good cause to see if you can put more ink in the cartridge than the Canon OEM. I will be looking for results. l

I have a friend with a Canon S9000 who started to receive the dreaded waste tank almost full error. Tried the reset sequence of: 1. Hold down the resume button while powering on, continue to hold the power button on untill the lite is steady green. 2. After the light is steady green release the...

Mostly I have refilled True Canon cartridges. What I do is to remove the ball from the top of the cartridge with a long finishing nail. Insert the nail at an angle (so the ball dosen't get pushed into the cartridge) far enough to pry it out of the hole. I then fill the cartridge with ink and...

I have some old MIS ink that seems to work fine. The only problem is MIS is probably not going to have the red or green inks for the i9900. Every one else has the new ink colors except MIS. They seem to favor Epson as opposed to Canon.

You might want to look at Colrobat web site, I seem to remember seeing a post about the sponges not lasting that long in their CFS. They had a problem with ink not feeding properly after awhile.

I have been using my i9900 since July 2004 and have printed over 200 4x6 on Kodak paper and about 300 prints on 8.5x11 paper. I use Profile Prism to profile my papers and ink, till now I have used about 75% of my green and red. I can see the difference in the greens and reds with my...
