John, check out Promax Imaging on your side of the pond, they rep OCP in UK & EIRE. I used their excellent dye ink in my Canon 9xxx's for the last decade, I'm waiting for their pigment ink for the Epson 3880--might then consider one. http://www.promaximaging.com/technical.html Check B...

If you still plan to do you own refilling get a set of squeeze bottles,needles (18ga 1/2 in) and scabbards from Howard Electronics. I still fill from the 'top' with ease, thanks to the sqz bots. I installed check valves in the bottles and suffer no drip or 'suck back' when refilling. Each...

The Munki or any other decent profiler will improve your print quality when using 3rd party inks and/or papers. Epson is not going to give profiles for Canon paper and vice versa. Paper mfgrs will attempt to supply profiles for their papers and various printers assuming OEM ink is used. I...

My ink choice is OCP for the R280, excellent ink quality at $16/pint, presently running in my wife's R280. I also use the OCP ink in my Canon Pixma Pro 9000 for my landscapes and panos. Rjettek is the US rep, http://rjettek.com/ The compatiblity list from OCP is: Your R280 cart is the TO77x...

Time to time, I post this response to the 'newbies' and others who are concerned about putting 3rd party inks into their printer and now want to know how and where can I get this 'stuff'. I feel that the wider audience in this forum will benefit from my comments; applies to all printers not...

Hazelnut, I think this solves your problems, it's available in your UK: Promax Imaging, they are also the rep for OCP inks. Whether you fill from top or bottom or sideways this info should help all! http://www.promaximaging.com/catalog/ look around...

lin, my response experiences are similar to yours-a few days to a few weeks. This has not been a problem for me, the carts and ARC chips purchased went smoothly. However, replacing a cart took a few 'whiles', my request was followed up by 1-2 phone call messages. Her inkjetreset phone # is...

Any thoughts about inserting a check valve into the squeeze needle assy? Squeeze the ink into the cart, release hand pressure on sqz bottle and withdraw needle. To re-vent the sqz bottle, a half turn on it's cap should do. Then repeat until cart is satisfactorily filled. irv weiner

Michelle, many thanks for your response and offer--I hav'nt gotten to the phone yet! One more request, the CC8 pix were excellent, however, could you post a shot just showing the exit port,cigarette and air vent with the large upper storage cap and exit cap removed? Actually the left hand side...

lin, thank you for your constructive reply, It is much appreciated. I did not overlook your feedback attempts toward Skyhorse, I was more concerned about the posts by dissatisfied users. Their vague responses do not foster a critical analysis of the problem and having vented their frustration...

siusiuenen, thank you for your reply. Can you indicate the failure modes encountered? I'm curious to know if they similar or varied widely. Secondly, how did you solve this problem? Dumped them or found a fix/fixes.? Thirdly, did the failures indicate air starvation after printing a group of...

Some comments and concerns about this cart and how 'we' respond. I have been using this cart since April '10, I do not print 100's of prints weekly, 50+/mo is more likely. Thus, I cannot give yet a solid evaluation of its performance YET! I purchased a set of 10-12 carts for my new Canon Px Pro...

Stratman: Once someone cracks open one of these new cartridges then we will know................??????? Outside of the creation of a new resetter for this egregious cart I believe we will find the interior structure unchanged thus the present drilling technique remains the same. If not...

kgvickers: Do NOT install a CIS ink system on your son's printer. The inordinate quantity of time he will be required to spend servicing/maintaining this system will drastically reduce his available academic study time, not to mention his needed 'partying' time. I don't know if you ever used a...
